Is this office woman's erotic fellating of a Popsicle sexual harassment?

(via Creativity)
The Association of Finnish Lawyers knows. Or, at least they will, after studying the surveillance tape for hours, days if necessary. They will also watch hour after hour of office blowjob porn scenes. They will force the accused woman to recreate the act on a dildo, for comparison's sake. Then, they will tell you if the Popsicle Incident was in fact sexual harassment. Then, you will get reamed by their bill. To troll many more law firm ads—most of them laughably bad—click here.

Tom Ford sniffing fragrance strips pulled out of a naked woman's butt (nsfw).

(click image, From the latest Russian GQ, via Jezebel)
Why? Because Ford is the edgiest fucker in fashion.
He put a fragrance bottle over an oiled woman's bald pussy (nsfw).
He sells eyewear by shoving a middle finger in a woman's mouth.
And he sells menswear with a naked woman grabbing a man's cock. (nsfw).
You are so much less edgy than him, you should just give it up already.

Finland is home to the wackiest McDonald's ads.

(click ad, via) A pig's snout made of cheese? Ho-kay, you crazy Finns. Previously, the same agency, DDB Helsinki, produced this udderly ridiculous ad for McDonald's milkshakes. I mean, it is a wonderfully simple graphic ad that I will add to my Ads that make Art Directors Touch their Genitals archive. But, thinking of pig parts that might be in my bacon combined with that fake-looking cheese ain't appetizing at all. Related: The disgusting McDonald's finger fries ad via Brazil.

It's your sexxxy 1970s underwear ad update.

(click ads) FUNTAWEAR! Roller Disco! Coke and Cock! Black guy's got the ruler pair, of course. "Here I come!" "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!" It was a time when men were lions, and everything was shaggy—even the Love Rug™. You wore Cannabis cologne, and it was always Time To Fuck. The 70s. I was a tad too young to get laid in that decade, maybe you got some of that musky action?

The new Lynx interactive blowjob video (sfw).

Sorry to give away the surprise. Anyway, if you don't want to watch it all the way through to get to your interactive instructions, just start the video, click the progress bar, and then press the 5,7,3, and 8 keys, in that order. The effect is called "shortcut scrubbing." The responsible agency, Razorfish, says it's the first time it's ever been used in an ad. So, congratulate them.

New Paris subway etiquette posters are wonderfully goofy.

Anyway, RATP, Paris's public transport operator, wants the Frenchies to stop acting like animals on the Metro—specifically frogs, sloths, bulls, and, llamas. Do llamas spit a lot?

Have you seen this ridiculously sexist JC Penney commercial yet?

It hasn't gotten very many views. I've had it bookmarked for awhile. Sociological Images weighed in on it a couple of weeks ago.
For you younger readers, the woman is actress Phoebe Cates in a scene from the 1982 film "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." In the scene, Judge Reinhold's character is sitting on the toilet masturbating while dreaming of Phoebe coming out of the pool and removing her top. Cates was about 18 years-old at the time.
Nice way to catch the attention of 40+ year-old horndog sports guys, I guess—using video of a girl about the age of their daughters. Not sure how well it's gonna sell Van Heusen clothing, though. At least it isn't deviously subtle?

Did you see the Carlsberg anti-biker "viral" video yet?

It's already been posted several places, but seeing as this is the slowest day ever on copyranter, I thought I'd try to get some feedback about it from you, the smart reader.

What is a Spanish government official doing butt-naked in a bus ad (nsfw)?

He is Nicolás Chica, the Secretary General of the Union for Small Farmers and Ranchers in Granada. Copy translation: "Consuming Fruits and Vegatables of Spain is...Natural. And those of Granada Exceptional." Here's the TV spot from the campaign, where he is also naked. I'm assuming this effort was in response to the e-coli scare there earlier this summer. But I'm now scared in a different way. Note the big cucumber on the left. The Spanish are known for randy political ads, for example: This graphic boob-groping poster (nsfw), and this socialist TV spot which equated voting to orgasming.

Two new :15 commercials for Hope lingerie use two of the most insulting cliches about women as punchlines: They can't drive (above), and they can't control their spending (below).

The latest "diversity" ads of the lily-white ad industry.

(click ads, all scanned from Adweek)
The September 12th print issue of Adweek featured a special advertising section for the 2011 ADCOLOR® Awards. Several ad agencies jumped at the chance to create a piece of communication that attempted to convey that they're not houses of exclusion.
Top Left—TBWA, an agency with a "creative" reputation (Skittles, etc), creatively created a run-on diversity word. It gave me a honking headache trying to read it. Grade: C-.
Top Right—DraftFCB, an agency with a questionable reputation when it comes to race sensitivity in ads, honored their CEO honoree with an ugly, unsubtle LABEL metaphor ad. "Street smart." Terrible. Grade: D-.
Bottom Left—Wieden+Kennedy, an agency with a creative reputation (Nike, Old Spice, etc.), went with an ironic "white" ad in honoring their CEO honoree. It at least acknowledges that the ad biz is "diversity-challenged," but white Dan is "changing things." They didn't list any of those things, I presume, out of respect for the ad's black space. Grade: C+.
Bottom Right—BBH, another agency with a creative reputation, wins the diversity-off. Create something unarguably pithy, and get the fuck out of there. Grade: B.
