Hurley from LOST in the advertisement for Mr. Cluck's new Outback Roasters menu. He says that ever since he won the lottery, he has had good luck, and that he dreamed of this idea on a vacation to Australia. It's followed by a commercial for Oceanic Airlines where they claim a perfect 30 year safety record. Did the nuclear explosion at the end of last season really reset our timeline? January can't get here fast enough.

Giant Domino Guinness Video
New Guinness advert: Giant domino villageBy Nicole Martin, Digital and Media Correspondent

From the moment Guinness used a Toucan to promote its dark stout, the brewery's adverts have always been iconic. Its latest and most expensive one, which will be shown tonight for the first time, is no exception.
Shot in an Argentinian mountainside village, it features a game of dominoes which escalates to include suitcases, tyres, oil drums, fridges, wardrobes and cars.
Proving that "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait", it culminates with the pages of 10,000 books flipping open to create a giant pint of Guinness. The advert, part of a £10 million campaign, was directed by Nicolai Fuglsig, who was behind the Sony Bravia "balls" commercial.
He described his latest project as "the biggest challenge of my career to date".
"It was a really tough job. From the remote high altitude location to having to frequently reset thousands of props as well as working with hundreds of villagers who had absolutely no understanding of acting or film making," he said.
The advert took a week to film, with some of the sequences having to be reshot up to 15 times.
Setting the dominoes on the table at the start of the advert took a team of three experts two days, but it took just 14 seconds to topple.
Paul Cornell, the marketing manager for Guinness, said: "The ad is fundamentally a celebration of community. "It shows an entire village coming together to create an awe-inspiring spectacle of toppling objects."

Sony Bravia Ad - Egyptian Pyramids
This is the Sony Bravia ad made for Egypt. I don't like this one as much as the others,
(Play-Doh Bunnies, Bouncing Balls and Paint) but still pretty creative.

Sony Bravia Play-Doh Rabbits Ad
The new Sony Bravia commercial features stop motion Play-Doh bunnies that are jumping through New York City. I love these ads. You can see photos from the shoot and read about the making of the commercial here.
Commercials before movies worse than piracy?
This is an interesting argument from the movie blog.
"If you tell me the movie starts at 7pm, then when I PAY YOU to get into the movies, there is an implied contract that you give me what I paid for...a movie at 7pm. When you instead put up 15-20 minutes of commercials at 7pm you are stealing my time, and also stealing MY SHARE OF THAT $456 MILLION you made off my time."
His argument is basically that he doesn't mind ads in the theater before the start time, but once the lights go down, it's time for trailers for upcoming films and then the movie you paid for. It's not time for "Refreshing filmmaking shorts" presented by Coke, etc. I can't say I disagree. I don't like the commercials before films, but I have learned to deal with them as long as they are not at ear shattering levels. If they are quiet enough that I can have a conversation with the person I came with, without having to yell, I can put up with the ads. But once the start time comes, kill the ads.

Possibly the worst marketing campaign ever
Cadbury chocolate spent 6.2 million Euros on a marketing campaign that features a gorilla playing the drums in Phil Collin's song "In the Air Tonight". It's being called a "90 second film" by Cadbury. FILM? You have to be kidding me.
I have always been a firm believer that everything is better with monkeys. You take a situation and add monkeys and it is funny and entertaining. The online game "Bloons" has monkeys throwing darts at balloons. Brilliant! Add a monkey as a side kick to Clint Eastwood...movie magic! My faith in the "A monkey makes it better" idea is damaged beyond repair. I may never eat Cadbury again.
