This is one of the most sexual ads I’ve ever seen on TV!

One more post about the Beijing Olympic games! Since the games are happening at late (and early) hours I’ve been following the news from different websites but mainly from BBC and Estadao (for Brazilian Olympic news). This morning I was also checking other websites for curiosity. Most of them follow a similar layout pattern with featured articles on top, headlines, number of medals and in some cases multimedia content. I’d like to see more different approaches for this subject… I’ll try to find some more and update this post later. Suggestions are welcome!

Guardian’s Map of Olympic Medals

Somebody at our office sent round this link. It gives a graphical display of all medals won by which county at the Olympics since 1896. Wonderfully done. Really like the arrangement of balls into a world map. Balls.
