HOTT new fashion sensation

I saw this commercial the other night and honestly thought it was a parody. When people write infomercials, do they do that on purpose? Seriously.

Well, enjoy the new must-have pant of the season.

Summer's Eve, please fire your agency

Have you seen this yet?

The worst example of an "advertorial" I have ever seen.

Read step #1. Yes, Summer's Eve, thanks for the tip. You'll help me "feel my best" on the morning of my next interview. If I get the job, I'll owe it all to you. Barf.

I realize that promoting a product like Summer's Eve is a monstrous challenge. But I'd take it on to save the world from their current advertising. Clearly, you do not know women or how they really feel about your product if you're running this nonsense. Pay a visit to a branding agency and see how they do.

When Infomercials Go Viral

Seriously, seeing another infomercial at the top of the viral charts was making me wonder if all this concepting is for the birds.

But then I watched the spot, and in spite of all its "dynamic inertia," remembered why it is we do what we do.

Watch for yourself. It totally sets the bar.

Burger King officially goes all fratguy on us

Man, their work used to be so good. It was original and daring without resorting to lowbrow stuff.

This, however, ruins all that. Don't forget to read the body copy!

Thanks to AgencySpy for mocking it.

Toronto Squash

I thought this article from marketing news blog, caffeinemarketing, offered some good commentary. Check it out!

D&G... now featuring naked women!

Revolutionary.

Che Magazine

Here's a charming ad I ran across for Che Magazine.

Two for the price of one here folks. Dixie Cups love women and the environment!

Shame on Tom Ford. Sigh.

BRAILLE LEGS - RUBBISH!

This ad (featured in Archive volume 3 2007) by Thiago Grossi and Nicholas Bergantin (students at the Miami Ad School) is absolute rubbish. Shame on the students. Shame on Archive.
