This year Old Navy and Bannana Republic would like to bring you some nondenominational wishes. Gap had some trouble deciding on a specific holiday, so  hit them all with cheerleaders (Cheer=cheer, get it?) chanting “Go Christmas, Go Hanukkah, Go Kwanzaa, Go Solstice.” And what can you say to that except, god damn consumer brands and [...]

It’s not that I believed that he got the seat legitimately, but hearing his answers to the direct quotes and questions just made my heart sink. I am disgusted by the situation, [...]

The precise amount of time per day your being pushed to consume is 61 minutes per day. The amount of time your exposed to screens (computer, cellphone, gps) is around 8.5 hours a day.
Wow, [...]

Have you seen the newfangled Tropicana packaging? Probably not since it blends right into the generic brand stuff, so that you’re all, “Oh damn it, they’re out of pulpy-free goodness.”
Never fear though. The glorious guerrilla army of overseers of American branding iconography have staged an all out revelotution of angry phone calls calling the new [...]

Whadda ya know, networks are just as broke as you! And just like those of you have decided to drink away your sorrows or sell your body for sex, they are shopping prime time ad space to sin-filled categories that were formerly banned.
On Sunday, 15 cities saw an Absolut Vodka ad during the Grammy Awards and [...]

Above is the ad that M&M’s ran in this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.  I am getting the jibees (technical term) about it. I was pretty sure from every other commercial,  that the candy coated shell was in fact, their skin and not clothing. So this ad, which is utterly sexist if it is her [...]

By far the funniest ad that aired last night during the Super Bowl was the one for Hulu.com featuring Alec Baldwin, if only because it featured Alec Baldwin and he is God (or in this case, an alien God).  Aside from the whole brain eating thing, it was far less violent than some and there were no [...]

Jack in the Box’s ‘Hang in There Jack’ commercial ran during the Super Bowl last night and is morbid, gross, and completely void of humor. See the spokesperson Jack get hit by a bus in a pretty realistic way.Har har har? Death is hilarious and sure does make me hungry?
No. So wrong. To make it [...]

I don’t care for football (gasp!), but I will be getting wasted and watching commercials this Sunday. I am sure many of you will be doing the same.
Since Bowl ads cost around $3 million (yeah really, not a typo), you would think they would all be amazing. And some are. Some however, are definitely not.

‘Veggie Love’: PETA’s Banned Super Bowl Ad
NBC has rejected the above ad for their Super Bowl time slot, saying “depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards.” I don’t see the big deal. It’s not like it’s Janet Jackson’s nipple.
It’s also not as graphic as the viral Durex baloon animals ad.  Click through to see.

There is just so much wrong with the new Burger King Whopper Virgins campaign, it’s hard to know where to begin. The premise is that BK takes its Whopper and the McDonald’s Whopper out in to the wild’s known as NOT America and gives the native people a taste test.
1) Let’s get the obvious [...]
