AIDS is like having sex with Hitler. Duhhhh!

A hot and heavy sex scene with Hitler....because AIDS is a mass murderer. The only comment I have is, why did it take so long for someone to make this Hitler-AIDS connection and execute it in an ad?

Wow. Check out the print executions here and here. Not the best photoshop I've seen in my life. At least the spot has that skinemax feel to it. I always wondered what Hitler's "O-face" looked like. All they are missing is Tom Cruise watching from a dark corner (in the name of scientology) and whispering "Valkerie was a great movie" to himself.  BTW, the spot may be a little NSFW. 

Agency: das comitee, Hamburg, Germany (allegedly)

UPDATE: Video was taken down on youtube. Try to see it here. 

The Linkdown.

1. Manhattan hotel perfect for "fucking in public." No, seriously, go get you voyeurism on. 

2. Apparently the perfect social network to let people know about your flow. And this is why I hate twitter.  

3. Three Frames.

4. Crazy doctor puts out crazy ads. And somehow he still had patients....oh American.

5. The 25 Douchiest Colleges in America. At #18, my college is the home of the marketing douche. What's yours?

6. Mike Vick was graciously welcomed back to his career. Oh, to be loved.

7. 10 Reasons Superman is better than Jesus. 

8. Thieves clean out apple store in 31 seconds. I would say I'm impressed, but they didn't grab any chargers or cases....and that's just bad planning. (p.s. doesn't the guard look like he is in on the heist?).

9. What if Rick James was The Hulk?

mile high humpday club.

DAMN
so ive been doing a lot of traveling. nothing fancy. but being bicoastal is tiring.

well this list (im not using imeem anymore cause its bunk) is for yall to get your mile high on.

so i chose these two songs.
1. Jefferson Airplane- goes with the theme.
2. jay-z- cause his album is coming out next fri and cause this song mentions mile high club.

thats all.

A Flowchart from my Parents (and perhaps yours).

I love my parents to death. I swear I do. But if I get another phone call regarding how to use a computer...I might have to visit a divorce court. I have no problem doing stuff for them on the computer, on my end. And the worse part is that they think you can help them over the phone. You cant call me to ask me where the escape button is on the keyboard (true story). Anyway...I am currently printing this flowchart out for both of my parents. Because the key to figuring out computers...is figuring them out. Not remembering them step by step.

Bad Ideas.

No, brilliantly bad ideas. Im guessing, originality is NOT a strong suit of the film industry. And this guy is playing Gargamel, allegedly. Whap, whap!

Levi...uhhh, comemorates Ted Kennedy.

Jeans. Ted Kennedy. You get it? Yeah....me niether. Nice try though (but not really).

She Don't Want a Man. Asher Roth feat. Keri Hilson.

Cool song. This is the first Asher Roth song I have liked. He has been on the scene for awhile. "Underground," I think is what the kids call it (and on youtube). 

Let's get to the Tennis.

The Tennis Channel. It's kinda weak that they are including players in this spot(which could've been visually very stimulating) from decades ago. I get that tennis is one of those sports that truly idolizes ALL of their past greats....but at some point the sport needs to start living in the here and now. I love Agassi as mush as anyone, but they would have gotten alot more, showing alot less in this spot. The only thing I can't support is the statue of liberty serving. That's corny as hell....it's cobby. About as corny/cobby as paying for the tennis channel, when you can watch the US Open for free.

Time to Read.

Ok, this is kinda cool. Cool enough to drop $1400 on....that's debatable. Not debatable for me, but perhaps for you.

A concept interesting for this clock which posts words instead of the figures. The minutes are indicated by of LEDs. Conceived by Biegert & Funk and baptized Qlocktwo, it is already available in several colors and various languages.

Hot Chics: Joan Holloway

Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway on Madmen. I've deemed Chritina as hot on this blog before, but I wanted to clarify....if I had to pick, I'd pick Joan over Christina. You know what I'm sayin? Eh, eh, eh?

Offensive Ads?

Sooooo, Craig at KMBA asked a good question- are these ads above offensive? At first glance, yes. I'm so very offended. I'm offended by the lack of cultural sensitivity. In it's raw form, this is a woman in black face. Do you know what blackface is? AMC's Madmen certainly does. Then I'm offended at the lack of concept. What is this ad about? Why are these visuals the way they are?  What the deal with the fellatio reference? Or the sexual innuendos in general? Is this an attempt to be risqué...about bowling? And then upon reading the copy, we figure out it's for an inter-ad agency bowling competition. So....to compile the facts, in an industry well know for discrimination and flat out racial/cultural ignorance, this ad was made to promote an "in house", internally approved, extracurricular activity, and it has not just a slight an inkling of racial undertone.....but f*ckin blackface? Come the f*ck on. This, is a joke.

The only thing that saves this ad from making me slightly irritated all day, is the fact that the agency, FP7 Oman, may be located in Dubai. So...they get a pass, cause I'm pretty sure that they don't know what blackface is. So, the point of this blog post???? If I ever visit Dubai, I may or may not want to go bowling.

SIDE NOTE: I know there is some historical accuracy to accoutn for, but raise you hand if you almost changed the channel last Sunday, when Roger did his blackface routine on Madmen? ***raised hand***
