Beer to end all beers

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Controversial-with-the-Advertising-Standards-Authority brewery BrewDog have just brought out the world’s strongest and most expensive beer. The End of the World, as it’s called, is 55% proof lager and comes with a £500 per bottle price tag. It’s infused with nettles and juniper berries and only 12 bottles have been made so far.

Oh yeah, and it comes served in a real life stuffed stoat.

BrewDog’s own blog entry on the beer can be found here

Found a link to this site on clientsfromhell.net. It claimed to be the worst website of all time. It wasn’t joking.

Topiary

This ad for the new Schick Quattro for women features some fine topiary and a completely unconnected statue. Nice.

Glasgow protects citizens from obscenity

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

This artist’s impression of an ad appeared in an Evening Times article on the 27th May this year.

But this ad will not run as it has been banned by Glasgow City Council as it has been deemed just a bit too racy for the general public. If you can’t see why, let’s take another look at it, but this time in close-up.

I think when you look at the ad a little but closer, then you do finally realise what the problem is – it does in fact contain the word ‘bum’. What Reebok were thinking when they considered posting this ad is beyond me. Maybe they were trying to court controversy, just using shock tactics to sell trainers, or maybe Reebok’s advertising agency is nothing but a cesspool of depraved filth and obscenity.

How proud I am to live in a city where we, the citizens and the children of our communities can be protected from the menace of these vile people. I’m glad I’ll never have to see that word anywhere.

Although, having said that, when I got home I did in fact see this when I was sitting down to watch some teatime TV:

Oh well….

Feel the mirth!

From back in the days before all this crazy nanny state nonsense prevented pharmacies selling cocaine to children.

Spam spam spam

In light of the amount of Spam I’ve been getting in the comments section of this site (well done – you’ve found a way round the captcha, you clever little beggars), here are some adverts for Spam, the meat substance:

Wenlock & Mandevil

Following the controversy surrounding the London 2012 OIympics logo (which I, frankly quite like,) the new mascots for the games – Wenlock & Mandeville – have been unveiled. Probably to more controversy. But once again I, frankly quite like them.

Actually not funny at all

According to Amnesty International UK, this ad was due to appear in the Financial Times today and was funded by 2000 supporters. The ad encourages people to question Shell’s activities in the Niger Delta at Shell’s AGM. But the ad was pulled by the FT at the last minute. Amnesty have in turn requested this ad be shared by as many people as possible so that they can see it and hopefully act on it as well.
