One Million Word BillBoard By Sanyo And Saatchi

Working in an advertising house is certainly a big challenge that requires from the advert teams to often come up with innovative ideas to make an advert stand out. When a company asks an advertiser to promote a camera the result is usually a picture of the camera with a lot of technical stuff next to it. I doubt if anyone notices these adverts any more. When Sanyo wanted to make an advert for their Xacti CA65 Underwater Camera, they went to the people at Saatchi & Saatchi. They in turn came up with something totally unique, the world’s longest advert. They created a 63 meter long advert which contains one million words related to underwater life and activities. Among these one million words we can find a comprehensive guide of marine species, major tsunamis, shipwrecks, and two whole books: Moby Dick and 20 000 Leagues Under The Sea. Above the “waterline they only placed two words, seagull and lighthouse.This was done to show that there is more topics to capture underwater than above.

Bill Gates Is Now The 3rd Richest
An era just ended. After 13 consecutive years, Bill Gates fell on to the 3rd place in the worlds richest, according to Forbes. He apparently lost his place when Microsoft’s stock price fell when the Yahoo take over bid failed.
Anyway ladies and gentlemen I now present you the worlds richest man Mr. Warren Buffett.
Warren Buffett is the chief executive officer and large stock owner of Berkshire Hathaway that mostly deals with insurances and other business. Mr. Buffett’s fortune reaches 62 Billion dollars.
Second on the list is Carlos Slim who deals with Mexican telecommunications and is worth 60 billion dollars and third as we said earlier is Bill Gates with only 58 billion.
Ebay: The Worlds Largest Music Collection Is Sold!
Few hours ago one of the most expensive Ebay auctions just came to an end. It was called the worlds largest music collection and it has 3,000,000 Vinyl records and 300,000 CD’s. The selling price at the auction end was $3,002,150.00 and the estimated real value of the collection is speculated to be over $50,000,000. The interest for this collection was great as the auction web page attracted over 230,000 visitors
The lucky winner that is going to give $3,002,150 for this collection is user jopsoup. His last purchase is a 1GB memory card for his digital camera and it cost him $5. I wonder which person that has $3,000,000 to give for CD’s will go on Ebay to buy a $5 memory card
