Best Anti-Piracy Ad Ever

I’m not sure where this is from, but this is one of the best spoofs on those anti-piracy ads that have been running in movie theaters the last few years.  Enjoy. :-)

Job Interviews in Second Life

In the virtual world of “Second Life,” things are getting very real. This Sims-like online community has become so strangely expansive that it has its own currency which is actually worth money, stocks to be traded, online relationships, and now “real” job fairs which include interviews for actual positions in the real-life business world.
Maybe […]

NDP Subliminal Porn Accusation

This is one of the oddest stories I have read in awhile.  Canadian politics in particular tend to be pretty dull and repetitive, even when the various parties are sniping at one another.  Subliminal advertising is something new.  You know that someone at NDP campaign headquarters stuck this thing in as a private joke thinking […]

Pamela Anderson Google Ad

This must be photoshopped.  Of course, even if it is, Google should really think about putting this up as one of its themes, that is if Pamela Anderson wouldn’t sue their asses.  Good luck.

World’s Biggest Penis Auctioned

This extinct walrus must be proud.  His four-and-a-half foot fossilized penis bone sold fro a whopping $8000 at a Beverely Hills auction this past Sunday.  No word on who purchased the auspicious item, but perhaps they’re compensating for something? ;-)  Read all about it below:

A fossilized penis bone from an extinct walrus went for a […]

Teacher Fired After Winning Date with Porn Star

I guess you really should think about the consequences of winning a contest before entering it. 
I can’t imagine that this guy would think his school district would look kindly upon one of their employees going on a nationally publicized date with a porn star.  Admittedly, what one does in their own bedroom is their […]

Hitler Used in Pizza Ad

This has got to be the dumbest advertising idea ever conceived… that is unless the pizza joint wanted a neo-Nazi clientele.  THINK before you pay for such a huge billboard! 
…Which they arguably have not done replacing Hitler with Pope Benedict XVI.  I guess they thought this way they’d only be offending Catholics.  Ugh.  Read all […]

YouTube Sells Ad Space on Videos

This is very disappointing indeed.  YouTube has decided to begin selling ad space overlayed on top of much of its professionally created videos as well as on some uploaded by amateurs.  I guess Google isn’t making enough money as is?
