Hmm. It appears to this cat GIF expert that the 2nd feline was tossed.Thoughts? Previous GIF where a pet destroys a kid.

After reading this ad, you will never walk near an Australian construction site ever again.

( click, via JB_AU)"Recovery" sells hangover "remedy" pills and drinks. That's quite a photo. If he also washes his alcohol-soaked body with Axe "Recovery" hangover curing shower gel, he'll be as good as new, I'm sure.

The apolitical Etch-a-Sketch ads everybody was hoping for.

( click, via)You get a golden PR opportunity like Mitt Romney's stupid aide Eric Fehrnstrom provided last week, you have to jump on it. And thankfully, Ohio Art—via their ad agency Team Detroit—jumped on it fast. Not great ads, but good enough. Previously : Romney Etch-a-Sketch art is classic.

Which agency had this exact same stupid bad hair ad idea first?

(click ads, via )Top—ad for Topcuts, a chain of Toronto salons. Ad agency: Taxi 2.Bottom—ad for Kanechom, a Brazilian hair care company. Translation: "We know how you feel on a bad hair day." Ad agency: Filadélfia.Both ads released this week. Previously in Who Had It First:Two exact child sexual abuse ads • FedEx vs. Aramex, both awarding-winning.

The first ever ad for the first ever Wal-Mart.

New Boston Bruins web video is the best hockey advertising ever.

I am a lifelong Montreal Canadiens fan. And, therefore, there is nothing on this planet that I hate more than the Boston Bruins and their slack-jawed, mono- syllabic, average IQ 57 fans.The Bruin Bear spots of the past were funny. But, this, this here is brilliant. Show More Summary

Ford car ad features a terrorist atop a wedding cake.

( click, via)What?A black TSA officer marrying an Islamic extremist?What?That's a fairly disconnected way to promote a limited time sale.Ad agency: Bassat Ogilvy, Madrid.I assume this is a real ad since Ogilvy is Ford's European agency.Previously, Ogilvy Belgium produced this Ford Focus TV spot featuring farting mini-cows.

"Shit Kids Say" video is a dark, effective child abuse awareness ad.

Unlike 90% of these types of PSAs, I think this new spot for UK children's charity NSPCC might actually prompt some action—because the kid actors sell it. It's good, but not quite as good as this amazingly powerful Irish child creulty TV commercial from last year.Directed by Amanda Boyle. Ad agency: Inferno, London.

Real dead animals used in Chinese environmental ads.

( click, via)The ad agency press note:We've poisoned their food supply and destroyed their natural habitats. With flocks of birds falling out of the sky and whales beaching themselves on the shore, its like nature is giving us a sign; enough is enough. Show More Summary
