"Creek" Levi's 501 commercial




This is one of those classics with the old-world ring to it... The BG is "Inside" by Stiltskin

Levi's Commercials by Michel Gondry - The Chemist

Watch Pocket: The Chemist



One of the most oft repeated sapid,beaten-to-death jokes made in the print of yonder days which is sooo Michel Gondry...

But given the current day scenario, father's have much to celebrate if their little gurl's boyfriend is wearing Jeans with watch pockets.

You know what's in there...!! :)

Product: Watch Pocket: The Chemist
Brand: Levi's

Director: Michel Gondry, whose experiments with the "Bullet Time" method of filming was made use of in Matrix.

Levi's Commercials by Michel Gondry - The Mermaids

Shrink to Fit



The Mermaids look eerie in the pale blue halo of the underwater hues.....

Are they trying to say that Shrink-to-fit jeans enhances your sex-appeal? If it shrinks any further... Ouch!!!!! there wouldn't be much to appeal either ....

Little Mermaid, Ariel would have been mighty disappointed had Prince Eric worn those jeans :)

Product: Shrink to Fit
Brand: Levi's
Director: Michel Gondry

This is a VERrrrrrrrrrrry simple ad with no major USP being touted about and screaming into the faces of the viewers...

Talks volumes about how much the ads have morphed over the years where the focus is more on entertaining the viewer.
Err..That's what I watch ads for .. I dunno about the rest of the junta... No amount of "Cos you are worth it" lines are gonna make me hide my grays.

Well, "Thinking Outside the Bun" I consider myself impervious to the jingle-chants... ;)

Levi's Blind Man Ad



Mistaken Identity:
A man in Men's room, with a cane; A good looking fugitive loaded with cash....

See what happens next!!!!

Lego - Relativity


http://www.andrewlipson.com/escher/relativity.html

During my visit to Mall of America (MOA) America's Largest Mall at Minneapolis, I dropped by the Lego Imagination Centre. The Lego constructions were mind blowing. And very similar to the Miniland of Lego.

For more reference check this up: http://www.legoland.com/

The picture above is something that I chanced upon while surfing and felt it derserved amention for the effort that has gone into creating the Lego rendition of MC Escher's Relativity Painting.

  • The word "Lego" comes from Danish leg godt which translates to "play well". The name could also be interpreted as "I put together" or "I assemble" in Latin, though this would be a somewhat forced application of the general sense "I collect; I gather; I learn"; the word is most used in the derived sense, "I read". The cognate Greek verb "λέγω" also means "gather, pick up", but this can include constructing a stone wall.
  • Lego Group produces over 306 million miniature tires each year - more than any other tire manufacturer in the world.
  • Six 2x4 Lego bricks of the same color can be put together in 915,103,765 ways, and just three bricks of the same color offer 1,560 combinations. The figure of 102,981,500 is often given for six pieces, but it is incorrect. The number 102,981,504 (four more than that figure) is the number of six-piece towers (of a height of six)
  • Motto: det bedste er ikke for godt. Danish for "The best isn't good enough". This motto was created by Ole Kirk to encourage his employees never to skimp on quality, a value he believed in strongly.
  • On average, everyone in the world has 62 Lego bricks each.
  • Only one percent of the plastic waste in Lego factories goes unrecycled
