Guerilla Tennis art
‘Park, Set and Match’ is an incredibly creative, disruptive live art piece by Jorge Mañes. The guerrilla art installation is essentially an abuse of London’s supermarket parking garages (read: hell on earth) which he paints to turn into tennis courts, then holds real matches on them!
These privately owned properties are monitored by CCTV cameras and security guards; however, to legally occupy a parking space for two hours, you have to make some type of purchase (you could always stick to chewing gum.) Once your purchase is made, you can then set up your tennis match which will be automatically ‘televised’ by CCTV cameras. Really want to aggravate the security guards? Demand a copy of the tape: it is illegal for them not to give you one under h the creative commons act.

VIRAL SHOCK
This is a very random video called “J1zz In My Pants” that is spreading the internet like wildfire. It has had 2 million views in as many days, so is going to be huge. The video above shows the strange music video with ridiculous lyrics about men getting aroused too easily. The clip involves the glorious Andy Samberg but clearly had a less than small budget behind it, yet Justin Timberlake makes a brilliant cameo.
Not many details have been revealed yet, but I can tell you the song is the first single off Incredibad, the upcoming CD from Andy Samberg’s comedy posse, the Lonely Island.

Fanta High Frequency advertising
Fanta’s new mobile app, Stealth Sound System, uses a surefire way to target a specific market. The app is meant as a way for teens to communicate on their cell phones without adults hearing them, and the Stealth Sound System features high-pitched sound frequencies that are inaudible to most people over 20.
Fanta’s Stealth Sound System is based on a controversial technology known colloquially as Mosquito Teen Repellent, which was developed by Howard Stapleton a few years ago to deter teens from loitering outside London shops.
Within Stealth Sound System, individual frequencies are tagged to represent phrases, essentially creating a new language only teens can hear and understand. Stealth Sound System was developed by Ogilvy Advertising.
Prinz M Pinakat, interactive marketing manager for Coca-Cola Europe, said it was vital to grow relationships with consumers via the popular mobile channel. "This new focus on providing entertaining digital content also fits perfectly with the Fanta brand vision to create more play in the world," he added. (moconews.net)

Whopper Virgins
urger King’s ‘Whopper Virgins’ campaign is a taste-test between BK’s Whopper and McDonald’s Big Mac. It took place amongst people living in remote villages of Thailand and Romania, as well as outposts in Greenland; people who’ve never had either of those burgers cross their lips.
Controversy over Burger King’s ‘Whopper Virgins’ taste test ad/documentary, created by ad giant Crispin, Porter and Bogusky, can be found on YouTube, blogs, and even editorials. At issue is whether the people used as ‘Whopper Virgins’ test subjects are being exploited and/or made fun of.
As it stands now, it seems the Burger King powers that be simply are looking for unbiased, pure (virgin) taste-buds, when it comes determining taste preference of their BK Whopper versus the McDonald’s Big Mac.
Test results and full-footage from the Burger King ‘Whopper Virgins’ will be released in four days, according to the Burger King ‘Whopper Virgins’ website.

Urban Play - movin trees
“The Moving Forest are 100 trees strapped into 100 shopping-carts lurking around in an urban environment blocking peoples way and forcing passers to act on them. According to NL’s Gen Yamamoto the idea comes from a story he heard as a child about a forest where the trees move at night so that people would loose there way and could never get out. This story has been haunting him ever since. In his mind he could imagine people adopting a tree e.g. homeless could start to take one on their journey through the city. The trees would pop up unexpectedly in small side streets or dark corners or be pushed over a big public square. They would group in smaller groups or be sparkled over the town.”

Renault - Naughty Ads
Brazilian advertising agency Exclam Comunicao created a highly controversial print ad for Renault Logan in an effort to stress how roomy and spacious the car is. The tag line for the ad reads, “Isn’t it awful when things get crowded together? Renault Logan, the roomiest car in its category.”
To prove their point, the agency created three web addresses that are supposed to be deceiving because they are crowded together, unlike the roomy Renault.
The sexually-charged web addresses are:
PenisIsland.com, which is supposed to say, “Pen Island;” PowerGenitalia.com, which is supposed to read “Power, Gen Italia” and KidSexChange.com, which is supposed to be read as “Kids Exchange.”
This is some messed up print campaign. but EFFECTIVE seen @trendhunter

Burger King Wallet Guerrilla
"Burger King’s latest guerrilla marketing campaign involves a cash-stuffed wallet that is meant to reward Good Samaritans. Agents were sent out in Chicago and Orlando to intentionally drop their wallets in a public place.
Inevitably, these wallets are picked up by a stranger. Upon opening the wallet, they see a note from Burger King that says, “Don’t worry about lost & found. The King wants you to keep this wallet and everything in it.”
The Burger King wallets contain real cash in amounts that range from $1-$100, a Burger King gift card, a map of area Burger King fast food restaurants, and a mock driver’s license that features the King." from trendhunter
BOOM BENCH
"German designer Michael Schoner has ingeniously designed a bench that plays music from mobile phones via Bluetooth. NL architects have converted an ordinary piece of street furniture into a superb sound system. The Boom bench comes equipped with 60-watt co-axial speakers and two subwoofers, which the passers-by can access with their Bluetooth enabled phones. Once you connect your player to the amplifier, you are the next DJ. The integrated Bass Shaker in the seat converts the sounds into vibrations that add to the magic of your tunes. So, you don’t need to carry your own ghetto blasters. With the Boom Bench, the furniture becomes ghetto blaster and passer-by becomes DJ." seen@bornrich

Monthy Phython - Youtube Channel
Monthy Phython is now starting his/their own youtube channel. thats why:
"For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It’s time for us to take matters into our own hands. We know who you are, we know where you live and we could come after you in ways too horrible to tell. But being the extraordinarily nice chaps we are, we’ve figured a better way to get our own back: We’ve launched our own Monty Python channel on YouTube. No more of those crap quality videos you’ve been posting. We’re giving you the real thing - HQ videos delivered straight from our vault. What’s more, we’re taking our most viewed clips and uploading brand new HQ versions. And what’s even more, we’re letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there! But we want something in return. None of your driveling, mindless comments. Instead, we want you to click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years."

Recessison Rebranding
Recessison.com aims to shoo the evil word ‘recession’ away, rename it to ‘Recess is On,’ and continue on with life.
RecessIsOn.com aims to rid us of our materialistic ways and look back to a time where the amount of cash in our bank account wasn’t directly correlated with the level of happiness we felt. While this view is a bit too Pollyanna for those who are accustomed to fine living, this return to true happiness is refreshing.
