German Shepherd puppies are the cutest.

(click, via)
Puppy is a girl. I had a black and white Shepherd named Zorro (he had a black mask around his eyes) growing up. Neighborhood bully threw rocks at him when he was tied up in the side yard. One day, Zorro snapped his thick chain and chomped the bully on the ass, sent him running home balling his eyes out. His dad visited my dad; my 6'-4" dad told his shithead dad to fuck off. Two previous cute dog pics here.

"Walking Dead" in-theater stunt is killer.

Shot in South Africa last Fall. The fake Rom-Com trailer copy is excellent. Good zombie, too. Much better than this overrated in-theater stunt by Carlsberg.

If you work in advertising, you've probably seen some of these, and some of you thought they were cool. No, they're not cool. See many more here.

Vodka billboard harshly insults NYC hookers.

(click, @ 27th and 7th Ave.)
Not content with pissing off NYC's Jews in December, Wodka recently erected this streetwalker unfriendly board fairly close to the streetwalker-heavy Penn Station area. Of course, it's also an escort-heavy area, so now those upscale ladies (and men) will have an excuse to raise their prices (*points out billboard to John*). Thanks Tom.

Hilarious, unfortunate newspaper ad juxtaposition of the week.

(click, via The Daily What) McCain, I'm thinking, is going to get a makegood for that fuck-up. I mean, their ad headline perfectly, horribly answers the editorial. Compare the above to this massive contextual ad fail, via the UK's Daily Mirror.

Ireland presents: the sleaziest mobile network commercial ever.

For "48", the "phone network only for those aged 18-22." Here's a radio spot from campaign ("spanking some MILF"—don't think that would fly in the US).
As a YouTube commenter said: "I ordered a 48 sim card and immediately contracted chlamydia." Another one opined: "The greatest pile of jaded horseapples I've seen in a long time."
Last year, Ireland presented us with the sleaziest soda commercial ever.
Thanks, O'Reilly.

I now never want to eat fish again. Also, this song's stuck in my head. Also, the unappetizing human/seafood hybrid visual has already been done and done. You're selling food, doofuses, not a sci-fi movie. Ad agency: Hub Group, Melbourne, Australia. Related: here's the best fish head ad ever, for the WWF.

Target Toy Sale living display is AWESOMESAUCE.

(Click, via. Sorry, it's my first time writing awesomesauce. I won't do it again.)
Like these real plastic army men (promoting a Brazilian toy store), THIS makes me want to be a 10-year-old again. Not to play with jerky fake wrestling figurines, but to go TOY SHOPPING. For army men. And Hot Wheels. And big fucking Tonka trucks. And other cool crap that was the key to me turning out like the non-Metrosexual tough guy I am.
I know W&K is Target's American ad agency, but if anybody knows what agency did this, please comment.

Brazilian "Rolling Stone" ad features massive typo.

This ad was produced in English, it is not just translated for publicity purposes. "But...spell check didn't catch it!!!," bellowed the Creative Director (in Portuguese). Ad agency Fischer & Fischer. Related: the greatest typo of all time?

That's Racist: MSG fortune-cookies Jeremy Lin.

Hey, I ordered my Floor General Lin chicken with no MSG! (sorry)
According to the Sporting News, NYC's MSG network (which I can't watch, thanks to the MSG-Time Warner Cable baby fight) posted this graphic right after the Knicks win over the Kings last night. Yao, that's tasteless!

Vintage clothing ads, minus the clothing (NSFW).

(click ads, via) For the Second Chance 2nd-hand clothing boutique in Istanbul. 60s, 70s, and 80s. Sorry gals and gay men; no man butt or cock. See, Ricky Perry? Turkey isn't run by Islamic terrorists, otherwise this place would suicide-bombed back to the birth of Muhammad. Compare the campaign to these sick Cannes Lion winning ads for a London vintage clothing store from 2010.

MI6 places covert non-ad in major UK papers.

(click non-ad, via)
Pretty cheeky ruse to reel in potential birdwatchers. The UK's SIS placed this innocuous, logo-less essay, full-page, in papers such as the Sunday Times and The Week. The idea is wonderful, though the copy is a bit stale. (To be expected whenever a government organization is involved in creative work. The ending is excellent, though.) It's certainly well above the CIA's recent, staid ads (examples here and here). Ad Agency: M&C Saatchi.

The foulest seven Buzzwords ever heard in a business meeting.

Finally: The follow-up to the NSFW Skittles parody commercial "Cumshot the Rainbow".

Remember the hilarious, raunchy NSFW Skittles (Jittles) spoof spot last Summer? Well, here—suspiciously only seven months later—is the encore. I won't give away the ending. But all is not sweetness in Candyland. Created again by the L.A. directing team Cousins (who lost the real Skittles work when TBWA\Chiat\Day lost the account). Here's the extended cut. Thanks Josh.

Oh my goodness gosh golly! Yes! It's real! Buy it here! Now all you pretend Mad Men and Women have something to play with while you watch your favorite adulterer! He stands up! Make him reenact office scenes in only his underwear and socks! A million other uses I can't think of! He's certainly more realistic than this terrible-looking Don Draper doll in a trilby hat.

The two dumbest corporate Valentine's Day ads ever.

Dead calf—hilarious. Dictator?—LOL, sure, drop those bloomers! I'll stab you in the heart! I'll shoot you in the heart! (Maybe rethink that cop relationship.)
