Dogs’ Last Supper
I probably should have saved this until Easter, but I couldn’t wait. It’s an Italian ad for OIPA, the Organizzazione Internazionale Protezione Animali (the International Organization for the Protection of Animals). Notice that there is only human, Judas. The copy reads: “One of you betrays us 150,000 times every year.”
I am assuming that is the number of dogs put down in Italy every year.Advertising Agency: Remember, Milan, Italy

Bridgestone’s Lucky Dog Ad
Bridgestone’s Lucky Dog ad is hilarious and beautifully executed, but for some reason it never made its debut at the Super Bowl as planned. Directed by Kinka Usher, who has experience with special effects (Mystery Men) and dogs ("Yo quiero Taco Bell" commercials), I’m pretty sure no animals were harmed during the shoot. Find out the secrets of how it was made to look so real from Joey Tomatoes at blip.tv.
It was shot in Orvieto, Italy, (north of Rome) one of the most breathtaking towns in the world. If you go there, stay at La Badia, a 6th century abbey transformed into a hotel.
La BadiaI had one of the best meals of my life there — mushroom crepes with wild flowers, roated white beans, prociutto and melon, bruschetta, local white wine, and a rose liquor for desert — eating flowers and drinking roses beside a roaring open fire — it was otherworldly.
