A-Z with McDonalds.

McDonalds sells itself completely differently across the pond. It's not about 20 piece nuggets over there. The Brits are always trying to out do us.

I like it. British rap is a little off putting, but.....

Guys...need a lift?

Introducing male enhancement underwear by British designers, Marks & Spencer. Either the Brits have a serious problem when it comes to their men or...well, that's my only guess.

So, as it turns out....you can purchase manhood these days. Bigger bulge undies? Sure. Male firm butt lift? Yes sir. What about a nice manly chest???? Do you want it in black, white or grey?

"What should they do now?" "Arse to Arse."

How to do product placement without making it seem FORCED. I mean. I believe they are trying to sell cider. Oh those cooky Brits.

Oh Please....do tell.

".... a British "tampon alternative" brand called the Mooncup is collecting women's pet names for that part of the anatomy—giving American companies a trove of euphemisms to use. Check out the hundreds of submitted names at LoveYourVagina.com. "

Go deep (into information about Mooncup) here. Apparently it's suppose to be a replacement to tampons. My life long quest of finding out everything there is to know about tampon use, yet not physically seeing or experiencing it....has no answers here. I did not know there was an alternative-not that I should. But it's cute how they are blindly hiding the not too exciting/appealing facts about the female menstrual cycle with a cute name contest. Just when you thought Nuvo Ring was the only option in the world thanks to their media buying tactics.....the Brits hit us with a Vagina game. Chip chip cherrio.!!!

I think we all need a laugh.

...a 60 foot long laugh. Eighteen year old, Rory McInnes climbed onto the roof of his parent's mansion and painted a 60-foot penis with a bucket of white paint. He was inspired by a television program he watched about Google Earth and it took his parents over a year to discover it.

Person of the day.

"I think the fanboys aren’t particularly happy – there are a load of people they’d have rather had in before me It’s already being slated before they’ve seeing anything. But if fanboys still hate the film after going and seeing it, they can all line up and suck my dick. I don’t give a fuck. I’m having a child and that’s more important to me – so I don’t give a fuck. Grow a dick.”

- Matthew Goode,

a star in the new Watchmen movie, gives his opinion on some negative feedback

I was never a fan of the graphic novel, but I was planning on seeing it after all the fanboys on opening weekend. This Matthew guy has got the cinematic masterpiece, Matchpoint and Chasing Liberty under his belt, but most of all...we give him a foul mouth pass because he is a Brit.

Robots can give you a Woody. Or a Metal-ly.

...stripping robots could be considered kinda eerie. but they could also be considered kinda hot. these robots are created  by Giles Walker for the Behind the Shutters gallery in Britain. Oh those Brits...always so behind, yet so ahead. Or is it vice versa?

London.

It amazes me how stop-motion technology never seems to bore me. Created using 3,328 photos, here is London. I've never been, but this makes me want a beer (like I did't just get over a stomach virus).

religious ads.

“There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” 

Say hello to the new Athiest Bus Campaign. Apparently, across the pond, there is a lil problem with freedom of religion. The campaign's goal is to, "help raise awareness of atheism in the UK, and hopefully encourage more people to come out as atheists... also [to] counter the religious adverts which are currently running on London buses, and help people think for themselves."

Wow, it makes me wonder, just how radical the religious ads are in London... that the head atheists of the town had to make a rebuttal by instituting an ad campaign? Are there pope PSAs and catholic guerrilla movements being launched on the daily? Cause if there are....I would LOVE to see them. I read about them briefly, but what I really want is to experience them.What is the art direction like? Does anyone have any insight? I am delightfully intrigued! (I may make my own religious ads).

Now, I know religion is a touchy subject for people. Are these relevant? I dunno, I thought atheists couldn't read (I kid). But as a graphic designer (which I am not), I do see the correlation between "coming out (of the un-rightfully condemned closet)" and the bright ass colors used on the type of that bus sign. 

Good job, kudos and God Bless.

banned ads for no reason.

the people of the UK have spoken. another one bites the dust. With 32 official complaints (that's whopping),"Viewers complained the adverts condoned teenage pregnancy and under-age sex." I however, thought it was funny. The spot is trying to promote an alternative to water with this rebellious Cactus Kid character and his white trash girlfriend  (no worries, I'm in the clear for usage of the term white trash - as a native Texan gave me the authority). 

But the Brits seem to be missing the blatant flaw in logic. Besides this being a fake movie trailer, with a make believe character made from a cactus....the simple fact that cacti cannot have sex...should put an end to this debate. Unless there is cactus protection. And specialized cactus KY gel. Or was the cactus sperm artificially inseminated? 

Exactly. 32 people across the pond didn't have enough tea and crumpets for the day and just wanted to cause a ruckus. Because lord forbid you spend less time quipping up letters of complaint, and more time talking to your kids about...hmmm, I don't know, maybe sex. 

BTW, this is still a bad ad. I get the hyperbole, but Who doesn't like water?

VIA adfreak

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?

"No-one even took any notice of her. Everyone just saw her as one of the locals."

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