Meatloaf & Tiffany

Clearly needed the money. But AT&T? I mean really, Meatloaf & Tiffany?



Here's how that meeting went:

1 board room, 4 adjunkies.

1: C'mon you guys we've been at this for hours. We need something fresh!
2: A phone shaped car!
4: A woman walks along and it's raining phones!
3: Hold it. I got it. Listen up, this is golden. We get an aged rocker, past his prime and a kid that looks just like his son. They scream-sing about getting a gophone.
2: Oh! Oh! And then, we can have an older chick popstar play his mom, someone like...Tiffany!
4: Yes! And she can be carrying a huge slab of raw meat while also singing about the gophone!
1: I think you guys are on to something...
3: MEATLOAF! You see how I did that? Slab of meat, meatloaf. Genius.
2: And we're done.

Fallen Prey

"30 Rock" cleverly worked this sponsor into one of their episodes.

I didn't think it was real until I saw an ad on the side of a city bus.


I mean, "fortified with optimism"?

It looks absolutely unappealing, but I totally have to try it.

Dammit that subliminal type messaging which was actually very obvious worked on me!

Boobs Sell More Than Bras, Who Knew?

Really? This is a global candid camera trick, no?


Aside from the whole naked fembot offensiveness, how can you think you'd be taken seriously with an entire campaign based on being #1 twenty five years from now?

Did You Hear That?

It's the sound of a law suit waiting to happen.

Can we please take a moment to discuss how absolutely terrifying this is?

I'm pretty sure I would have peed myself if I had been walking alone on this street and heard that.

It's bad enough I'm constantly visually assaulted with advertisements, but using my head as a speaker?

That's got to be breaking some kind of law.

WTF?

Seriously? Aside from the fact that this is horribly degrading, it's also incredibly irritating. This big breasted blonde bounces up and down behind a fence, spreading her legs as only cartoon women can manage, over and over and over again. I'm trying to look up a word in an online dictionary and this is the eye sore advertising distraction I have to suffer? Soak the girl for a ringtone? WTF?

Mercedes At Loss For New Way To Sell Product

Does anyone else feel Mercedes-Benz's Fashion Week campaign sets us back a few (hundred) years?


If you really wanted to go with the whole 'buy-this-car-and-long-legged-hot-women-will-drape-themselves-all-over-you' vibe, you should have just asked Jani Lane to share his archived photos from the Cherry Pie shoot. I'm sure he would have been happy to oblige.

Ad Nauseam: Without Our Product A Life Of Losertude Is Just Around The Corner!

Ok look. I know myspace is prime real estate for dating sites to advertise, but come on. This is just beyond obnoxious:


Boyfriend Season? Is that anything like Pink Is The New Red Season? Or is it more like Sugar Daddy Season? Because personally I wouldn't mind going through a gold digging phase. I don't really care so much if my new red shirt is passé.
