Violent Neo Sports bleeding toe cricket ad
With so much focus on bomb blasts and violence these days in India it is sad to see violent cricket encounter ads have begun propping up again on Neo Sports.
Neo Sports a cricket channel is too famous for glamorizing violence in its cricket ads have started airing the crushed toe ads for the upcoming India vs Australia 2008 October/November Test series :
Thanks to Cribb.in who posted this graphic image of the same and condemns their act.
The previous ad of India vs Australia series was much better with humor added to it. I feel to my heart that such ad "Hum Honge Kamyab" (we will Overcome Some Day) is what India needs during these troubled terrorist attacks and not something that brings back the bloodbath witnessed in recent incidents.
Here is the cricket ad (Hum Honge Kamyab) Neo Sports video:

Britain's first ever Live commercial aired by Channel 4
Live commercials as name suggests are advertisements shown live on channels and companies usually don't prefer live commercials because of their higher cost in comparison to filmed or taped spots. Britain is not used to live commercials where as US performed a relatively few easy commercial in recent years. Guardian proudly announces the live feat done for Honda ad as first ever live commercial of Britain on their website.
Its just a spectacular live ad that was completed without any hitches in 3 minutes of time - Channel 4 aired this live ad that took place in Spain skies on May 30 2008. The videos are here in MP4, flash and IPod format.
NBC is popular in US for these live ads. NBC plans investing into live commercials during late-night, but claims that it won’t happen a lot. In 2007 NBC has teamed up with Garmin International to air a live commercial during Tuesday’s broadcast of The Tonight Show. Details can be found here

Microsoft gives cashback upto 22% from livesearch purchases
To compete with Google in ad space Microsoft unveiled its plan to give users who buy from livesearch links the advertised cashbacks. First thing is to set up your free cashback account using your email address. Buy the products from the stores listed through live search link. Microsoft pays you advertised % off to your cashback account.
I feel for deal mongers instead of coupon clippings and searching through deal sites for deals, Microsoft is making the job easier by combining the power of "Price Grabber" comparison with discounts shown right away. At least this is much better than Mail In Rebates (MIR) or online coupon codes. MIR is pain and needs discipline and patience to get back the checks. Online coupon codes gets expired from time to time and finding them is a challenge. The only doubt is that if all merchants will participate in this and can give good cashback percent to the consumers.
Also there are so many deal opportunities for instance find a good deal from sites like slickdeals or FatWallet or Deals2Buy and then use livesearch link to knock off few more dollars on your buy making the deal much more sweeter.
Here are listed top merchants and % of cashback you can get :
I've tried "Wii Fit" and market price for this item is $89.99, Any deal thats better than the listed price is deal worthy.
-> Go to this link
-> Search for item (say) WII FIT
Here is what search results and cash back is $1.70.

E-Trade Superbowl 2008 baby ads -- Quite entertaining with brand rebuilding
I have TD Ameritrade brokerage account for stocks and have no idea how E-Trade is compared (with transaction commissions or research tools) to TD Ameritrade. Last time I went in and punched E-Trade stock symbol for stock price check was when it was in bankruptcy news. Rumor was started by Citi Investment Research analyst Prashant Bhatia who published that E-Trade “Bankruptcy risk cannot be ruled out.”
I think E-Trade did respond back very strongly with their Superbowl ads to build the brand image again. They chose babies ad theme sending in clear message that it easy to work with online E-Trade account.
I some how feel their stock will go up for few days with this effect and is a good bet for day traders.
I liked 1st ad more than the second one.
Here are the ETrade Superbowl 2008 ads :

Worst superbowl 2007 ad Salesgenie contests again for 2008 dull ad award
Update : Salesgenie.com 2008 superbowl ads featuring
1) "Ramesh Chakrapani" sales person.
2) Pandas
Remember salesgenie.com ? Two clues First Telemarketing and Second un forgetful 2007 superbowl ads.
I recently moved to AT&T service after Sunrocket's VOIP phone service went out of business. The phone number that we got from AT&t is a recycled number (used by some one previously and phone companies since running out of numbers gives the same number to new customers). The recycled number seems to be of some one by name "Pamela" and we ended up receiving all her telemarketing and personal calls. AT&T cannot help us in this case and they asked us to get the new number and they do not guarantee if that is not a recycled one.
All other options I followed like putting the number in "DONOTCALL" list and unlisting the number from AT&T but none seems to work out. In the process of my research I found salesgenie which sells this kind of information to sales people and Salesgenie claims that it is up to buyers of these leads to verify in DONOTCALL list. If you are still getting telemarketing calls after listing in DOnOtCall list then SalesGenie might be the reason.
Salesgenie got so famous last year for featuring a 30-second Superbowl ad which the blogs and media declared the ad as most boring and un professional. This made them so popular last year.
Here is the ad for you to enjoy one more time :
Salesgenie is coming again with their new ad this year 2008 that features a sales guy by name Ramesh who was on verge of getting fired gets sales genie and he becomes salesman of the year. I wish i can steal that salesgenie and save all of us from those disturbing telemarketing calls.
