Your blood pressure probably has yet to drop since Kraft and CP+B turned tweets about Mac and Cheese into advertisements. That date, March 28, will go down in history books alongside events like the Spanish Armada, the Liberation of France and the Day that Music Died. Holy Cheeseasaurus Rex.

Well, 180LA and Boost Mobile (of “Where you at?” fame) are doing it again…but with a twist. Instead of turning complimentary/stupid tweets into advertising gold, Boost is using tweets of people complaining as the basis of its campaign. Who doesn’t love it when people complain over social networks? As 180 LA tells us, “The campaign is not just about ‘taking a tweet and making a spot.’ It’s about Boost taking the anger and frustration that people are hurling at the wireless industry on the web and making it the voice of a marketing campaign.”

“Working Man” is one of three television spots to air for the campaign, with a full launch scheduled for May 16. By the way, that awesome song in the background is Aloe Blacc’s “I Need a Dollar,” which was most famously used as the theme song for HBO’s terrible, vapid but somehow very enjoyable series How to Make it in America.

180 LA has rocked the interactive scene with their latest creation for Mitsubishi, proclaiming that it’s the world’s first “real” interactive driving test, giving the online user the ability to actually drive a car online by simply using the arrow keys.

Spoiler: Just don’t think about trying to get all fast and furious, though. You must stay inside the course or the car turns off and you lose your turn, which is a downer because it takes a while to finally get to do the actual test drive and the car that’s basically running idle. Also, the Guinness Book of World’s Records is validating it. Check out the “Mitsubishi Live Drive” and give it a spin yourself. Agency credits after the jump.
