Danerolles is a brand of ready to bake pastry. With this billboard they want to promote their croissants by shaping the billboard as a croissant, simply by rolling it up. The idea is really good, the image looks a bit like it’s photoshopped, but Y&R Amsterdam confirmed it is in fact real.

This commercial is made by production company Artcore for the Romanian car manufacterer Dacia. The spot features an old couple and a car salesman trading inventive insults. Liners such as ‘I bet you did it on the backseat with your mother, while your father watched‘ and ‘I’ll put my pecker underneath your mustache, you filthy gipsy‘, pass while both parties are trying to make the best deal..
Naturally, this commercial was banned.

Stars Of Football“; at first it seemed a viral from Nike, but now that the second viral entered that doubt is cleared. The brand nor the agency is known yet, the only thing the consumer knows is that the campaign will be elucidated in 11 days and that many famous and talented Dutch players (maybe Arjen Robben?) will participate..
Until now, enjoy the practical jokes by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Schalke 04, Germany) and Ricky van Wolfswinkel (FC Utrecht, The Netherlands) after the jump. Hilarious!

Everyone knows the legend that eating carrots improves your eyesight. With this billboard the advertising agency is implying you need to eat more carrots from HAK if you can’t read the message. The billboard probably isn’t that effective for by passers but the idea is great.
