Apple iPhone Discovers Hot New Act: The Doors

April 19th, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts

Tweet I’m not a big fan of the tone of the new iPhone commercials. The sentiment of, “If you don’t have an iPhone then you suck,” feels excessively smarmy, even for Apple. But perhaps I judged too quickly. Maybe I underestimated the true power of having an iPhone with constant access to iTunes. The Genius function that analyzes […]

The Infiniti Hybrid: Better than a Horse

April 18th, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts

Tweet Allow me to calibrate your notion of history. Remember these dates: 1878 – Thomas Edison patents the light bulb. 1908 – The Model T becomes popular.  1979 – The Chevy Chevette is the best selling car in America. Now watch this Infiniti spot: OK, so according to Wikipedia, electric cars were actually common at the start of the […]

Porsche Bumpersticker: My Other Car is a Focus

April 15th, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts

Tweet It used to be that owning a Porsche was a symbol of status and wealth. Driving one was an achievement. It put you into rarefied air above us mere mortals driving our Fords and Chevys. At the very worst it was a bright beacon that screamed middle-aged crisis for the guy driving one whil wearing a cheap suit […]

Sex in the Ice Cubes for Modern Times: F**k in the Underwear

April 12th, 2011  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in All Posts

Tweet Sorry, this isn’t as fresh a post as I would have liked. If you didn’t know, I started my own internet marketing agency a few months back and I’ve been slammed.  Plus, Mike, my other writer, has been swamped with actual work as well, so DTM got a slightly lower priority… until I saw […]

Canadian Mist? More like Canadian Haze

April 1st, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts

Tweet You’re welcome! I took an hour out of my life to decipher this ridiculously convoluted ad and I did it all for you. So please, allow me to break this mish-mash down into its component parts:  First there’s a $10 refund offer.  All you have to do is buy TWO bottles of whiskey AND […]

I Hope Someone is Playing a Joke on domu.com

April 1st, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts

Tweet domu.com is a service that helps Chicagoans find new apartments in the city. The company recently launched a new transit campaign buying display ads in El cars. The gist of the ads being that they can match people with the right apartment and neighborhood for their personality. For example there’s Josie who’s apparently both a […]

Extra Extra! Gum is not Dessert!

February 28th, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts, Television

Tweet Take it from a guy who used to weigh over 250 pounds without nearly the frame to support it, gum is not dessert! Gum is not a plate of strawberry shortcake, it’s not a hot fudge sunday and it sure ain’t a delicious chocolate chip cookie. So please stop trying to tell me it […]

Whoopi Goldberg’s Bladder of Liberty

February 18th, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts, Internet, Print Ad

Tweet I remember when Whoopi Goldberg was actually funny. There was her very first breakout routine “”Direct from Broadway,” which debuted in 1985. Then in 1989 came “Fontaine… Why am I Straight?” Even 20 years later in 2005 her special “Back to Broadway” still had very strong moments. Agree with her politics or not you […]

Ad Classics: Mom, do you ever feel, not so fresh?

February 17th, 2011  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in All Posts

Tweet The fine people over at Nerve have put together this short film entitled, “Do You Douche?“, which fantastically compiles the history of those always awkward commercials about New Jersey’s favorite insult. Do You Douche? A Short Film from Nerve Media on Vimeo. I know women had it tough back then because, well, they thought […]

Pepsi Max: Official Cola of Spouse Abuse and Assault

February 16th, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts, Television

Tweet Pepsi Max spent $3 million on this Super Bowl ad that prominently features spousal abuse and assault: The poor man in this spot is kicked and has his head slammed into a table as well as having soap shoved in his mouth which devotees of “A Christmas Story” know full well can very easily […]
