Sony is using a rather interesting concept to demonstrate the Playstation Vita's functionality. The Vita, a handheld gaming device, is mostly used by male, teenage gamers. What better way to grab a man's attention than by showing a woman with four breasts? The Vita has input devices on both the front and the back, so […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=AI5UIP-qTs8?rel=0 Remember those Herbal Essences commercials where someone would wash their hair and moan with delight? You know, the ones that were extremely awkward to watch in a family setting? They're some of the most fun commercials to mock due to the complete absurdity of the situation. They're back! Herbal Essences has rehashed an old […]

The smell of a fresh pizza is a delightful one. As soon as the aroma hits your nose you instantly crave a piece, whether you're hungry or not. Pizza Hut has decided to take that concept to a new, and frankly strange level. Meet Eau de Pizza Hut, a scene / perfume created by Pizza […]

The Carnival cruise from hell finally came to an end. Passengers were able to leave the Carnival Triumph on Thursday night, able to return home after what was reportedly a nightmarish experience on a powerless cruise ship. The entire situation is a PR nightmare. There's absolutely no positive way to spin a situation where your company […]

In news that shook the sports world, Oscar Pistorius – the double amputee sprinter which made history competing in the Olympics – has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The extremely tragic story shines a rather odd and somewhat disturbing light on one of Nike's old ads. Nike ran an ad back in […]

Oreo is on quite the roll. Their ad at the Super Bowl was met with mixed reactions but most people would agree that Oreo's comments during the power outage were brilliant. Was the success due to some creative and brilliant minds over at Oreo, or were they just lucky by being in the right place […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vijg_JwRAL8?rel=0 In advertising, timing is everything. You need to be as far in front of the curve as possible. You certainly don't want to be bringing up the year, rehashing dated topics. ESPN might have missed the boat on the whole Linsanity craze. That's not to say their new This is SportsCenter ad is a […]

Crossfire … You'll get caught up in the … Crossfire! These words still echo in the mind's of those that grew up during the '90s. Perhaps one of the most iconic commercials from the decade, this Crossfire commercial is a nostalgic trip. We asked on the

You might remember Sweet Brown, the woman that provided one of the most memorable interviews in recent memory after a fire broke out in her apartment complex. Instantly, the expression "Aint nobody got time for that!" was born and Brown became an Internet celebrity. Now Brown is back, using some of her quotes in a […]

Bowling, meet Busta Rhymes. Busta Rhymes, meet bowling. Who could have possibly guessed that these two polar opposites would work so well together? Apparently the folks over at ESPN did, as seen in this spot for the network's coverage of the PBA. Not only did their gamble grab our attention, but it actually resulted in […]

In the news of the creepy and somewhat disturbing, robots are apparently starting to take over. While this isn't quite on the level of Skynet (yet), it could mean the end of human sign spinners as we know them. South Park quotes aside (they took our jobs!), this whole robot thing is pretty bizarre. I've […]

Old Milwaukee has done it again. The beer company that once aired hilarious ads with Jose Canseco in just a handful of markets during the MLB All-Star break was back at it for the Super Bowl, running a steamy ad with Will Ferrell that makes the Go Daddy kiss look tame. According to Yahoo! Sports, […]

Super Bowl 47 is in the books. Now that we have crowned the Baltimore Ravens champions, we can also close the book on the single largest advertising day of 2013. As always, the advertisements were … interesting. There were several winners, plenty of losers and even a few that still have us scratching our head. […]

The power outage at this year's Super Bowl had the world buzzing. Viewers shared their reactions and jokes through social media, turning the outage into a rather fun sideshow. Several companies – Oreo, Walgreens, Audi and Buffalo Wild Wings – made the most of the power outage, cashing in on the rather odd event to […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=C_0fyUYB3cA?rel=0 Dikembe Mutombo is becoming quite the advertising professional. Fresh off saving the world from the Mayan apocalypse with Old Spice, Mutombo is now helping pitch insurance by blocking shots and giving his iconic finger wag. We could watch Mutombo block shots / smash cereal boxes in children's faces all day. It's nice to see Mutombo's […]
