It's the new trend: let's-try-to-sell-something-the-client-won't-understand.
Totally a girl who came up with that idea
a car, the fin thingy of a plane and the sea.
motorway, airway, seaway.
i do need a vacation.
musn't go to puma store, must save money. otherwise it might never happen...
makes sense.
"I'm sitting here all bummed, because I'll probably lose control of my car and wind up in the water.
Oh, what's this? A chance I can escape my fate by shopping at the Puma store?! I can't believe I didn't realize sooner! Duh!"
Advertising sucks.
That car would never make it up that incline.
I'm sure it made sense in the original Japanese version.
i just bought some puma shoes at the new union sq store, and then this past weekend, i DID drive my car into a large body of water. WTF? this is false advertising. im taking my shoes back.
Car falling into a huge piece of bacon? That might actually make more sense.
That line - "it might never happen" - is actually stolen from AbFab Season 3 (episode title, "Jealous"). And yes, I know it's totally gay that I recognized that.
Falling into the Hudson River on the drive to New Jersey??
Other "If..."
If man lands on the moon the day after you drown a girl while driving drunk.
Please- that car would have totally bottomed out once it reached the top of that ramp thingy. It should be hovering, front wheel hanging over the edge, back wheel on the back ramp, undercarriage getting a how's your father by the ramp's flat top.
hmm that ad has no punctuation therefore the lack thereof made me smile in fact it made me cheer up it
Damn you, valet_of_the_dolls! *I* was going to point out the Ab Fab plagiarism! And, yes, I'm totally gay, and proud of it!
wait, there's a puma store over there now? wow.
I think the sign means the shark just farted. Makes total sense now.
Forget the shoes, I'm calling Puma right now to find out what tires have the grip to balance that car.
Seriously though, are they advertising car shoes?
IT MEANS YOUR FOOT SLIPPING OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T BUY OFFICIALLY LICENSED FERRARI DRIVING SHOES FROM PUMA WHICH I DIDN'T BECAUSE BRIGHT RED SHOES ARE TACKY IN AN I'M A FERRARI OWNER RIGHT DOWN TO MY TOES KIND OF WAY AND BECAUSE I BOUGHT GRAY PILOTIS WHICH IN ADDITION TO BEING MADE WITH FIRE-RETARDANT NOMEX GO WAY BETTER WITH THE SILVER COLOR OF MY CAR I DO HAVE A RED FERRARI HAT THOUGH.
brilliant, ronbo.
Union Square f***ing eats punctuation for breakfast. A few doors down, a deli called Toasties has the following banner out front:
TOASTIES NOW HAS BROOKLYN LAGER GRAB A PINT YOUR FROM NEW YORK
I like to think it's not water, but an inverted padded wall... or, maybe a nice fluffy comforter. I'm getting sleepy.

Or, just a padded floor, because an inverted wall makes no sense.

Somewhere a proofreader is crying his eyes out over being stetted on trying to correct that slack-ass sentence. It's the kind of rhetorical crap that agencies think is counter-culture, when in reality it's just lazy and boring. If you're going to break the rules of grammar and punctuation, then break them for a reason. Sheesh.
slinky: you're an idiot.
incidentally, i've checked out your site in the past (at our dear CR's recommendation) and found it occasionally amusing, yet more often unpolished or downright cringe-inducing. book brisket? bar-b contact? resume rib? yikes. totally a boy who came up with that.
I believe it means that if you buy Puma shoes you’ll be one of the cool kids, and therefore have no need to try to kill yourself for being such a dork.
the graphic design bothers me that they're SO CLOSE TO THE DANGER CUT OUT ZONE!!!
