At some point you need a companies logo vectorized, because you have a presentation to do, your client hasnt supplied you with a logo, or if do do have, its a crappy jpg. BUT help is near! Loads of logos can be found on: http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/
This is a screenshot of a.beining.com version 2. It lasted me 902 days. And around 2000 visits, of which 50% came from Norway, 13% Spain, 7% China (Beining is a city in China apparently), USA, UK ++
Most use XP (53%) and IE 6 (34%). BUT being a portfolio site, loads of Macers have come around too! 37% use osX and 34% Safari. Not bad.. 
Well, after so long time without any updates (last one was the 1. of June 2006..), I was getting embaressed, SO without any further ado: TATAA! http://a.beining.com all new!

Skol beer from Brazil had this campaign some time back. The copy says (more or less): Left image: “If the person who invented the black censorship block would have had Skol, it wouldn’t be like this.” Right image: “It would be like this.”
Just look at this ridiCULOus spot from the Spanisch ad agency The Farm for the softdrink KAS. The spot is called “Culo” (behind/ass/ or 
whatever you wanna call it). A girl runs around in the city, constantly close-up of bottom, she turns around and sess loads of guys following her, she drinks KAS, continues to run.
