Kinda cute


Years ago when I was working in London we did some of the very first internet page take over ads.

We thought what we were doing was pretty amazing.

So did a lot of other people.

Not anymore.

These days page take overs are a total pain in the arse.

And they annoy me everytime one of them interupts my web experience.

I am however prepared to make an exception for the YouTube take over by the movie Despicable Me.

It's a lotta fun. And quite ingenius.

Pardon me, Stan...That was just a momentary bug...I have seen it and liked it. Cool one, Stan. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I am glad that you have wised up to the idea of them being a pain. I cannot stand page overs!

Thanks for sharing Stan. This is indeed an example of excellent use of modern media. For far too long brands have been using YouTube for standard run-of-the-mill promotional videos.

I also recommend this ad by Tipp-Ex, for similar and excellent creativity.
