These ads for breakingnews.ie show us just how quickly and instantaneous the latest breaking news is ready for you to read on their site, *â€œStraight from the source."*

My favorite one is the sports ad which has the journalist sandwiched right between a football tackle.

The ads were created by advertising agency Chemistry, Dublin, Ireland with creative direction by Mike Garner and Nicole Sykes. The copy was written by Anne Fleming.

**Implications** - These outrageous ads are definitely going to grab the attention of avid sports fans and athletes. They're both hilarious and informative: two major elements of many successful advertisements. Sit back on your couch and watch these comedic commercials unfold on the field.
