Wall Street Journal Best & Worst Ads of 2006

5 Ads make the list of the best and 5 make the worst

Best 5:
Career Builder Monkeys is one of the ones but so is
Apple!!


Client: who elsee Apple Computer, Inc.
Agency: Omnicom Group's TBWA/ Chiat/ Day

Mac man is played by Justin Long (star of movie Accepted). The ads are said to be clever, funny and "handy " (he can communicate with all sortss of different people, and knows how tocome with pictures and music.
The PC people are modeled after Daily Show comedian John Hodgman (who is decidely less hip, and is always amazed humbled or befuddled by Mac's never ending range of abilities.

Feedback: Other commercials poke fun at other products that it goes up against. However " Apple's knife cuts deep, but by the time rivals feel it, they have already started to bleed."

Ouch. If only PC users really listened to the ads or do they?

Worst includeds the Outback Steakhouse ad in which the guys bites a head off a shrimp and says "Good Night, Sir."

(duhhhhhhh?????)
