Major props to your roommate's agency then...very cool!

Can he get ahold of some higher quality QuickTime videos of the ads by chance?

Reserve the props until you find out what else they do: Saturn ads (blech!). I'll ask him about the QTs when he gets back in town and let you know.

"Kotex" always sounds really, really vile to my ears.

But that's probably related to the fact that "Kot" in German means "feces".

Are we talking print/digital/visual media for the ad campaign?

One of my favourite adds was this...

I don't like the car, but thought the add was pretty cheeky!

Oh, Also, just remembered an advert that was on TV a couple of months ago from Guinness.

I don't know if you remember the advert from 1998 with the people going surfing, and the horses - with the Leftfield - Phat Planet tune.

They re-released the advert for Extra Cold and the surfers don't get into the water as it's to cold
