I wonder if the ad men behind this ad….

…..had as much trouble as the ad guy IN the ad coming up with this “brilliant” idea.   I’m not sharing this because I think it’s great, entertaining or cause I have a sick love for talentless little blonde girls and their hack fathers.  Supposedly the “PC” in this commercial is actually a Mac.  What do [...]

Sticking with the Same message could be ‘marketing suicide’

According to adage.com blogger Marc Brownstein it’s ‘marketing suicide’ to not adapt your brand’s message to reflect America’s economic crisis.  Marc mentions two brands in his post: Hyundai and Wendy’s.
Hyundai is capitalizing on capitalism’s shortcomings by offering the-recently-unemployed money back for returning their car.  It’s called the Hyundai Assurance Plan.  Marc says, “It struck me [...]

Claus – This isn’t yo’ momma’s Santa

I’m really loving the Palm Centro Claus commericals.  They crack me up on so many levels.  It’s like Santa said, “Screw these kids that don’t believe,” developed a cocaine addiction (you know to lose the weight) and then bought a new cell phone.  Here is one of the ads that’s airing on TV:

Courtesy Amy Corr of Section Three: Out To Launch, a blog from MediaPost.com, I learned that Best Buy is running two seperate series of holiday commercials.  
Here’s one from Canada that’s going for funny over sentimental:

Moms Mad at Motrin

I can’t believe people are getting mad about this… Grow up.  It sounds like you need to be in the sling, baby-back-pack or harness cause you’re acting like a child.  Watch here:

Scary-Ass Skittles Commercial

This commercial is kind of old, but my friends and I were talking about it.  I said I want to blog about (got some eyerolls, cause I’m that guy).
To my shock and horror, there is a part of the skittles commercial I’ve never seen before……. Turns out Tim, the man with the Skittles Midas Touch, [...]

Nikon Camera and Limited Faces of Ashton

Ashton Kutcher has been popping up as the spokesperson for the new Nikon Cameras in a number of commercials.  In my opinion Mr. Demi Moore is an actor of limited character.  He’s always the obnoxious, loud and less than intelligent guy who’s mostly looks and often has a girl problem….
Here is my favorite spot/camera where [...]

You’ve got to see this…..(giving some Steve Hall love)

Hilarious!!!

Steve Hall wrote about this commercial over on AdRants and on another one of his blogs.  I wish American advertising was this bold.  I wasn’t even sure what was being advertised.  
After checking out channelBee.com I think it’s a British video site.  Those damn accents got on my nerves too much [...]

The Routon Boom is the next big crisis in our country…….

And Brooke Shields is here to tell you all about it.  
In a series of ads wrapped in PSA’s skin from VW, Brooke takes the role of informer as she intervenes in the lives of these misguided souls.  Souls that have been corrupted by German engineering, triple-stitched leather seating, a 30-gig [...]
