Better Call Saul this is not.

One Jacksonville area lawyer, John Morgan, recorded a minute long radio ad not to sell his business.  Not to promote his work to potential customers.  No, that would be silly.  Instead, Mr. Morgan dedicated a minute to plead with Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan to sign Tim Tebow.

You can't make this up.

Amazingly, the ad's coup de grace, "You can't TiVo Tebow" has failed to take off as of yet.

Hot sports takes about Tim Tebow are about as fresh as milk that's been baking in the Sahara for six weeks, but at least we can all have a good chortle at this.  A man that's so caught up in TebowMania that he's willing to use valuable advertising space for his business and dedicate it to a backup NFL quarterback.  Sure, you could easily call this ad delusional and a detachment from reality, but when it comes to Tim Tebow, it's fair to say most of the American population falls in that category one way or another.

H/T This Given Sunday

Need a Mother's Day gift idea? Take her to Hooters. This online ad that we caught running over on ESPN says that if you bring your mom to Hooters on Mother's Day she'll eat for free, assuming she orders a drink and keeps it under $10. What better way to tell your mom how much you love her than by eating in a restaurant where you're surrounded by cleavage and spandex?

Amazingly, this isn't the first noteworthy Mother's Day ad that has run on ESPN. If you recall, Mel Kiper was in a Mother's Day banner ad claiming he'd help you pick out the perfect gift. We wonder what Mel would think about a meal at Hooters as a Mother's Day gift. 

Our very own @bkoo spotted this one. 

Local commercials are comedy gold. They usually take themselves way too seriously and the end result is a mockery of the world of advertising. Then there are commercials like this one for a transmission service in California that leaves all seriousness at the door and raises the bar for local advertisements. 

We're not sure if it's the dance moves, the beautiful vocals or the way our main character stares longingly into the camera, but this commercial had us laughing.

We're not the only ones. The "Shift It" ad exploded online, with over 2.4 million views on YouTube. It's been discussed on MSN and Ellen, to name a few. Not too bad for a commercial that looks like it only cost a few bucks and for a business owner that looks like he's just trying to have some fun. 

A Spanish organization, Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk (or ANAR), has created a very innovative way to help abused children.

The ad tries to prevent child abuse regardless of who sees it, but an adult will see a different message than a child. The idea is that even if a child is with his or her abuser, they know who to call for help. 

May 12, 5:52pm: Wow, can you believe what Peggy did? I would find it plausible, but then again, I would find anything plausible, since I haven't watched Mad Men Episode 606 yet. I have heard rumors, though, of another loss in character continuity. Characters can evolve, but not like Peggy's apparently done. Writers these days...

Anyway, I had to take the weekend of May 5 off for a post-wedding minimoon. To prepare for Episode 607 tonight, I'm running through the On Demand version of Mad Men Episode 606 from May 5. This version conveniently has few commercials (though that might run counter to the raison d'etre of our parent blog). Perhaps the entire thing is a big commercial for Banana Republic ties. I now have several following the minimoon. When you write a Mad Men live blog, people have a narrow perspective on your taste in ties. Pun.

Coke Zero Canada has released an epic short film detailing the triumph of Kevin Wheeler, a hockey player looking to have his one shining moment. Wheeler, an amateur hockey player, is played by Edmonton Oilers forward Jordan Eberle. 

The saga details the true story of Eberle...er, Wheeler, forgetting his gear before a big game. Hours away, Wheeler calls on a neighbor to pick up his gear for him and meet him halfway between the rink and his house. Coke Zero calls this "Moment Zero", or the moment that makes a great triumph possible. After a brief encounter with the police, played by Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole, Wheeler makes his game and turns the tide by lighting the lamp. 

Have you ever tried Wodka Vodka? No? Neither have we. Despite the fact we've never tried their product, we can't resist discussing their marketing campaign which reached a whole new level with this sign seen in Chicago Lake Liquors, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota (We know, it confused us too). The photo of this sign attracted plenty of eyes on Reddit and we couldn't resist weighing in on it. 

Wodka Vodka: Escort Quality, Hooker Pricing. 

This bit of in-store signage is just another extension of a marketing campaign that Wodka has been using for quite some time now. It's a fairly direct message: ____ Quality. ____ Pricing. The first blank should be a lavish or expensive item or idea while the second blank should be something commonly thought of as cheap. It's simple, but it works. It spices up the usual "our product is just as good as pricier options" without being boring about it. Can it be offensive? Maybe, but it certainly generates buzz. 

Brace yourself - the marketing campaign for the newest installment of the Call of Duty series has officially started. The new title, simply labeled Call of Duty: Ghosts, isn't scheduled to be released until November. Despite that date sitting roughly six months away, the marketing machine fueled by Activision and Infinity Ward is already up and running.

The video above is classified as a teaser trailer. So far it has only appeared online, but it's a safe bet that you might see similar version on TV in the near future. It hints that the game will follow the Ghosts, a military unit that is probably pretty similar to any special operations unit. That's it. That's all of the information you can derive from this minute and a half video. 

Obviously, the folks over at Infinity Ward and Activision don't want to give too much away. The secrecy only builds anticipation and typically it leads to some seriously ridiculous sales numbers. Still, we have to question the most obvious problem here and that's with the concept and game itself.
