The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) in its effort to increase tax collection puts out ads and press release identifying sectors of society who they believe are not paying proper taxes. They do this by shaming people and business through these ads. On their latest ad, they targeted doctors by showing them as burdens to society for not paying their share of taxes. The image is a doctor making over a million Pesos being carried on the shoulder of a lowly teacher making much less but paying full tax. Based on this ad, the BIR is saying that the doctors and other professionals are the burden to society because they don't pay their taxes. Apparently, the hundreds and thousands of pesos they spent learning their profession and countless hours of study and upgrading they do every year to save and improve people's lives are worth nothing. Maybe there is a reason people don't like paying their taxes, because all they see is endless traffic, bad road, bad government and the ...

New 2011 Seiko Wallet commercial. I thought it was funny.

Nike has always been known to make great ads. Typically, Nike uses athletes in their ads, but they came out with an ad recently just as the Olympics came out that's called "Find Your Greatness". There are several ads in the campaign but this one called "Jogger" is particularly interesting. Instead of an athlete, it features and overweight 12 year old boy name Nathan from London, Ohio. This ad is a bit controversial as some people are calling it exploitative or making fun of an overweight person. I personally think it's brilliant and inspirational, not exploitative at all. The first time I saw the ad I thought to myself, this is a great ad. It shows people that you don't need to be an athlete to go and work out, you just have to do it. By the way, Nathan said he puked in a ditch while filming takes. That's commitment! Watch. Here are more details about Nathan from Business Insider .

Did you get the message?
