PETA ad in Southwest Mag: Screw you @SouthwestAir, @PETA, and @Adrants

May 24, 2010

I really don’t know whom to be pissed at here… Earlier today, Adrants reported that Southwest Airlines rejected the new PETA ad which features a hot chick in her underwear thanks to the new full body scanners at the airport  from it’s in-flight magazine because it was, “too provocative to run in our publication.” First [...]

Accenture: Nothing says tech consulting like a surfing elephant [VIDEO]

May 20, 2010

There are boat loads of really smart people over at Accenture, which is why I’m wondering how this commercial saw the light of day. It’s actually a cute little concept. The surfing elephant gets an easy smile and ties in with their question about “who says you can’t be big and nimble?” Two things… for [...]

Ford Fiesta commercials are just reaching for anything now

May 19, 2010

I actually like Ford as a car manufacturer, so I’m taking this series of stupid commercials kind of personal. If you’ve read over this site before, you might have seen my rant on some of the goofy things they do in car commercials.  Coming up with a creative ad concept for  car commercial has got [...]

What is iPad? Seriously, who’s asking?

May 17, 2010

I’m kind of torn about the new spot featuring Apple’s iPad: For starters, the first thing to be said in the ad is “What is iPad?” I used to have a boss that hated it when I started ad copy with a question, but that’s not my problem here. To be honest, I’m wondering who [...]

Site updates and new writers

May 17, 2010

If you haven’t noticed already, my designer made some cool tweaks to the site last week. I think they came out pretty cool and to prove it, I plan on paying the guy’s bill. Anyway, take a look around, try and break shit, whatever… just let me know if anything looks wonky and then I’ll [...]

McDonalds is all for unsafe driving with your baby

May 12, 2010

I can hear the women-folk cooing about the cuteness of this McDonald’s breakfast spot already. I once had a women tear me a new one because I actually caught her kid when he was falling while she ignored him while standing in line for a movie. The kid was going to do a full face [...]

Walker from Brown and Browner Advertising says, “Doing That Crap Is Going to Cost You”

May 7, 2010

Derek Walker claims he is the “janitor, secretary and mailroom person” for Columbia, S.C. based agency, brown and browner advertising, but one of the big agencies should scoop him up because he’s really got something with his post on Advertising Age this morning. Here’s the heart of his rant: “doing crappy work actually costs more [...]

Cami Secret and Kush Support… I guess I’ll just have to take your word for it

May 7, 2010

One of my loyal readers sent over this one with the note, “a woman had to have invented this.” I’m completely baffled. I have no idea if this is a real issue or not for women. I mean, to me, if I have something in my wardrobe that is too hot for the office, I [...]

Oh #WTF, are they just letting Flo write the Progressive ads now?

May 6, 2010

I hate to admit it, but I had a thing for Flo from the Progressive commercials for awhile.  She’s got this kinda goth/indie thing going on, she’s kinda funny, and she looks like you could talk her into just about anything after a few drinks. But now I’m just done with her… especially after this [...]

What’s up with Fergie’s arm in this Black Eyed Peas concert ad? #WTF

May 5, 2010

I was flipping through a copy of Rolling Stone this weekend and found this ad for the Black Eyed Peas’ Summer Tour. After asking some basic questions like, “Why am I getting Rolling Stone? I didn’t order Rolling Stone…” and “Who the hell still reads Rolling Stone?” I said, “What the hell is up with [...]
