Two great examples of viral advertising (that will have you laugh and smile)

(CBS News) I've got nothing against viral advertising. I sometimes take issue when it's done in a way that comes off as real when it's not, but have to admit there are some great ads made for those who love viral videos. So let's go ahead and show two good recent examples that are bound to make you laugh and smile. We kick things off with Coca-Cola playing on the idea of security cameras in a novel way. Check it out.

Much like many of you I'm sure, I tend to associate security camera footage with the not-so-good moments in life. So it's rather sweet to see they sometimes capture instances of fun, whimsical, romantic, silly and otherwise. A total feel-good video that actually had this blogger smiling.

And next up we have a group of men testing out Pine-Sol with a little surprise waiting for them. Wait a sec', what's that moving behind the cabinet...? Spoiler: It involves "Pine-Sol power, baby!"

By the way, "Give A Little Bit" is one of the most popular songs of Roger Hodgson. He recorded this song with the band Supertramp in 1977, but was completely composed and arranged by Hodgson (the band just followed the Roger's instructions).

I would also comment that Roger Hodgson remains active, with an impeccable voice and giving concerts all over the world, playing in Brasil, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, USA, Canada and many European countries. The arrangements of his songs are even better than their original recordings, the band that accompanies Roger is spectacular, and the Roger's voice is more powerful and better than ever!
So, I would like to invite you all to go to Roger Hodgson's concerts. I'm sure you all will relive the past in a way much better, and will also have amazing surprises with the Roger's solo work!

by SpringMatthews June 21, 2012 1:59 AM EDT: What a beautiful ad from Coca-Cola! How nice that the good in humanity is focused on instead of the bad. And what a fitting song to accompany the ad - Roger Hodgson's "Give a Little Bit." Roger, co-founder of Supertramp, wrote and composed this timeless, universal message when he was still in his teens and before he co-founded the band. I saw Roger in concert in February and was blown away. Hands down the best concert I have ever been to and I've seen everyone. See the original singer/songwriter of the classics we love such as Dreamer, The Logical Song, Breakfast in America, Take the Long Way Home, It's Raining Again, Fool's Overture, School, and so many more! You will leave his show with the same good feeling you got after watching the Coca-Cola ad. See his website at http://www.RogerHodgon.com for tour details.; Reply to this comment
