In one of the cleverer advertisements we've seen of late, Leica is proposing that you "see it in more detail" with their D-Lux 3 by placing a pixelated dog in various real world scenes. It's a strangely effective technique, but we can't believe that someone would be so cruel to do that to a dog. Shame on you, Leica. Bad! Bad! Seriously though, from what other shots reveal, the assembly process took hours of precise supergluing: By the ad firm Philipp und Keuntje. [ cominucadores via Core77 ] ...

Progressive linguist and author George Lakoff would likely grin at the sight of the latest advertisement for John McCain, since it makes precisely the same tactical mistake he's been cautioning Democrats not to make for the past half-decade. The advertisement begins with four shots that include the phrases, "A Reliance on Oil," "A Threat To our Climate," "A Threat to Our Economy," and "A Threat To Our Security," fully activating four frames favorable to Democrats and reminding viewers of how the past eight years of bad policies either led to or exacerbated these vulnerabilities. By the time John McCain appears in the ad - fourteen second in - his presence seems out of joint with the message that's already been established. Then, of course, McCain begins his litany of promises - pausing only momentarily to shoehorn "End The Moratorium On Offshore Drilling" into the mix. That moment occurs forty-five seconds in and is gone just as quickly as it came, as if the advertisement itself has become self-aware and capable of shame. ...

Ugh. The first seven second of John McCain's new campaign ad, "Global," are a nightmare . Blaring techno of the idiot variety, weaving in car horns...it's a frightful din that immediately engages your body's autonomic fight-or-flight-or-find-the-mute-button-and-break-it-off response. This is the sort of ad TiVo was built to avoid. Should you end up watching it, of course, you'll hear McCain talk about the environment, how he "sounded the alarm on global warming five years ago" (which is what... three years after everyone else did?), and about how he has a plan to fight it - a plan so secret and awesome that McCain himself cannot make any sense out of it . The environment, of course, is one of the two, or two-and-a-half, issues that McCain keeps insisting that he has major differences with President Bush, going so far as to say he "stood up to the President" on this issue. One has to wonder...does it really count as standing up to Bush if Bush shows no sign of acknowledging that it happened? I imagine their conversation goes a little like this: McCAIN: Sorry I had to stand up to you on the environment. BUSH: Stand up to me? When did that happen exactly. McCAIN: Five years ago! You were saying some stuff on the environment and I was totally like: "Rah!" BUSH: What's an "environment?" Anyway, watch McCain bliss out on the planet Earth in his new terrible ad, below. ...

"Only a fool or a fraud talks tough or romantically about war," says John McCain at the top of his latest spot "Safe," right before he spends the next twenty-four seconds talking romantically, tough, foolishly and fraudulently about the war in Iraq. You see it's come down to this: John McCain needs to assure you, the American people, that he is aware that war has something of a downside . And McCain remembers that downside, in no particular chronological order: his father went to war; he, himself, went to war and crashed planes and got captured; his grandfather made it home safe from the war but died the next day - because all your peace and your treaties and your diplomacy ain't gonna safe you, dude, from the icy grip of death! Anyway, some of McCain's friends never made it back from the war, and neither will many of you. But while names etched on the side of a monument might serve as a silent indictment of the bad judgement and moral failures of American leaders, until those dead names figure out a way to vote, they can suck it, as far as McCain's concerned.

This ad is part of an effort on McCain’s part to distance himself from George W. Bush.
