Ozzy Osbourne, waxing lyrical...

This is pretty fun... Ozzy Osbourne pretending to be a waxwork in Madame Tussauds, and scaring passing visitors... and yet I bet the whole thing took about a day from conception to filming. But that's fine, it's what makes it real and fun...

Work, work, work... but what's my motivation?

I like thinking about work. Not in the 'spend all weekend fretting about shit' way, though... despite the fact that lots of great ideas pop into your head when you're not working at all, and that's generally at weekends. No, the work I like thinking about is the way we as a culture work nowadays, and why it's kinda fucked up; the office culture, the military style top-down leadership, motivations, commuting & the stress on transport systems, 9-6pm, overtime, etc etc etc. I believe a lot of the way we work has been left in place from out-of-date theories of work (which I touched before on here and there). Yet I hadn't heard of Dan Pink until I saw this (via Iain). He's written a series of four books on changing the way we work, and to promote the latest, Drive, he was at the RSA explaining a really interesting thing about motivation in the work place, and how a lot of companies have got it wrong...

...part of which the RSA have turned into one of their brilliant 'animate' series:

Interesting, huh? That's another book to add to the list for the commute then...

Tide to Go cleans up your lovely gray sweatpants for a night out

I live in New Jersey, so the idea of going out for a night on the town in sweatpants isn't all that exotic. Yet in this ad for instant stain remover Tide to Go, agency Saatchi & Saatchi mines the concept for comic possibilities with some success. Two guys (one a dead ringer for Eric Bana) dressed up for some clubbing give their friend some grief over his sartorial choice. But in a move that offers encouragement to slovenly guys everywhere, Sweatpants Man stands his ground, insisting they're "sweatslacks." He does, however, concede that an unsightly stain on the pants is egregious, leading to a showcase of the product (which appears to have magical properties). I take issue, however, with the tagline, "Style is an option. Clean is not." Isn't it better to wear a stained suit than a clean pair of sweats? Outside of Jersey, I mean?

Stanley Steemer guys zealously devoted to cleaning your carpet

Stanley Steemer guys zealously devoted to cleaning your carpet: "

Carpet cleaning is like, well, a rescue attempt. In these new spots by Young & Laramore, a pair of Stanley Steemer technicians embark on carpet-saving missions. In one ad, the tall, skinny and more outspoken of the two men laments that he has arrived just a bit too late. "Why? I could have saved this one. I could have saved this one," he sniffs upon seeing a carpet that's been rolled up for trash. Check out four more spots after the jump. In one of them, the guys rush to save a living room that's been flooded by a smashed fish tank. (The culprit is a little boy and his wooden bat.) Upon arriving, the men discover a blue carpet that's soaked all the way through and numerous kois and platys floating around in makeshift mini tanks. How's that for an emergency call?—Posted by Elaine Wong

Kraft Lunchables tricks kids into thinking they're seeing aliens

Kraft Lunchables tricks kids into thinking they're seeing aliens:

"Sometimes I get the feeling that marketers try a little too hard to get their brands to stick in consumers' minds. But maybe that's not such a bad thing when its for a good cause. Take this commercial for Kraft's Lunachables, now airing in theaters nationwide. Actually, I'm tempted to call the three-minute spot, dubbed 'Alien Field Trip,' a short film because of its content and message. It shows children on a trip to a space museum being introduced to 'real' aliens (the space kind—this isn't a John McCain re-election ad), and the awe, curiosity, and excitement the experience evokes. The kids interact with the mysterious creatures until it's revealed that they're actually not real aliens, and that this is a commercial for Lunchables. The point of the ad, created by agency The Escape Pod, Chicago, is to highlight the benefits of school fields trips and the positive effect they have on children. As part of the effort, Kraft is giving away 50 field trips to schools in need. It doesn't appear that real aliens will be involved, but the spot is sure to get the message across to moviegoers.
