New PS3 slim Japanese commercials are bizarre, the usual

Sony is known for making such crazy and strange commericals for their Playstation products.  Who can forget one of the original PS3 commercials that featured the scary crying baby doll?  Now the marketing team has done it again for the new PS3 slim.  Check it out above.

Blow your light on and off

The Blow On Blow Off light switch does just the trick for all you lazy folk.  A single breath of air directly in the switch will turn the light on and off, no worries!  Think of it like The Clapper, only it’s your breath not your hands doing the work.  It doubles as an ordinary, finger-flicking light switch as well.  If only Billy Mays was around to promote this; rest in peace, buddy.  Check out an image of the product after the break.

First official look at the new LG Chocolate [Updated]

lg-bl40-800-num-3

Here are the first official press shots of the new LG Chocolate cell phone (BL40).  This is no tease.  LG’s latest Black Label device and will soon find a home on a network (Verizon, please!).  Although there is no word on official price or release date yet, at least now we have some scrumptious images to glaze over.  From the looks of it, the new Chocolate will continue the path to success that its former brethren have reached.

Update: LG has released the first advertisement of the BL40.  Granted, it is a commercial for the Japanese market, but it still shows off some of the phones features and the sleek user interface in action.  There’s dual screen UI, panoramic entertainment, and look, there’s even copy and paste.  Sweet.

“Present an idea which promotes HP Workstations ability to bring to life anything the creative mind can conceive.”  Filmed, edited and directed by Matt Robinson and Tom Wrigglesworth.

Henson's Wilkins Coffee (Beware!)

All the way back in 1957, Washington DC offered Jim Henson a deal to create television commercial shorts for Wilkins Coffee.  The local stations could only handle ten seconds worth of ads, so Henson was forced to work with seven seconds for the action, three seconds to show the actual product.  Henson used his muppets characters to produce the commercials.  What makes these ads so funny is the sheer violence it exudes.  There’s the cheerful Wilkins and the angry Watkins.  Wilkins simply does not want to have any Wilkins Coffee, and Watkins won’t take any of it.  The video above contains a number of the inital spots.  Look after the break (click “more…”) to see a second video with more spots.  Watch, laugh, and enjoy.
