Yes, please, can I pay for your spam!?
October 2, 2008 – 9:00 am
Marisa pointed out this hilarious SPAM FAIL. After registering for free tickets to a concert, she was prompted to pay $25… for “xxxxx” spam. Really. Pay for spam. Though it is so badly mangled that it is unclear if they were selling advertising or selling spam. Overall, total spam FAIL [...]
To Offset or Not to Offset…
September 28, 2008 – 9:13 pm
I know, total cliche’d title. Oh well.
I bought carbon offsets on a Continental flight. I particularly like the fact that you could choose your own science… and your own cost…

Um, a picture (of words) is worth a thousand words:
Do I even have to explain why this is so retrograde? Oh Facebook.

Orbitz Ad: Distinct Lack of Imagination
August 17, 2008 – 9:00 am
“Michael Kraus saw the alert about the long taxi line. So he called his brother who lives nearby and got a ride home. Now he owes him a turkey sandwich.”
So advertising is about imagining potential futures. It is about hope, and aspirations and dreams. Is getting a ride home from the [...]

August 4, 2008 – 9:00 am
Louis Deenan is the World’s Worst Person. He is going into marketing. He says,
“I think it’s the career path that will best utilize my networking skills and my ability to think outside the box,” said Deenan, whose smug, gloating tone and shit-eating smile just make you want to punch his goddamn teeth [...]
A Blast from the Ad Past
July 16, 2008 – 11:23 pm
Funny or Die posted up some golden oldies from the thirties. These are the choicest cuts of retroactive poor taste. Taglines include “More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette,” “They’re happy because they eat lard,” and my favorite, “Eat! Eat! Eat! And always stay thin” which is an ad for sanitized tape worms. [...]
