Alfa Romeo: car sale
This billboard is a part of the sales promotion campaign of Alfa Romeo during the Brussels car fair. They’ve converted 50 bus stop shelters all around Belgium into walls on which people could put their car for sale. Because the new Alfa Romeo’s are so cheap they figured people would be wanting to sell their cars. The only risk involved with a campaign like this one is people putting their own Alfa Romeo’s for sale.
Bubble Wrap Ad Brings Fresh Air To The City
The Swiss mountain resort Braunwald is a car-free environment. Agency Wirz BBDO has produced a series of urban-based billboards, promoting the resort. The ads are lined with mountain air-filled bubble wrap, encouraging city-dwellers to pop the bubbles and breathe it in.

Keeping Actors Young Forever Using “Avatar” Technology
Entertainment Weekly’s Popwatch blog has highlighted an interesting idea – what if the technology used in the movie “Avatar” could help keep actors “young forever”? Director James Cameron explains that the scanning process is so detailed that current scans of actors could be used indefinitely:
In a way, Cameron has already pulled off this trick: Sigourney Weaver appears to drop 20 years whenever she slips her consciousness into an alien body in Avatar. But Cameron’s facial scanning process is so precise—zeroing in to the very pores of an actor’s skin—that virtually any manipulation is possible. You may not be able to totally replace an actor—“There’s no way to scan what’s underneath the surface to what the actor is feeling,” the director notes—but it is now theoretically possible to extend careers by digitally keeping stars young pretty much forever. “If Tom Cruise left instructions for his estate that it was okay to use his likeness in Mission Impossible movies for the next 500 years, I would say that would be fine,” says Cameron.
