| Is comedy appropriate after the emissions scandal? By Tim Nudd Among the film entries doing well at this spring's ad award shows is this stupidly hilarious Volkswagen Tiguan ad from Germany, in which a guy tries to reverse his horse trailer into a parking spot--very poorly, much to the raucous amusement of the horses watching nearby. The spot, by Grabarz & Partner in Hamburg, picked... Read more » |

| Don't forget your sunscreen By Angela Natividad In our most recent episode of World in Crisis (not a real thing, just the reality show we live in), the American administration opted to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement--something that's ironically been good for getting people to talk about the state of the planet, and even take action.

Our story begins with a father and son driving across a desolate lunar-type landscape to attend a mysterious gathering in the middle of nowhere. Slowly, majestically, planet Earth peeks above the horizon, its deep, dramatic... Read more » |

| But even snowflakes are all white By Gabriel Beltrone Shopping with eBay doesn't just get you an item shipped in a cardboard box. It gets you an item shipped in a cardboard box sealed with colorful tape. A new 60-second ad for the site makes a plea to individualism, featuring a range of consumers--black and white, male and female, young and old--pursuing a variety... Read more » |
