Motherhood meets gangster rap in new Fiat ad

Motherhood fiat adMotherhood Fiat AdMotherhood Fiat AdIn a campaign far removed from the norm, Fiat has released "The Motherhood", a mock rap video featuring a stressed mum with her three children.

The ad covers the trials and tribulations of the daily life of a mum, and, whilst avoiding the coarse language normally associated with the genre, the main character acts in very much the same way. Especially in posing next to her Fiat 500L, the real 'star' of the video.

The tagline for the video also mocks the genre: "Word to all the mothers out there. This one goes out to you..." ' The Motherhood' feat. Fiat 500L is dedicated to all those women who have to be all things to all people and live it large on a daily basis."

Very funny but a bit long - worth watching until the end though.

Top Ten Architecture and Design Videos by Dezeen

Skate Board VideoLighting VideoDezeen's architecture and design movies had a staggering 2.2 million plays in 2012 and they've rounded up the ten most popular ones for you. It's a great collection of videos from their Vimeo channel.

At number one is this film (top) demonstrating the Stair Rover by Po-Chih Lai, an eight-wheeled skateboard that can roll down stairs. The movie formed part of their coverage of Royal College of Art graduate projects in the summer and was selected by the team at Vimeo as one of their Staff Picks.

Their second most-watched movie from the last year is all about the future of lighting design, where glowing walls, windows and furniture will replace light bulbs and LEDs in homes according to Dietmar Thomas of Philips Lumiblade, who commissioned Dezeen to make the film.
