Question 742: "SmacK" That around a bit

Nonsensical title, but used to describe a nonsensical world which is yet to make sense. A massive advertising campaign aimed at kids(which 1 isn't), ID the company & the person blanked out (said person is the mascot)
#brownie points for the name of the campaign, which is what you need to sit through an episode of it.

Question 682: Puts the Joy in Joystick

Something wanton for the week.
THis ad, released by a company __X__ was recalled a few days after, for more obvious reasons
Puting delicate constituions aside for a moment, gaze into the picture & ID the company, & reason why it was discarded

Question 631: That's What She's Saying

The current logo is almost universally associated with the brand, but few know of its origins.

The original logo resembled something of a brown cigar bran cover, featuring a rare version of the Siren, a woman with a mythological reputation. The obvious specialties of this version of the siren did not go unnoticed, more so because of her twin assets - an extremely uncommon image rarely associated with her more popular present persona. Many enjoyed the exotic connotations associated with her symbolism then, catapulting the brand into popular culture.

A few years later, it got re-imagined to more closely resemble the  present day toned down version. The chest was flattened, the belly button erased and a gentler smile on her face welcomed millions of people to the shops the world over, as the franchises spread.

Today, she bears only a faint resemblance to her original visage, with her most unique attributes hidden in the zoomed-in version of her image.

Give me the brand she stands for.

You need to pay close attention to the space ABOVE the derriere to notice the subtlety. Nice.

Question 520: I have the force, or as its known in India, "Mere Paas MA He"

Back after unpopular demand, and the fact that we're going crazy trying to find my books, Nihar & I will be posting questions sporadically till March.
We'll be alternating a question a day, on every alternate day

Been sitting on this question for quite some time now, decided to post it whilst its still fresh on the net, if not the mind
lol

The video shows a boy __X__, dressed as Darth Vader trying to move objects using the force. The boy __X__, was cast in spite of having a congenital heart defect, but he essayed his roll brilliantly nonetheless.
The video went viral and was dubbed the biggest hit of the event __Z__, which most people watch for the ads.
The  ad is for a company __Y__, and was aired very recently at the major event __Z__?


X with his family and Doc

X
Question:
1) ID the young Vader
2) & just ID Z, coz Y seems rather obscure from this video )doesn't even make an appearance)
Also, brownie points for giving me any info on the title of the post

Question 440: Comfy?

I'm going to be out for a few days, so i doubt i'll be able to post
ive also become co-author of this blog

Now onwards ho to the question.

This word has its origins in 1700–10; orig. Scots; perh. < Scand; cf. Norw koselig or kose seg, which means to to enjoy oneself.
The word itself is used to describe relationships, settings, and is amongst the most widespread used words in the world.

It rose to prominence however, when a company __X__, whose ad for the word __Y__ is shown, used it to describe the level of comfort it assured.

Question:
1) id the company __X__
2) Id the word __Y__




Sorry for the bad resolution on this pic, but it was hard finding the original ad)
