LikeBurger King Endorsement
It's not often that I find myself enjoying a Burger King Advertisement. The King frightens me a little, so it was refreshing to see a new twist on a "Celebrity Endorsement".

Hulu Go-To-Site For TV Shows, Movies
NPR ran a story yesterday, Hulu Go-To-Site For TV Shows, Movies. When speaking to my class, most if not all students raise their hand saying they watch programs off hulu or an equivalent website. It seems like the future, but as the story says the advertising within each video far from pays for production costs like advertising on traditional tv outlets. Will that mean less quality TV since eyes are moving to the web? Is there quality now, I guess that's debatable too!
Ironically, hulu advertises on TV. Here is an example that ran during the Superbowl earlier this year:

ESPN360 Clever Advertising
Not that I'm particularly a fan of Billy Mays (the infomercial guy), but I think this is a clever parody of an infomercial style commercial to advertise ESPN 360. It grabs your attention because Billy hosts the commercial. But, before you decide to tune away because your gut tells you it's an annoying infomercial, you stay watching because of it's wit and sarcasm (and it's only 30 seconds long!)

New Sprint Campaign
Sprint has rolled out their new ad campaign. I like the design, its clever, and it has even a little humor with its jab at Twitter.
