Karina Smirnoff PETA ad commercial photo pic

Karina Smirnoff bares all in a new PETA ad. PETA has made Karina Smirnoff of Dancing With the Stars fame another victim and made her strip down for its latest celebrity ad. The 31-year-old Russian beauty, who has just called off her engagement to Maksim Chmerkovskiy becomes a reformed fur wearer here.

Wasn’t she following following in the naked footsteps of another DWTS alum, Steve-O.  Smirnoff says: “You have a choice as an individual … whether to make a statement that you do support killing animals or make a statement when you don’t. And you can still be as chic as you can possibly want to be.”

Coca Cola is getting nostalgic this year and bringing in Steelers star Tony Polamalu for its Coke Zero Superbowl commercial, which is dedicated to the iconic 1980 Coca Cola commercial, starred by Mean Joe Greene. However, the 2009, Coca Cola super bowl ad with Polamalu is just not a remake of the old one, instead it comes with a twist.

In the 30-second spot, Polamalu reprises the role made famous by Steelers legend “Mean” Joe Greene. In tune with times, however, there comes a twist in the script and he plays it differently. It seems the original man of the older one, Joe Greene also would like the twist.

The ad opens with Polamalu similar to Joe Greene limping down a tunnel (this time it is bigger) to the locker room, while he was being followed by an innocent looking young fan (saying same dialogues) and offered an ice-cold Coke Zero to his tattered hero. That’s where all the similarities come to an end with the “Mean Joe” commercial.

What happens next is some humorous stuff while the ad reinforces the fact that with Coke Zero, it’s possible to have “Real Coke Taste and Zero Calories” Coca-Cola said. That’s the premise I suppose.

Monster.com, the career portal is back in the 43rd Super Bowl commercial after four long years. In 2004, the ad price was approximately $2 million for 30 a second spot, this year, despite an economic slowdown, Monster will be paying around $3 million for a half minute spot.

It’s imperative to note that when there are approximately 11.1 million unemployed people in America and when the unemployment rate is touching a 16 year high, Monster strives to go all out with its appeal to the jobseekers.

As per Monster Worldwide, the parent company of the group has decided to uses a dash of humor in the commercial. The advertising and publicity wing of Monster group believes that even in cheerless economy people want humor.

In one television commercial, a construction worker is shown tense (in a close up shot), clings to a beam; he was crying and whimpering and shivering. In the next shot, which was a long one, the camera pans up to show that the worker is only a few feet off the ground.

In another TV commercial, a crew of emergency medical technicians jumps out of an ambulance as heroic music plays. They run to a car accident — and an E.M.T. faints, reports NYT

“Are you in the right job?” the ads ask.

This 43rd Super Bowl, Hyundai plans to go all out with its Genesis Coupe commercial. The Korean automaker will launch the Hyundai ad for 2009 during the Super Bowl in a sideways, two-part “Epic Lap” advertisement. To accomplish the shoot the automaker has got hot-shoe, truck almost flipping, former rallyist Rhys Millen on board to flog the RWD coupe around Road Atlanta’s 2.54-mile, 12-turn circuit.

Rhys Millen while speaking to media persons said, “We’re taking this car in a controlled environment to the max, hitting speeds of a 125 mph, braking deep, firing in, popping over the rumble strips, it’s awesome, a great feeling.” Link

Adding a dramatic effect to one of the One of the “Epic” commercials to achieve a dramatic feat will be a solo of Bach’s “Cello Suite #3 in C, Gigue” by Grammy-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma. It has been superiorly choreographed to Millen’s controlled mayhem behind the wheel. Hyundai is strategizing a web effort where surfers will be able to edit together snippets from the shoot and create an “Epic Lap” of their own.

The final commercial wont be released before February 1, I have tried hard to lay my hands on it, but in vain. However, behind the scenes are released, and believe me its no bad. Its definitely worth a look and surely you will get to see more than the comely yellow Hyundai. Watch closely and you will discover a pair of killer blacked-out camera cars: A Porsche Cayenne and a Mitsubishi Evo. at Wiki
