In Tokyo, the promotion of the new movie, "The Water Horse:The Legend of The Deep," has reach new heights. With a water screen, lighting, and water fountains, this amazing display was created. It has drawn quite a crowd, effectively making a strong impression on potential viewers minds through creative advertisement.
Perhaps, the most noticed television advertising comes once a year during the Super Bowl. This years Supel Bowl brought in 90 million viewers, making it the most watched Super Bowl in history and the second most watched event in U.S. history. Personally, I thought the advertising brought very few memorable commercials as some the countries largest companies sought to brand and market themselves to the entire country. Some presidential candidates only could afford to advertise in areas, as some reached the entire nation with their message. Who were the best and the worst. It seems that beer companies never let us down.
Bud Light has our vote for the best commercial with the fire-breathing suitor, tries to impress the girl. I think Doritos let me down the most with the young girls singing. Come on! It's the Super Bowl, entertain us!
