When old ladies get cast in video game commercials...

...it's usually in Europe. And this happens:



For some reason, I really have the urge to play some GTA4 right now.

Letters to write home about

Despite the near-identical penmanship, this is not my writing. No, this gem was found tacked to the "loundry" room door of my building over the weekend.

Now, if I were writing an actual ad for the National Institute for Literacy, it would have NOTHING on this letter. There's simply no way anyone who can actually read at a fourth grade level could spell "because" as "bicos". Aren't those the little bacon thingies you put on salad? Wow. Sparks of genius like this only come from the idiot savants, I suppose.

Anyway, "tank-you" (probably illegal) immigrant maintenance man for inspiring me to add another campaign to my portfolio. The "clouged" drain is well worth the inconvenience.

Not even Jelly of the Month Club

The company I work for did so well this year that they decided not to give out holiday bonuses.
At all.
Which they waited until TODAY to tell us.
Did I mention they had a GREAT year?
...WTF.
I don't get it either so here's a video to sum up my confusion and disappointment (skip to about the 3:30 mark for main course).
Hallelujah, holy shit- Where's the Tylenol?

"Rod Blaga...Blago...Nagonna work here anymore, anyway."

payment options include campaign contributions, bullet-proof briefcases full of cash and paypal.

and yes, that is an Office Space reference.

Durextravaganza

It's been almost 2 months since my girlfriend left for Florida *cringe* on work detail.
She'll be back just in time for Thanksgiving and I CAN'T WAIT. In the meantime, enjoy these ads from Durex.
That last one has proven especially helpful these past 7 or 8 weeks.

If Viagra lasts longer than 4 hours, call your electrican

OK, someone has probably already cc'ed the shit out of you on an email containing this pic but I don't care.
I just saw it for the first time and thought back to my portfolio school days and how much they stressed non-traditional advertising media.
So simple and more direct than any other stupid "Dick and Jane" TV spot.
This just blows me away.











UPDATE: Holy glory-hole, Batman! JWieg linked me to this insanely disturbing Jesus light switch cover. In the context of this post, it's especially evil. Also, I'm pretty sure it was the subject of an episode of Law & Order: SVU.

Its a Landslide: Even Destro Voted for Obama

Say it with me everybody:
FUCK YEAH!

And if you get this reference to the original G.I. Joe movie from 1987, then DOUBLE FUCK YEAH!
