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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Actually, I probably shouldn’t say that all the stories in the Angie’s List commercials are made up. Some of them are quite believable and totally based in reality. But this one is just bullshit: Here’s how I know… pregnant women are batshit crazy. Now, I don’t have any kids of my own, but I’ve been [...]
If you don’t know what a Dutch Oven is in relation to farting, go look it up… you’re already on the interwebs, it’ll just take a second… Meanwhile, those of you that are male or went to college can watch this very real ad for the Better Marriage Blanket: I really don’t know what they [...]
Oh holy fuck this ad makes my head hurt… Let me just state that the headline for this post is just me fucking with the folks over at Mashable for writing an article entitled, “New Droid Incredible Commercial Is Incredible But Vague” apparently just after cleaning up from a major orgasm after seeing the damn [...]
Sure, I haven’t posted in awhile, but that doesn’t mean I don’t hate bad ads with the fire of a thousand suns. Take this goofy thing from Samsung: Sure, you may see a guy throwing business cards at balloons, but all I see is a guy littering in the name of making a very obvious [...]
