I love cheese. Ever since I was a kid, it's one of the things I always liked finding in the fridge when it came time for a snack. Personally, I know what brands I like, and advertising isn't really going to convince me to try a new brand. I also like creative advertising, and these days, more and more traditional brands are opting for more original ways to market themselves, which makes for some entertaining commercials. Check out this new spot for Cracker Barrel cheese below.

Now, You Can Destroy Your Own House Virtually! [VIDEO]

Have you ever wanted to see your own house destroyed? Well, I haven't either, at least not in reality. But given the chance to see it happen in the virtual world is pretty cool. It's actually an app put out as part of the ad campaign for State Farm Insurance that uses the chaos theme, where a giant robot attacks a neighborhood. On this app, you enter your address, and with the use of Google Street View, the robot wipes out your house. You can actually enter any address, so maybe it's time for virtual revenge on your boss, an ex, or anyone else you'd like to pay back. Just remember, karma's a bitch!

Creative advertising is awesome. Personally, I love the fact that ad agencies are always pushing the envelope to get you to pay attention to their products. Everybody knows that beer companies are among the brands that consistently have some of the best ad campaigns, right? Just look back on any Super Bowl to see what I'm talking about. Car companies are not far behind in letting ad agencies use their creativity to get their message across either, but every once in a while, one goes just a little too far. That, of course is a matter of opinion, as evidenced by the ad for a new model from Hyundai, that the company decided was 'too shocking' for Dutch television. Personally, I think it's great.
