"TBWA\London has launched its latest Nissan campaignm, Hoybot. The 60” film will play out in cinemas before screenings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, released today.

Man or Machine?


Nissan has long been at the forefront of technology and excitement. But could Sir Chris Hoy, Nissan’s very own racer, actually be a product of such incredible innovation?

Automotive ad of the day. The new Porsche 911. TV Commercial – “Compete”


Greatness comes from within. From pitting you against you. Onto the greatest version of you. 
Through the magic of film, we get to see what would happen if Muhammad Ali stepped in the ring against himself. If Maria Sharapova faced off against herself. And if Magnus Carlsen sat across a board from himself. All to help tell the story of a new 911 being born.

Weird ad of the day. This Unicorn Changed the Way I Poop - #SquattyPotty


Buy at http://squattypotty.com - Pooping will never be the same. This Unicorn shows the effects of improper toilet posture and how it can affect your health. The Squatty Potty toilet stool has been featured on Shark Tank and Dr OZ show and has thousands of happy customers.

Press Contact - Bobby Edwards - bobby@Squattypotty.com

The modern day toilet is convenient, but has one major fault; it requires us to sit. While sitting to do our business may be considered “civilized”, studies show the natural squat position improves our ability to eliminate.

Using a Squatty Potty toilet stool can help with straining issues such as hemorrhoids, pelvic organ prolapse, constipation, bloating and IBS. A great, healthy solution. Learn more at www.squattypotty.com

Video of the day. People of Nowhere

People of Nowhere from Lior Sperandeo on Vimeo.
I have heard and read different opinions about the wave of Syrian refugees who try to make their way in to the EU. Then I went to Lesvos. 7 days on the Greek Island gave me a healthier, human perspective on the situation.
Seeing the people behind the headlines with my own eyes, and feeling their deep struggle, broke my heart.
Are they the “threat” people talk about? All I saw were courageous people in a time of crisis, looking for hope.
I also got to meet brave volunteers from all over the world who reach out to help all people regardless of their religion, race or background. That inspired me.
My hope is that this video might tear down some of the walls of bad ideas and opinions we have built around ourselves.
