Chocolate Amnesia

Dove Chocolate has an ad about a woman who loves chocolate so much that she can't stop eating it even when she experiences a rather negative physical side effect.

Lavazza Coffee Ads

These ads for Lavazza Coffee are so gorgeous. I would love to get these made up into prints and frame them. I'm a big sucker for anything with red, white, and black. I absolutely ADORE them. Click on them to take a closer look. As Rachel Zoe would say: "I die!"

Uhh...Can somebody change the billboard now?

In the wake of one of the most horrific random acts of violence on a bus, Greyhound is getting rid of their "road rage" ad campaign. The marketing department must be shitting their pants right now. I mean, how do you get the message across: "Ride our bus. You'll be safe from some psychopath beheading you while you sleep." (Via CNEWS)

Hard to Swallow

The following pictures are ads for a prescription medication called Mebucaine. I thought they were quite creative, and unlike the usual advertising for medicine. That pizza looks especially painful. I bet it really tears apart the roof of your mouth. Ouch! (Via The Bizarre)

Things Could Be Worse...

You could be this poor model who has to pose in a Diesel jeans ad with his hands tied behind his back while wearing a bull's head. Wtf! Is this supposed to make us want to buy jeans? Copyranter had one of the funniest headings to this ad: "Hello? HELLO? Is the shoot over?". It makes me smile every time I read it. I don't know why it hits me so funny, but it does.

On a side note: I comment so much on Copyranter's blog, I think he might file a restraining order.

Pearls Before Swine

This Trojan condom ad grosses me out on so many different levels. (Via Copy Ranter)

Eggs-cellent Idea

Yeah, I went there. It was a bad pun, but I had to do it. The McDonalds in Chicago has a huge egg billboard that "cracks" open during the hours eggs are served in the restaurant. How awesome is this! (Via Adrants via Adland)

Get It! It's Funny Because She's Fat

Beer ads have just sunk to a new low. Cooper's Beer, I've never heard of it either, has just won an award at some ad festival for their unfunny as well as misogynistic ad featuring a badly Photoshopped woman who's...GASP fat. Get it, guys?! She's an overweight woman, and you wouldn't want to go home with her because of it. So, drink this shitty beer with 2.9% alcohol, and you won't get so drunk that you bring home a fat girl! Great message. Then, people wonder why over 15% of young women have unhealthy attitudes toward food. Okay, first of all, why would you want to drink a beer with so little alcohol content? Isn't the whole point of drinking a beer is to ultimately get drunk? And, say you did want to get drunk, would you then have to drink twice the amount of regular beers? Sounds great! Get less drunk and spend more! Sign me up. I'm beyond perplexed with this one.

The second ad is pretty bad too. Chicks with glasses and freckles are ugly. Who made up this ad campaign?! A group of 10 year-old boys?? I'm surprised there's not a third one that says, "Girls have cooties. Drink this beer."

It's a sad day for single women everywhere when Sex and the City jumps the shark. Methinks they should've just left things off with the season finale. The movie seems like a desperate attempt to make some money before the women get too old or nobody gives a shit anymore. You know it's going to be a bad review when the first sentence is a rant about the wart on Sarah Jessica Parker's chin. (Via The Observer)

The Godspell soundtrack made a comeback on So You Think You Can Dance last night. This routine was one of my faves. They looked like they were having a lot of fun, despite dancing to music from a 1970's musical based on the Gospel. Only in the 70's.
