Within the crowded modern markets, modern market-ists certainly don’t have it easy. There’s so much information going around, so many people trying to sell their thing and build their profit, that sometimes advertisers engage some desperate stunts to try and stand out from the crowd. Needless to say, in certain occasions some ads effectively succeed in doing so, but for all the wrong reasons.
Have you ever come across a publicity that left you utterly puzzled and confused, all the while thinking “Were they actually trying to sell me on something or just chase me away? Are they trying to confuse me?”.
I certainly have thought so, and in fact it’s been happening so often that I decided to put together a list of my favorite BADVERTISEMENTS out there, so you can take your best shot at guessing what the hell it’s all about.
Let’s start with this bunch from OSO, a brand of food wrap. Okay, so they’re trying to tell us that if we don’t buy their product… our food will try to do stupid things? Shouldn’t the slogan read “If you don’t buy this, your food will try to kill itself in moronic fashion!”, or something like that? I’m really lost, here.
Okay, so next we have this brillian set from Aquafresh. Continue Reading »
To every coin there are two sides. Let’s consider this, for example; in one side, it’s great news the presidential run of George W. Bush Jr. is finally over, since his absence is equated by most as a good chance the USA will finally get out from the dark pits of recession. On the other side…
Next: his finest moments!
… well, the Internet just won’t be as fun, now that such an influential and far-reaching comedian has been removed from the spotlight. With this in mind, I decided to make one last homage, with some of the top highlights and Bushisms illustrating his remarkable and illustrious political career. And i quote: Continue Reading »
What can I say? House MD is currently one of my favorite tv shows out there. I think that characters features a remarkably impressive asinine charm; he’s the kind of fiend we all love to hate. Fortunately, there’s a character in the series which keeps him in balance (sort of), even though he has been somewhat stray during the early 5th Season. Well, for better and for worse it seems like Wilson is back on the show’s character roster, and as a way to celebrate, I figured it would be nice posting this compilation showcasing the best House vs. Wilson moments. Those two might put up quite the act and they’re always messing with each other, but you can tell they’re actually good friends. What’s a friendship without a little bitter-sweet confrontation, anyway?
Do you remember what it was like to go through High School? Some people think of that as the best time of their life, while others think it’s the worse. Then, some people think of their graduation speeches as a chance to say a lot of senseless crap, and then some people take that opportunity to make something innovative and memorable. Case in point, I’m about to show with with a very special video from a peculiar kid who falls somewhere in between, while successfully captivating the crowd’s imagination. Ah… those kids nowadays.
Well, what do you know? This might just be one of the most curious animalities ever to surface the web ever since an obese kitten was paired with the archtypical cheeseburger. I just found this website which is all about photos of upside down dogs… now, you really didn’t see that one coming, now did you?
I’m wondering what people will think about next… maybe a website focusing slanted parakeets, or drunken guinea pigs? It just goes to show that people seem to really love animals, god bless the internet. And we love those animals even more dearly when they’re upside down. I mean look at those creatures… aren’t they just adorable and cute? Yeah, well go ahead and have fun browsing the upside down dog archives. Just don’t forget to come back here for new reminders why we like it here
In its 17th annual words of the year vote, the American Dialect Society voted “plutoed” as the word of the year, in a run-off against climate canary. To pluto is to demote or devalue someone or something, as happened to the former planet Pluto when the General Assembly of
the International Astronomical Union decided Pluto no longer met its definition of a planet.Source
Okay, so you have probably heard about the de-promotion of pluto the planet (not pluto the dog, he’s still held in high remarks), but chances are you didn’t know that an actual new word had been coined out of the surrounding affair. So please update your dictionaries, and take stock of what “getting plutoed” means… while hoping you never have to experience that personally.
Yeah, we all know science can be cruel, it its self-ascribed righteousness and delusions of “objectivity”… but come on… the lil’ guy had been hanging tight for so many years along with the rest of the solar system. Was there really an actual need to get technical and pick on him… actually pick him out from the bunch? Shame on you, scientific people. For all your brains’ worth, it’s clear to me you have no hearts, and you’ve just proved so with this pluto issue.
You might was well hope science doesn’t get pluto’ed someday when they discover the next best thing. You hear me? Now LEAVE PLUTO ALONE! You don’t know what it’s been through! You don’t know what it’s like to be a floating mass in the outskirts of a solar system. You don’t know, do you? With all your scientific methods, and measurement scales and whatnot, you really don’t know what it’s like to be a planet. So, leave pluto alone! I mean, let him join the rest of planets like in the good old days. Can’t we just get back to being a good and happy solar system, like we used to?
Well… ARRGHH! What can I say? Apparently, yesterday (Sep 19th) was “talk like a pirate day“. If you thought I’d leave such occasion go by unmarked, then ya best thing again, mate! ARRRGH, And since my own piratey jargon is not so quivering hip as I possibly might wish, I won’t purpose to embarass myself by making a futile attempt of engaging a conversation (monologue) in pirate dialect. Sooo, instead I’ve rounded up a selection of some my bestest favourite scurvy dog talk from across the vast youtube landscapes. Arrgh, enjoy, and rest assured that next year I’ll be joining the ranks of willing and able vocabulist pirateers… just as soon as I memorize this.
Allright, children! Let’s think of today’s slice as a public service announcement, concerning a sensible but important issue from within our contemporary society. Let’s get on with it using a simple metaphor: Maybe you can’t see it right away, so first you should step away from your computer screen. Can you see it, already? If not, take a step further back, while keeping sight on the screen? Is something coming up? Well, when you manage to see the surprise guest with your own two eyes, maybe it’s best to run away! That goes for the great offline wilderness, too! You should always keep a delicate balance between trusting strangers and being cautious on who you trust. In case of doubt, double check with your parents!
I don’t usually take much pleasure into cutting slices focusing political themes, particularly not when it’s a sad, depressing and cowboy-like political theme; however today I’ll make an exception. You see, It’s not everyday that I find a graphic evidence which is capable of showcasing the true genius of the soon-to-be no longer president of the USA. But today a fresh friend of mine forwarded this little cartoon and I simply couldn’t resist putting it here for everyone to see.
So without further due, just make sure to click the picture to get an enlarged version - but I guess you know that, otherwise I might as well get you a little flag for you to play with, right?
I don’t know about yourself, but I particularly enjoy animals who are capable of showcasing personality and a sense of humor. Such as this kitten in the video, for example, who’s quite good at playing peek-a-boo. This is one seriously sneaky cat, I mean… if I didn’t know better, I’d probably say this is somekind of a … ninja cat. It’s a good thing I know better, isn’t it? Now do me a thing and enjoy the video while I rustle off and get some sleep. Stay tuned for more daily reminders why we like it here, and enjoy your living as wel as your pets.
