Interesting Banner
It seems like nowadays people doing small-scale businesses like to employ fun (at times nonsensical) tactics and wordings to attract customers, as in the handphone repair advertisement I had posted before.
A few days ago, I saw another banner of such nature at Albert Mall area selling towels; see for yourself!
For those who don't understand Chinese, the sentence in asterisks meant "Anyhow selling (at incredibly insane low price) due to boss not in town". I just find it very funny, and it simply caught my attention despite the banner being disastrous in terms of composition and usage of colours.

Old Coca Cola TVC
I was sorting out my mp3 in my laptop when I stumbled upon the song "I Like To Teach The World To Sing", and all memories suddenly surfaced. I was instantly reminded of a Coca-Cola advertisement which I had watched on TV when I was still a small child. After rummaging through Youtube, I've found 3 versions of Coca-Cola TVCs using the same song, but done in different years (supposedly 1970, 1983 and 1984). However, the version I remembered was nowhere to be found (I'm not quite sure if it was the second clip that was shown on our local TV back then). Nevertheless, I've decided to put the 3 I''ve found up here for nostalgic purposes. Merry Christmas in advance!

More Thai TVCs!
Here are more TVCs from Thailand! Now don't get me wrong; I'm not ultra-positiely-biased towards anything Thai, but I just feel that Thai commercials are really nice. Some of them are very funny, while some really makes you think and ponder.
Another Interesting TVC from Bangkok
This is yet another interesting TVC from Bangkok, by Sky Exits again, the company which did the CutePress powder shown in my previous post.
Once again, one do not need to understand Thai to know what the ad is trying to say, but the portrayal of the "villain" is again too stereotypical.

CutePress Powder Commercial from Bangkok
I've found this interesting TV commercial from Bangkok for CutePress cosmetic powder. It doesn't matter if you don't understand Thai, for the visuals explains all.
Personally I felt that the ad was funny enough, but at the same time, the stereotypical portrayal of Chinese opera actors as people who wore thick horrible-looking makeup is a bit hard for me to accept.

Unintentional Blunder or Deliberate Marketing Tactic?
I was passing by Chinatown area when this advertisement caught my attention.
Being a rather visual person I am, this kind of advertisement usually won't appeal to me, especially when it's sandwiched between more aesthetically pleasing ads. However, this ad just stood out, because of the wording used: "Shou Gou Hao Huai Shou Ji" (Buying good and faulty mobile phones). I'm not too sure if the characters "Shou Ji" (mobile phone) was intentionally written wrongly into "手鸡" (hand chicken?), or was it an unintentional blunder. If it's the former, I guess the designer had succeeded in making people take notice of this otherwise plain and boring ad, but if it's the latter, I feel it's too big a blunder for a commercial advertisement! What do you think?
