If Nothing Else, Ads Can Be Entertaining
Despite all our commentary about how questionable the impact of big ad dollars might be, I have to admit commercials can still be a a heck of a lot of fun to watch. We loved the Big Ad.
We recently met with Flixpo, "The Internet's largest collection of free iPod and PSP downloads." They are doing interesting stuff. Worth checking out.
One thing to note is the clips they have lots of ads. Some are hilarious, others are downright obscene (but of course you will check them out anyway - esp. the IKEA one - who said sex doesn't sell)
(Of course, note, we also recently met with some folks from AOL - and let me tell you their SuperBowl ad site was just as important as the SuperBowl game itself - and that's not just because I'm a bitter Seahawks fan).

Ads can be not only entertaining, but therapeutic – a couple of years ago I even sent Kodak’s commercial “Share Moments. Share Life” as a part of present to a close person. And every time I see the commercial of the "Ferrero Rocher" chocolates I smile and feel good! Here is a business idea: create a DVD with the best commercials voted by your blog users. My 5 contemporary picks would be Kodak, “Ferrero Rocher”, “Audi” (the one with the trampoline), Michelins tires (with the pet) and Venus. And don’t forget to include ones that run at the dawn of TV advertising! Such DVD could become a collectible!
