Friday curious: Creative print adverts that make us think

[airiefairie.livejournal.com]

Those tedious commercials! They pour upon us from everywhere. Big flashing numbers and letters showing per cents; promotions and discounts; menstrual products and prostate medicines, and who knows what other nonsense. Hey, commercials even occupy the bulk of the TV broadcast of actual sports games!

And still, there might be a ray of hope amidst all that. A pinch of brilliance amidst a sea of trivial mediocrity. Pockets of true creative thought that makes us laugh, and think, and contemplate for a second. Here is a handful of those...

Ecovia: stop the violence! Don't text and drive.


Keloptic shows life through quality glasses.


WeightWatchers and their healthy architectural solutions.

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but the US flag on the moon at this point is solid white, due to solar radiation.

I suppose, I just think of it as the sun never loses a fight.

Well, the Sun is mortal too.
