This week in Brussels, 756 people made the longest toilet queue to set a new world record in support of UNICEF’s WaSH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene).
Unicef says “We have 5,000 children dying every day from the lack of clean water, sanitation and hygiene education — this means one every 20 seconds.”

I love when a logo fits a brand perfectly.
Haute Note makes very high end custom greeting cards, which comes across clearly in this calligraphy/crown logo.
Stunning viral video of a remote control Vodafone McLaren F1 racecar, with a BlackBerry Storm at the wheel, I mean as the wheel.
I like how it’s done in a casual non-professional way.

Photos of fleas aren’t nearly as creepy as turning people into fleas. Here they are walking over a huge dog in a Jakarta shopping centre.
Jak Petz hired Saatchi & Saatchi for this campaign. Frontline is the name of the flea killer – a strong name indeed.
