Nike Australia posted an advertisement starring the hot-headed tennis star, featuring animated dark clouds and rain obstructing Kyrgios. The tagline for the advert reads “Dark clouds never got in the way of talent.” AdFreak notes the advertisement’s received […]

A golden advertisement for President-Elect Donald Trump’s ‘Trump Tower’ has resurfaced following bizarre, unsubstantiated reports, which are simultaneously gross and hilarious. This week a scandal broke out after Buzzfeed published a doozy of a 35-page document compiled by a British intelligence operative which claimed Russian officials have a secret recording of Trump watching prostitutes pee (yes) […]

Friday night wasn’t a good time for Ronda Rousey. Rousey was quickly TKO’d in 48 seconds by Amanda Nunes at UFC 207. If the loss wasn’t humiliating enough, an advertisement featuring Rousey for Pantene played while Nunes was celebrating her stunning victory. That’s rough. Rousey became the new face for Pantene earlier this month, appearing […]

It’s that time of the year again. It’s time to choose the worst ad of 2016. Unfortunately, this year’s worst advertisement was a no-brainer. An ad so excruciating, so deliberately distasteful, it might be the worst commercial of all-time. Of course, the worst ad of 2016 is Miracle Mattress’ offensive 9/11 spoof. Yes, they not only […]

Sometimes context doesn’t matter in advertising, but in the case of a new Walmart commercial featuring Daddy Yankee’s “Shaky, Shaky,” as its theme, it’s hard to ignore. Walmart Peurto Rico launched a new ad featuring the 2016 hit. The “Shaky, Shaky” referred to eager kids shaking Christmas presents. It all seems harmless. But, if you […]

A casting agency representing General Motors decided it was a good idea if an upcoming advertisement featured a diverse group of Americans including neo-nazi’s. Yep, you read that correctly. A casting call acting upon behalf of Cadillac sent out a request looking for actors to star in a commercial “capturing all walks of life of […]

Pornhub wants its audience to have a lonely night. After releasing a funny, yet uncomfortable Christmas advertisement in 2016, Pornhub released its latest addition to the holiday series. The latest ad is called “Lonely Night,” and places emphasis on the phrase while parodying the Christmas classic “Silent Night.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs9x9rBc8pA The spot is about being lonely […]

The 2015 Game Awards have come and gone, and with it, a new enemy has been born. Throughout the award show festivities, viewers were constantly bombarded with Shick’s corporate shill of a mascot, Hydrobot.

No Man’s Sky was undoubtedly the most anticipated, widely-salivated-online game in recent memory. The open-world, space adventure survival game developed by Hello Games shined at E3, but after massive delays, when it was finally released in 2016, it didn’t live up to the hype. No Man’s Sky failed to deliver the same graphical capabilities shown in earlier […]

It’s never a good idea for businesses to plan a huge sale based off a holiday or memorial day where people lost their lives. One Calgary real estate agent learned this month. Real estate agent Gary “Mr. Action” Fayerman decided it would be a great idea to use Remembrance Day, specifically an image of a soldier’s […]
