Pornhub's Rejected Super Bowl Commercial - 2013 (SFW)

Pornhub claims that this is their "rejected" super bowl commercial*. Which of course simply means that they posted this to various video sharing sites and then told 4chan, Reddit & all their fans, not that they actually ever attempted to buy air time for this. Just like PETA's "banned / rejected" Veggie Love ad of super bowl 2009 the rejection here is just a magic phrase that "makes ad go viral". It's like Beetlejuice, say it three times and it'll happen. Banned super bowl ad, banned super bowl ad, banned super bowl ad. See?

Introducing the Guardian and Observer Weekend™ (2013) 3:00 (UK)

BBH London and Tim Godsall of Biscuit Filmworks bring us "Own the Weekend" from the Guardian and Observer. A three minute long dead-pan, complete with an aging Hugh Grant very serious intro™, and several explosions declaring "owned".

Yes, since the weekend just isn't a weekend without the Saturday Guardian and the Observer, they've trademarked the weekend. They now own the weekend. The whole weekend. All 48 hours of it. Owned, guys. Owned.

In this ad, the hashtagged #ownedweekend word makes sense, because as with everything else, they are having a laugh. You can't mock silly marketing gimmicks without embracing the hell out of them.

“Whether you’re behind the wheel of a Lancer, RVR, or Outlander, when you get behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi, it changes you a little. Their cars are so well-built and their performance heritage is so strong, that you can’t help but feel more adventurous and more confident in one. ‘Must be the Mitsubishi’ sums up that feeling really well,” says Chris Hirsch, ACD and Sr. Writer at john st., Mitsubishi’s AOR.
