January 24, 2017 by Yein Jee

Hollywood stars Gal Gadot and Jason Statham work together in a Super Bowl commercial for Wix, a popular website builder and hosting platform. Cool video, but has little to do with the business…

June 12, 2013 by Yein Jee

Beautiful picture of American actress Olivia Wilde in wedding dress. It’s an advertisement for beauty and cosmetics company Avon, for its Today, Tomorrow, Always perfume collection.

I know about Olivia from television medical drama House, loved the show but not particular fond (or dislike) of her role. She’s attractive though, with mesmerising eyes and a great smile.

Jennifer Connelly – Clean Water Africa PSA

April 11, 2008 by Yein Jee

American actress Jennifer Connelly in a public service ad for charity: water. The video depicts a scenario when New York City’s taps went dry, and people have to get/use dirty water like millions of Africans.

There are many flaws in the scenario but it’s a PSA so I’ll just leave it there. It’s the big picture that matters.

Founded in 2006, charity: water is a non-profit organisation that provides clean drinking water to people in developing nations. In many (dry) areas, underground water are so deep that people can’t access it with primitive tools. They need machinery to make drilled wells, and that’s what the organisation can help.

Getting the water is just part one, and AFAIK it’s the end of their effort. Underground water pollution is becoming worse, what appears clean may not be harmless; and developing countries usually sucks in controlling pollution. Besides, groundwater is not limitless, it will run dry in a few decades or sooner.

I still salute their effort though, they are going to help some people even if it’s for short-term. Solving water crisis requires monumental effort, and governmental collaboration is essential in many situations.

The root cause to many “shortage” problems are overpopulation and uncontrolled urbanisation. Enforced birth control are in conflict with basic human rights (unfortunately); and hence the best way to do it is through education, which is yet another huge problem in many areas. It’s a bad cycle really.

Adriana Lima – Victoria’s Secret Super Bowl commercial

January 28, 2008 by Yein Jee

Check out this Super Bowl ad starring Brazilian model Adriana Lima. It’s a new American commercial for Victoria’s Secret, a premium lingerie and women’s fashion brand.

Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) in the United States. It’s one of the most watched club sporting events in the world, but the viewers are mostly Americans. The Super Bowl ads have also become pop culture shows which create plenty of talks.

The 2008 Super Bowl will be played on Sunday (February 3) but this video has gone viral before the real game begins, and it’s going to be an even hotter topic after that. It’s the brand’s first Super Bowl ad since 1999, their marketing team scores big on this one.
