Thicker Than Blood
I love this concept. Palestinians and Israelis who have lost family members come together to donate their blood as a 'symbolic act of healing.'

Sale Moments
There's a new Anthon Berg ad out that makes me smile every time I see it. Although some might say it's somewhat sexist (shops! Sale! Chocolate! Shoes!), I think it gets away with this. It's simple, funny, sweet and kind.
Johnnie Walker Meets Old Spice
The Old Spice ads are great. They're original, funny and made everyone on the internet get very excited. I believe they even impacted the bottom line, which is quite a feat all things considered. Anyway. This morning I saw the new ad from Johnnie Walker, which immediately seemed more than a tad familar.
Just me?
Old Spice (Wieden + Kennedy) were on to a good thing, and Johnnie Walker knew it. There's no shame in borrowing an idea and making it your own (after all, everything's a remix, right?), but borrowing a global viral phenomenon, slapping a different brand on it, and throwing in your own catchy line (leverage, portfolio, fiduciary) just to make it completely different, well, I can't say it's the best idea. Then again. I could easily be wrong.
