It's not often that advertisements turn out to be fascinating. It's just a hazard of marketing that they tend to need to have certain qualities which make them generic rather than beautiful. This time, however, the film From love to Bingo in 873 images made by the firm AlmapBBDO for Getty Images manages to transcend all that. Using a mere 873 images found in the company's stock photo database alone, the film shows a lifetime of experiences. If more commercials were like this, maybe the DVR wouldn't function as the Skip Advertisements Machine every single time.

Most beer commercials these days focus on the pure water and exotic ingredients that go into their brews, and as a beer snob I can appreciate that. But few beer makers could possibly match what allegedly goes into each bottle of Hahn. Kung-fu movies, beer-filled fiberglass pumas, and jacked-up DeLoreans are, apparently, used to infuse the beer with an essence of badassitude unparalleled by any other. I'd never heard of this beer until today, and odds are its probably mediocre, but I'll be searching for it tonight. (via Reddit)

The Droid X: So...it's like Lost, Terminator, and that one bit in A Clockwork Orange when Alex first volunteers for the Ludovico treatment, all in fifteen seconds. At least, that's what the teaser uploaded by Verizon Wireless on its YouTube channel--part of a longer advertisement (its script leaked by DroidLife a week ago)--seems to suggest. It is inevitable that we will all turn into droids! The video also confirms the new Droid handset will debut in July. More details are likely to emerge at the Verizon and Motorola press conference on Wednesday. Hit the jump and let the teaser carry you until then.
