There, There

From JWT Cairo, a series of ads for first aid cream that are wrong on just about every level. Once you've got over the images of babies being pig roasted, toasted or burnt to death with a flame thrower (by their parents, no less) you can enjoy the terrible, and decidedly creepy, illustration style.

Irn Bru: If

Engaging, funny, moving, beautifully shot... a lovely ad from Irn Bru that makes excellent use of Kipling's If and captures some of the great things about Scotland and its people.

Stars What Sell. #7: Johnny Cash

There was a time - from around the late-seventies till the early-nineties - that the late, great Johnny Cash wasn't, in fact, so great. He still had that voice, of course, but it was often heard over some of the most mediocre songs of his career. At the same time, he seemed happy to trade in his Man in Black persona for something a little more cuddly.

As he did here, in an ad for Taco Bell (which, as you might expect, also makes good use of his surname).

Interestingly, the ad was made just a couple of years before he made his triumphant return to serious artist status with American Recordings in 1994.
