Friday Roundup

It's been a very busy week here and we're in the mood for some fun. Let's take a look at what brands are doing this week to get noticed:

• If you've ever left home without travel insurance, this spot may make you think twice.
  [Ad Week]
• All you Pong fans out there (you know who you are) will love AmEx's Roddick vs. Pong spot. Don't miss your chance to play Pong yourself. [Ad Blather]
  
• A game only a mother could love: Buddies Scrubbies. See how many toddlers you can clean in two minutes. (Or not.) What I want to know is: how (or why) Johnson & Johnson's target market will find the time to play? [Adfreak]
• Wondering what that big SUV says about you? I hate to admit it, but Greenpeace puts out a very funny spot called the City Gas Guzzler. We just wonder how much energy was used to make the commercial.
  
• Check out the Lebron James Nike spot from December that resurfaced this week. And remember, "it's not about you, it's about the shoes."
• Thank goodness this is fake. Don't miss the I'm really lovin' it McDonald's campaign from the Bad Ads Photoshop contest. View other entries here. [Consumerist]
• Kawasaki shows us what a good time at the office should look like. Bring your helmet.
  
• What makes Canadians so...so... Canadian? Universal Films takes a stab at the answer.
