gay nike ads.

Some more ads pulled for being too homo-erotic.

Nike Hyper Dunks.

Wieden + Kennedy tried to fight the good fight and argue about the insight and the tone of the lines...which are pretty awesome. Im am positive that I have used the phrase "That aint right" back in my ballin days (really, really, really long time ago).

Why is the public so hypersensitive? Apparently the crotch in the face had some negative reactions. And while Ive never been dunked on per se(my D is tight..."D" is slang for defense...tight is slang for very good) I personaly would not like the feeling of peepee in/on my face. But thats what happens. And if your really lucky, the dunker "might" be wearing some underwear. Might.

Anyway...its blows that a good campaign got nixxed over a chosen art direction execution. Especially a good one. 

More executions here.

Sad.

Oh Man....Awesome Snickers Ad.

ummm, this snickers spot was pulled from the air in London for being kinda gay (gay in london...thats like a double entandre isnt it). Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I kid. I kid.  

I cannot...for the life of me, understand why they would take this brilliance off air.


Snickers..."Get Some Nuts." Oh man... Im also glad to see Mr. T back in action...full of puns and armed with pity.

unfortunate head placement.

Parents Magazine...or reading material for an underground sex ring of sorts?

Hmmmmmm.....

Spazz. N.E.R.D.

political opinions that would cause you to back away slowly.

John Voight, the estranged father of Angelina Jolie, star (and i use that term loosely) of National Treasure 1 & 2 has some opinions on Obama. Socialism. And...Vietnam.

Prepare yourself.

"Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger...We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset...

...The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America...

...The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam...

...This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way."

Who let this man out of his facility? He clearly got loose.

Whole article here.

dog ads.

I dont know how I feel about this. At first glance, I think..."genius," but when I think about it...it dont know if it makes a whole lot of sense. 

"Seeing Eye Dogs Make it Clear." I get that. But whats with the lack of a line? Granted, blind people wont see it...but then again they wont see the bus shelter either. So a blind man's friends sees it...but what do other seeing eye dogs companies do? Dont all seeing eye dogs go through the same training? Maybe I dont understand the client well enough....but thats what a line is for.

I dunno. It is visually striking. And that's why I like it. But what is it really saying? I dunno...I feel like I just lost a couple of brain cells trying to overthink this.

Anyway...back to stock photography searching....

"officer, you stepped infront of my bike."

While some NY cops get away with murder on a daily basis, others get caught doing mild acts of violence by a video phone and have it posted all over youtube. 

thank god  the NYPD has those new subway ads. 

Very convincing. 

homicide. in the 4th degree.

Just incase you were wondering....yes, it is legal to threaten someone's life. Artistically speaking. In Poland.

Peter Fuss.

amnesiac fashion.

ok kids, I've been busy, busy busy. Learning "the ropes"- thats ad office vernacular for getting b*tch slapped graciously. Im learning that as an AD people either like what you have, or they dont. As a junior AD, Im learning that you get stuck with the grunt photoshop work and image searching gig (hell on earth-i promise an entire post to this). And Im learning agency office dynamics....people's toes that need to be avoided. But I literally just walked in my door at 9:30pm. Take that for all its worth. And I started my week with a crappy cup of coffee...yeah...bad news all around....

but a quick post to show that Im living. Found this on steel closet. For all you who dont have years of catholic school burned into your cerebral cortex.I'm still looking to catch Sister Mary Joseph on the streets...I have a few choice words for her. 

Enjoy.

Colours. The Muse of grass.

ummmmm. Cool. Outrageous. Lovers. Of Uniquely. Raw. Style.

::head cock to the side::
Am I really suppose to take this seriously? Bently is in it. He use to carry the umbrellas for Puff Daddy. He also has a show now too. I just dont know if I should support this....whatever, Kanye, Andre 3000 and Bently...I guess, are so unique...they've made a sudo group (im not too into things like this either....are you a solo artist, or are you a group?). I feel like they were in the V.I.P. section of club somewhere passing a dutch (filled with...) around, and they came up with a clever name after a few hits, a conversation consisting of White Castle and maybe some Hennesey was involved. And they were like, "yo, we need to make a song."

Call me old fashioned...but I like my artist a bit more tailored, and not just a conglomeration of some side thought discovered while debating the merits of a short stack as oppose to the silver dollars at IHOP.

And for such lovers of uniquely raw style, the video sure was boring. 

Whap. Whap.

on being "hood".

‘I think it’s more important for me to be in touch with who I am than in touch with the streets, per se... Being in touch with the streets, keeping it real, that’s become a lie and a cliche. I’m not hanging on the corner in the Bed-Stuy. I hate it when rappers say, “I’m keeping it ‘hood.” I’m like, “Why? What do you mean? No one’s there by choice! You’re in the hood, by choice?”‘
-Jay Z


All valid points. But the real question lies in his "choice" of clothing. He literally looks like a hobo.

Disturbia. Rihanna.

i would love to hate her. But she puts out hits. Rihanna.Someone is making her alot of money. And this is a fun video.

new york advertising.

there's a free mattress in the east village. with a stain. if your interested. this...is what I call guerrilla marketing. 

precarious and urgent...is the need for a geography lesson.

I was going to ignore this...I swear I was. I dont want this blog to be a battle ground for political "which side are you for" warfare. But after I saw the video...I just had to post.

"Iraq-Pakistan border". Ewwww, oh yeah and then there's Iran. 

Now, I dont know that much about the geography of the middle east myself...but I think there are a few fundamental differences between Mccain and I.

1. I am not running for President of a nation.

2. In an interview....I wouldn't ever bring up a country's "name", let alone their borders... unless a map was right infront of me.

3. The word "precarious" would not blow my mind in regular conversation.

Im just saying...

a few rules.

after being verbally assaulted by a copywriter that i have never met before with enough rage pent up to fill a twleve pack of trojan condoms after his nightly online WOW tournaments, I feel it necessary to let you guys (especially the new readers) know what this blog is about. I would call it bylaws...but thats not really the right word for it. Lets call it a safety warning shall we.

1. I am not taking the SATs nor am I writing my senior thesis paper when I sit down at my macbook to post a blog. I DO NOT need to impress anyone. With that said, you... my dear reader should not expect the genius literary styling of Hemmingway, TS Elliot or any other of the greats. If that bothers you...like, if the fact that I do not type out a full sentence to express my thoughts or capitalize when needed....bothers you...you may want to stop checking my blog everyday. Why dont I change? Because dear reader, we are not in high school anymore. I know the rules. And I dont have to prove that fact to you. Especially on a blog.

2. This is my blog. If you dont understand the way I write or the opinions I share, it's probably because you dont know me. And if you dont know me, there is no possible way you can judge me. If you need to express your anti thoughts about my blog posts, please write them in your journal at home. 

Dear Journal, 

Today I commented on someone eles's blog to show him  how cool I was and how much information I know. Im pretty sure I impressed his female readers with my wit and Shakespeare quotations. That always gets the ladies hot. And I think I won when I insulted his intelligence. I think I definitely put the nail in the coffin when I said I worked at a lot of agencies and I was better at advertising than he was. Yeah....that was good.::pist pump::

You see journal, blogging gives me that sense of security to talk sh*t from far far away that I never got in my small community college in the south. I may be back later to add another 500 word comment.We will see. In the mean time, Im gonna finish a few more rounds of Worlds of Witchcraft. Im about to save the elf princess.

 Luv, Douchbag McCoy. 

3. I do love comments. I do love opinions. However, what I love most, is my dignity. And I refuse to have that questioned in a forum such as internet blogging. If you are reading my blog, you should know that it is a pleasant mix of culture, stupidities, advertising, and news. Very little on this blog is about me or my personal life(for good reason). And if I do share my personal life...job, romantic, health, daily occurrences...its with the utmost sarcasm and entertainment that I can muster up at the time. If you are thinking that this blog in any way entitles you to judge me or even know the slightest thing about me, you (my dear copy writing friend) are a joke. This blog is not a forum for people to unload thier demeaning opinions (especially about yours truly). I will immediately ignore and delete them. 

I guess that's it. Im personally sad that I even had to take up a blog post with this nonsense.Its even more juvenile than that time I stole that pack of gushers from my best friend in 6th grade. And that exclamation mark image at the top right...vomit atrocious. This would've been an awesome place to putone of my infamous  nip slip posting. What a waste. 

This whole situation makes me feel like Kanye West. How lame.

And for the record, I love copywriters. its called sarcasm. 

Infact, I love everyone.
