Daniel McKeague, 36, a father of three from Hugo, Minn., beat out 12,500 other contestants to replace actor Gilbert Gottfried and become the new voice of the reinsurance company’s duck mascot. Aflac Chief Marketing Officer Michael Zuna says the company and its longtime advertising agency, The Kaplan Thaler Group, first winnowed the contestants to a short list of about 50, which they cut to 8 and finally to 3 — none of them celebrities.

I think it’s great that Taco Bell didn’t cower with the threat of a lawsuit regarding the quality of their beef. Instead, they fought back and defended their company and their food. Fast food is under attack in this country. Just look here, and here, and here. Taco Bell is one of the few that has the guts to fight back.

Here is a well-executed print campaign for LEGO. These four ads beautifully convey the power of a child’s imagination. Will all of the technology and gadgets we have today, none of them can compare to what the mind can create. I hope we never lose toys like LEGO.

I think we have come a long way in terms of gender equality in the U.S. If you want some proof of that, take a looksie at the sexism in these vintage advertisments. (via)
