Lose weight with what?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Personally, I like to cycle to stay in shape.

If only I’d known that apple vinegar could do the same thing, I would have been gorging on that instead.

Wacky Tango ad

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Found this ad for Tango on limmy.com.

It’s really good, because everyone wants to think about fruit when they smell farts.

Looking forward to Obama as the new Marlboro Man as well

Another great ad from Chesterfield cigarettes, this time endorsed by none other than former US President Ronald Reagan.

Magazine not getting enough attention at the news stand?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

The is an ad for Deutsch, a German lifestyle magazine who decided that bestiality was the way forward in promoting themselves as a really classy and forward thinking publication.

Nice.

Gary Glitter threatens Iran

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The US army seem to have decided to get Gary Glitter on board to threaten Iran. The official army poster shows the disgraced glam rocker mixing his old glam rock image, in the form of stripey trousers and a starry wastecoat with his new seedy, malevolent image complete with the chinny beard he has been sporting in all of his trials of recent memory. The poster shows him rolling up his sleeves ready to fight any Iranian that comes his way, and who wouldn’t be afraid of such a hideous man?

Indeed, the US army wouldn’t even have him over for a photoshoot, so they had to settle with a drawing of how he might look when he’s ready to hit someone with a spanner.

Quality band and album name

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Oh yes, it’s everyone’s favourite band, Wank, with their album ‘get a grip on yourself’.

For their album cover they chose to have a throng of people from the 50s.

Get rid of that annoying pile of gold in your house

Quite a bold statement there, PETA.

Monday, February 8th, 2010

PETA decided to do some shockvertising by showing that burgers make kids fat and therefore anyone feeding burgers to their kids would be just as well locking them in a basement filled with flesh eating rats.

Well, that’s me convinced.

Wine doesn’t just come with cheese

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I wonder what the model for this ad thought when she saw it. She was told that she was going to be advertising cheese.

This ad was found at contexts.org, which is a very good blog on the effect of different images on the wider mentality of society.
