This could be an ad, but it isn't, it's just a funny video. I think anybody who has a GPS or knows someone who has, will relate to this.

Designer João Machado has created, for CTT (Portuguese postal service), the first cork stamp in the World. It is said to be almost sold out and there are no plans for a second edition of the stamp. The tree depicted is a sobreiro (I'm not sure how you call it in English, in Latin it's Quercus suber), basically it's tree from witch you take out the cork. Portugal is the world's biggest cork producer. Via: ptFOLIO

Don't know anything about this ad, don't even know if its new or not, but the animation is quite good.

I am lost for words to describe the beauty of these books. I don't know if they are actual pages of the book that are cut, or if it's made with collage. Anyway, they're amazing! You can read some information about the artist on Wikipedia . Via: swissmiss / xblog

Just found this one on the "blogs" section of Ads of the World. This is one of my favorites that I have recently seen. Tiempo BBDO made this 3 minute long animation with a killer soundtrack.

Better than any advert, here's a truly inspiring story about a woman (writer) who left everything, got on her Vespa and crossed the country to finally stop in Wyoming where she now lives with her cat and coyote who she adopted when he was 10 days old after is parents died.

A severed arm was left in front of major theaters to promote the release of Tarantino's "Death Proof" on DVD. I'm sure it isn't to everybody's taste, however it must of caused quite an impact. Would you pick one up from the street? We might see them for sale on eBay. Via: Invisible Red
