      For the advert for Unum's Income Protection product ie The Backup Plan, juggler and comedian Mat Ricardo, pulls out a table cloth from underneath a laid kitchen table and then, remarkably, pulls the table cloth back on.

      But is it fake?

      Is this the place where Twitter will start some new advertising?

      It's just an advert for the mobile app for now, but who knows if they will use this area in the future for paid-for adverts.

      Dear Nintendo People

      Dear Nintendo People,

      In your recent TV advert you say that your new Super Mario game is the game that "Everyone" has been waiting for. I may have been in a alcohol induced haze at the time, which is certainly not out of the realms of possibility, but I don't remember you calling me up to ask me. If you had, then I would have told you that, surprisingly, I haven't been waiting for this game to come out at all. Therefore, if you have asked the opinion of the other 6.8 billion people on the planet, could you please change your advert to clearly state that this is the game that Everyone apart from Rob Horan has been waiting for.

      Yours,

      Rob Horan

      This still makes me laugh and is still one of Lynx's finest, in my opinion.

      Notouch

      And now a rant.

      I work in advertising and what we try to do is either create product or brand differentiation or create perceived value. Sometimes we do this by educating consumers as to how a certain product will make them feel a better person or by showing consumers how the product will improve their lives.

      The Apple iPad is a great device. Where others have tried and failed to produce a tablet PC in the past Apple, through their ability to create innovative products and services have excelled.

      Nokia-n95
      I’ve always liked Nokia, from my first Nokia 3310, through to my first Symbian experience with the 6600 right up to my brilliant N95. In fact, I kept hold of my N95 till long after the iPhone was released because I felt an attachment to the N95 phone and didn’t really think that it could be bettered all that much.
