Celebrities Get Lippy

Viral Ad for Action Aid

We Say:
A change from the usual pile-em-high technique of the increasingly salesy viral ad format, here a group of prominent female celebs give up some time to promote the thoroughly worthy ‘International Womens’ Day’.

Get Lippy Girls!*

* Is this an inappropriate forum to mention that we go slightly wobbly at the knees at the thought of the rather scrumptious Sophie Ellis-Bextor and enticingly mischievous Miranda Richardson in high gloss pout-mode? Thought so…

They Say:
Joanna Lumley, Kathy Burke, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Beverley Knight, Annie Mac and Miranda Richardson mark the 100th anniversary of INTERNATIONAL WOMENS’ DAY on March 8th 2011 by letting rip on women’s rights for ActionAid’s GET LIPPY campaign.

*Shot by celebrated photographer Rankin.

Would you swallow it?

Viral Ad for ActionAid

We say:
Fine viral, with a nasty sting in the tail. Still – I do fancy a beer right now…

They say:
Grolsch’s owner SABMiller is avoiding its taxes around the world, by siphoning profits into tax havens.

They’re the world’s second biggest brewer, making profits of £2 billion, with headquarters just off Park Lane. The taxes they avoid in Africa could put another an extra 250,000 children in school there.

When big companies avoid their taxes, ordinary people end up paying more. That’s why ActionAid is launching a campaign to make this company schtop tax avoiding.

To help us expose these shady dealings we’ve made a spoof ad for Grolsch. Please help us spread the word and force this company to clean up its act.

Probably the best cinema experience in the world

We say:
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Clapham Picture House. After watching this viral ad for Carlberg/Sky, I think it might be time for a return visit. Any chance of Nastasia Kinski serving up my brew?

They say:
Carlsberg and Sky 3D treated a London cinema audience to the most incredible experience last week when Kelly Brook made a surprise live appearance.

Cinema-goers at the Clapham Picture House were left stunned when the actress and model appeared through a side-door half-way through an advert to promoting the partnership between Carlsberg and Sky 3D, in which she was featured. The astonished audience applauded in delight as they were served Carlsberg by Kelly, who was wearing a classic 1950’s usherette style red satin outfit.

The Peckham Terminator

The Peckham Terminator

NSFW (with sound on)

This incredible video starring ‘The Peckham Terminator’ captures a serene street scene in leafy Peckham, south London.

NOT.

Here’s our observations:
1) Think twice before you catch a bus in Peckham
2) If you do, get on a double decker and sit on the top deck
3) WTF was the bus driver doing all that time? Had he called the police?
4) Is safety glass meant to break that easily (@ 3.18)?
5) Is it just me or (despite the Mr Sweary Persona of The Peckham Terminator) does our Peckham lad sound just a trifle camp?

Love to hear your comments on this one – just no swearing, you hear (as if!)…

And if The Peckham Terminator made you laugh, you’ll no doubt like this video of south London street justice that was a web sensation back in January: Granny Beats Up Dirty Old Racist

Snow Angel in Speedos

One of the weirder innovations of recent times is the snow angel – lying down in the snow and swirling your arms to make a wing-like imprint.

If you’re going to do something really daft like that why not go all out for this year’s idiot look and dress up in your favourite red speedos while you do it.

To complete the self-humiliation, then go and post a video of yourself on YouTube.
