sometimes, I just feel like doing this to some people...



*minus the yellow jump suit (mine would be blue).

UPDATE: Or just watching it. It makes me feel like 10 times better about the day. Monkey tongues and cheesecake.

Listen. Talib.



Thanks Maya!

end of days.

does anyone ever wonder how we can afford $800 billion and the "war on terror" at the same time? 
Just asking.

nothing is ever good enough for those damn designers.

agency attack ads.

eewwWEEEEE, ad agency Karsh/Hagan is taking of the gloves with this new ad campaign targeted directly at Crispin Porter + Bogusky.

In particular...this campaign below was mocked and attacked. 

With headlines like "Crispin is a sprinter. Sprinters are runners who haven't done any endurance training," and ripping off the artwork, the few ads below are an unadulterated stab to the jugular. 


Ok....the first thing that popped into my head was..."This isn't School Daze....this is suppose to be a professional agency, trying to win clients over with these FRAT-astic antics." Then after a few minutes I thought to myself, "this is some ballsy sh*t." And now...I'm in limbo. What do you guys think?

Lame or Just ballsy enough to be considered cool? Low Brow or "a blow to the man?" I'm on the fence really. I think my interest in this piece of ad news may stem from the simple fact, that these faux ads seem like they could be the beginning of an agency ad war. And lets face it, with the economy in the pooper...what else do creative types have to do for fun... with budgets being slashed left and right (besides looking for new jobs...ewwww, too soon?). *knock on A LOT of wood*

lets get ready to ruummmmmble!

C.H.A.N.G.E. the acronym.

ever wonder what CHANGE really stands for?


Someone...anyone....why does this man still have a job? If the tides were turned....

poor peggy.


This, is a serious issue. 

It is one thing to intervene when someone has a drinking problem. However, it is a down right injustice when one cannot have a drink after work due to their race, creed or species. The English pub Omalley's, has done just that. 

Meet Peggy. Peggy is a 12 yr old Mare that use to have the same rights that the rest of us had. For several years, Peggy would enjoyed a pint of John Smiths' bitter and a packet of onion crisps as she stood along side her owner at the bar. That's one beer and some chips. 

Well, now the pub has a new landlord. And the landlord has prohibited Peggy from her god givin right to have a drink and enjoy her onion crisps. Onion crisps....for christ sake! I thought the Brits were supposed to be the civilized one?



I mean...where is PETA when you really need them? 

perhaps the best way to choose who you will vote for.

have them, their spouses and their party cohorts fight to the death. 
you will regret not spending at least a 1/2 hour of your work day playing kungfu election.

And here I thought my hero list had reached its quota.

You knew it was coming...



And who told Queen Latifah to come out of hiding to represent hot slut of the week Gwen Ifle?Am I the only one who thinks that the Queen should never set foot on any stage unless she is staring in  Set it Off 2?

UPDATE: Also....Living Single, the movie (If Sex and the City can have a movie, so can Living Single).

give your hair some real body.





I have this sudden urge to buy some Pantene Shampoo.
Hmmmmm.......

its the GAP's turn to tell us how to vote.

Proving that there is no shortage of celeb ads telling us to vote in the world, the GAP has made their own set. Forget about those uppity celebs that talk down to you...lets all go shopping.   

Sarah Bell. I dont know why she is famous? But I will vote on anything she wants me to vote on.  The trees. The peas. The seas. Keep rhyming....and I will keep voting. 


Bill Mahr. Oh man...the gap must've been trippin on E when they gave Bill Mahr his own spot. Vote for BBQs. Ha.....

(I think I like this one the best)


Olivia Munn. ???? 
Apparently some host on some obscure cable channel. Check out her other skillz here. 


Well......
Ok, so the famous people are not that famous, but at least I got through the whole thing. And I don't feel like a puppy getting scolded for just pee peeing on the rug...this time.
