Sometimes I’m really amazed what gets through in ads these days.  Jack In The Box has made some amazing ads since they brought Jack back, and this is still a good ad… they may have just wanted to check into what it means when you have a tear tattooed under your eye.         [...]

So, there appears to be a bit of a kerfuffle (damn I love that word) over everything from intellectual property rights to copy rights and internet memes and all kinds of legal crap over whether or not the new Chevy ad below stole its concept from the popular blog, DearPhotograph.   Of course the answer [...]
