By Cindy Casares at 1:00 PM.
Isn’t this the way all Brazilian advertising should be? No towers were harmed in the making of this açai juice spot for Do Bem. Instead it uses some very cool stop motion animation and the song “Carrpicho,” remixed by João Brasil Tecnobrega to make a pretty cool piece.

Dos Equis sales have climbed a full 26% percent amid a global recession that’s eating up the competition, and it’s all because of a gravel-throated bearded man who can do anything in the world with style, panache, and muted wit. The planet Earth belongs to The Most Interesting Man in the World, and nobody seems to even notice that Dos Equis tastes like the bar rag in a San Juan bowling alley. What gives?

By Cindy Casares at 11:47 AM.
Burger King is revising an ad campaign running in Europe for their new Texican Whopper which combines the stereotypes of Texas (cowboy, beefy, big) with the stereotypes of Mexico (kitschy, spicy, small.)
