Haloid and Japanese ads
While I finish another post, some internet vids for your amusement...
I was reading an article about the biggest internet-related stories in Japan in 2007. Among them, there were two ads that were really interesting.
The first is the Uniqlock. An interesting clock made as advertisement for Uniqlo where ballet dancers dance to the clock's rythm. I was considering installing the clock in this blog, but gave up the idea afterwards. Still, it's worth checking and an interesting piece of advertisement. Creative, not too invasive and useful.
The second is the Nike cosplay ad. Imagine a bunch os Super Sentai chasing a salaryman in Akihabara as a Nike ad. Couldn't? Then check this video.
Interesting is that according to the article, those two ads were famous in Japan, although it was the first time I've heard of them... Is it because I don't have a TV?
But then the Nike ad reminded me of something I've seen on Daniel's blog about a hero called "Norton Fighter" as an advertisement for Norton (Symantec). I gave it a look and found some these videos. Also funny... the actors' performance also makes it funny. Wonder if it was made on purpose...
Besides, those two ads (Nike and Norton) have the Japanese signature on it. They are "Muito Japao" in some sort of way.
But another video that caught my eye was another crossover: Halo and Metroid! Master Chief vs Samus!
Warning: some Halo fans may get angry at some point. Not telling spoilers, though.
