I blog and photoshop at lecraic.com on topics with an Irish flavour.
A catholic church in the Dublin parish of Howth is offering a Mass for Osama Bin Laden (recently deceased) on Thursday 12th May. h/t @EmmaTheMilf on Twitter. Better get there early, or it will be standing room only.
These 2 young guys from Ireland have been the Number 1 trend on Twitter for hours now. They appear as Jedward (John and Edward) to much puzzlement from anyone not in the UK or Ireland watching the X Factor. Universally hated and adored in equal measure, they hit a peak on the latest show by giving the world this classic reality TV moment with their version of Ghostbusters.
Today is the 250th Anniversary of the establishment of the Guinness brewery in Dublin. Many people in Ireland and other countries worldwide raised a glass to Arthur Guinness at exactly 17:59 in probably the biggest marketing campaign the drink's distributor has ever undertaken. One Irish web developer raised a glass to Arthur in a really cool Photoshoppy way. Guinness - gets the creative juices flowing.
A cafe on the outskirts of Dublin City, Ireland has a strict dress code. Nothing too taxing mind you. The sign reads : "All customers must be wearing appropriate clothing. NO PYJAMAS. For those scratching their heads thinking WTF ? There is a phenomenon in certain parts of Dublin for women to go out wearing their pyjamas. No, I don't understand it either. Funny old world isn't it?
This will bring a smile to your face. Guy stands outside a supermarket and gives compliments to complete strangers. Best compliment of the lot has to be the "I like your knees" one - and the guy walks on and looks down at his knees :)
The mission? Create an advertisement for a retouching studio based in Canada. The company (Orange Apple) provides "creative imagery for the photographic and advertising industry." The result? Guy gets eye boner looking at computer screen. Everyone else just goes ewwww, that's gross.
This is EXACTLY how I imagine Mario would be in real life - a foul mouthed, ill tempered person of a certain European Country which shall not be named. He's my hero!
Just the sort of ad you would expect on Japanese TV, expect it's not on Japanese TV.
See what happens when you take your child to visit farm animals? It all ends in tears - maybe not on the day - but boys kissing pigs always ends in tears.
Paris based advertising agency Ogilvy and Mather have done an amazing job for Mattel in creating a trio of advertisements for the "love it or hate it" board game of Scrabble. This, my BuzzFeed brothers and sisters, is what I call an ad apart. Sit back and enjoy!
