Kitsch and surrealism make this public service tv commercial for Amnesty Interntional/Lisbon (Portugal) stand out.

Dave, the rapping flight attendant

Here's the rap on David Holmes. He has been a Southwest Airlines flight attendant for about six months now and he's got quite a following.

Then one day, David's rap went viral when a passenger who recorded his rap with her cell phone told him she was posting it on YouTube. "I said I dare you and two days later she did it and two days after that it was already 2000 hits at the time."

Now, David is a YouTube sensation and he's been doing the rap ever since, always to rave reviews. He says it may seem like it's all fun and games, but if his rap saves just one life because the passenger was paying attention to the emergency procedures, well, that's music to his ears.

De Lijn: Penguins and Fireflies

These colorful ads from Belgian ad agency Duval Guillaume, starring penguins and fireflies, respectively, are a lovely illustration of the social benefits of mass transit. Of course, buses would never be able to reach either locale featured in these tv commercials.

Reality: Air Freshener

Reality has started airing their latest ad. It’s called “Air Freshener” and it’s directed by Academy Award winners Joel and Ethan Coen.

The tv commercial directly calls out the coal industry on their ridiculous claims that coal is clean, as only the Coen brothers can.

Amazingly, there's no swearing or violent, gratuitous death in it.
