Time for another round-up of the week in advertising: we kick things of with a nice use of stop motion from Brazilian agency Almap BBDO stitching together 873 Getty images to make a one minute film on life

Yes, it's a technique that has ben used plenty of times before but it's an entertaining way to show off the breadth of Getty's archive and its ability to tell any story "from love to Bingo".

Next up, canines and felines set aside historic differences in this spot for J20 from BBH which has echoes of the same agency's 2003 Levi's spot Swap

The Euro 2012 footie blockbuster ad season is well and truly underway. Nike goes for a familiar cavalcade of sponsored talent in My Time is Now

But this is rather different in that the ad was conceived as an interactive experience first, rather than it being added on to what was essentially just a commercial: the online version has all sorts of additional content that can be unlocked by clicking on the right places - access it here

And finally, another AlmapBBDO ad, this time for VW car parts referencing all the poor quality copies of hit videos on YouTube. The agency placed banners promoting original VW parts on the copy videos. When viewers clicked on them, they were taken to the original version of the video they were watching.

It's gotta be the J20 Ad for me, even with heavy weights like Polanski are sitting among your choices. I'm a sucker for people with animal head transplants, particularly when the afflicted appear to be distinguished as part of a youth cult. I think the Mod Wolves in Mighty Boosh, a few years ago may have started it off. But this is leagues ahead and I'm all for using advances in digital technology to morph real cat heads on to models bodies.

Simple idea, great stuff!

Bingo has always been one of the most popular games ever played. It is also one of the games that is played in most parts of the world. Bingo has never really faded out, even though generations have passed through.
