· Comment

It’s not news to most that KIA has been pro­duc­ing awe­some car com­mer­cials for the past cou­ple of years now.

Apple iPod Touch Ad Breaks Yahoo! Games

Check out this very cre­ative Apple iPod Touch ad which appears to be “break­ing” the Yahoo! Games home­page.

Note: The music is by The Aster­oid Galaxy Tour, titled “Around The Bend”.

PS. This is the sec­ond Flash ad that I can recall doing this “break” con­cept. The first one I saw to suc­cess­ful­ly fool me to doing a WTF-moment occured this past Sep­tem­ber. It was a Nin­ten­do Wii game cam­paign for Wario Land: Shake It! on Youtube.
