Red eye - gone in 60 seconds.




Motorcycle riders in Jakarta, Indonesia, often suffer from eye irritation (red eye) caused by pollution on the road, so when Visine wants to advertise its product, a clever ad agency "modded" a red light that has a 60 seconds countdown timer, to show how fast the eye drop works.

"In September of 2008 we carved grooves into a quarter mile stretch of asphalt on the outskirts of Lancaster, CA. The goal was to create an experience that embodied the connection Civic drivers feel with the road. Did it work? Howd we do it? What was the song? Watch and learn. "

“Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil.”

A Book on Dating -Written by a 9-year-old!

Fourth grader Alec Greven wrote a pamphlet called “How to Talk to Girls” which became a best seller at his school book fair in Castle Rock, Colorado. The 46-page book has now been picked up by publisher Harper Collins. Some tidbits:

“It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry,” he writes in Chapter Three.

“Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil.”

He advises, “The best choice for most boys is a regular girl. Remember, some pretty girls are coldhearted when it comes to boys. Don’t let them get to you.”

He believes the best way to approach a girl is to keep it to a simple “hi.”

“If I say hi and you say hi back, we’re probably off to a good start,” he said.

As for his own love life, he said he is not dating anyone at the moment. “I’m a little too young,” he confessed.
