Summer Special


Love the simplicity of this ad although I think Minis are totally overpriced and overrated. Why drive something everyone else has? Give me something original.

Clever


This ad works because EVERYONE can relate. Like the time I got home at 5am and there was a blackout in my apartment block and I had to take the stairs, got to the 3rd floor and realised I'd left my house keys in the car. Managed to retrieve keys but on the way back up the stairs lost my balance, fell back down stairs and the entire contents of my bag (including keys) went in every direction in the pitch dark. Luckily my screams woke a kindly neighbour ( thank you Harvey) who helped me gather up my things and helped me limp to my front door. Lesson learnt: be nice to your neighbours. You never know when you'll have a flat tyre (thanks AGAIN Harvey), a burst geyser or a maniacal vandal who takes a screwdriver to your vehicle (wow, WHO did I piss off?)

Cute!


I don't usually like ads with babies because it's the oldest trick in the book (e.g. the Evian break-dancing babies ad)but this is sweet and obviously aimed at mom's or broody girls like me.

Nice


1st rule of advertising - keep it simple.

My mom is terrified I'm turning into a hippie but I love this picture.

Mantra


World War II poster that inspires me during tough times. Nothing like the Brits' stiff upper lip to get one through.

Super Jew

Took a trip to the Rheinfalls today and they are BEAUTIFUL! Stood on the viewing platform and got soaked with water, such fun - a must see if you are ever in Switzerland. Here's a funny moment I have to share and what earns Puff his nickname which is the title of this post... Me: "It's amazing baba!" Puff: "And free!" OMG, too funny. x
