TAG RESULTS FOR: advertisement

The resemblance between what you see and what you get at fast food restaurants has been a hot debate in the massively obese business community for decades. But the differences between what we see in the ads and what we actually wind up eating just seems to get further and further apart with each passing year. The blog Alphalia picked up a few popular fast food menu items, took the prettiest possible photos of them they possibly could and then... Continue reading

At least it didn’t feel any pain. FreeTaxUSA used the death of an innocent iPad to advertise their services. While death has been used for self-promotion before (hell, look at most political ads), never have I seen such a blatant use of gore and bloodshed used so lightly. FreeTax shot an unsuspecting iPad with a shotgun slug for their own personal gain. And while I honestly believe that the perpetrators will go unpunished for their dastardly crime, their final judgment... Continue reading

My brother and I love playing that Volkswagen punching game when we’re cruising down the road. Well, more like my brother punches me and I grimace. I’m truly terrible at it. So it’s more like a one-sided slugfest then a true game. Black one! Red one! Inside out one! Wait… huh?! AlmapBBDO’s newest advertisement for the Volkswagen Fox turns the vehicle inside out to really push home the fact that the car has an all-new interior. Don’t they realize that... Continue reading

Are you proud of your internet vernacular? Whoever is responsible for this “advertisement,” you have me SMH. While it might be totally SFW, FWIW, this seems like a mighty waste of time. Take that English language! Link [via]

Free Wi-Fi is great and all, but it’s sort of expected these days, especially from big chains. I want to know what else they can offer me. Did you know that McDonald’s isn’t only offering free Wi-Fi, but they’re also going to provide the new and exclusive Wi-Fri service. More fries in more places! This genius ad spot is sure to turn some hungry heads. Link [via]

These awesome Periodic Table of Elements Taxis and Buses serve as mobile advertisements for the Oxford Science Park in the U.K. I wonder if one of these bad boys will go up for sale after they’re done with the marketing scheme. A ride like this would go perfect with a set of Periodic Picnic Tables.

Apparently an Apple a day doesn’t keep the psychiatrist away. Fight the power! Damn tech corporations trying to brainwash us with their awesome Wolfenstein and Metal Gear Solid games. Link

Dentsu Inc, Japan’s largest advertising agency, is aiding Nintendo in launching a video distribution service on Nintendo’s home console, the Wii. The two companies plan to offer programs exclusive to the service, allowing old people and little kids to get down with some cartoons and other entertainment content. However, nothing in this world is free (except Wii Sports) and viewers will need to pay to see some of the content the video service provides, while others will be offered free... Continue reading

If you were one of three people on the planet who enjoyed the Jerry Seinfeld ads from Microsoft, I’ve got some bad news: Microsoft is moving to “phase two” of its ad campaign. That means no more Jerry, no more churros and no more of Gates doing the robot. The next phase of Microsoft’s plan is to crack counter shots back at Apple by specifically targeting its ads which have propelled the Apple Windows feud in the first place. Bill... Continue reading

When $300 million dollars is spent on advertisements involving Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates shopping for shoes, it makes me think, “What’s this got to do with Microsoft?” Well, Microsoft wants you to know that it’s more hip than Apple. The two things that make Jerry Seinfeld cool in this video: 1. He’s eating a churro. 2. He showers in his clothes in the morning, “You’re dressed, then you’re clean. Open the door, go about your business.” The sad thing... Continue reading
