If you had to choose one image that encapsulated the sheer greatness of North Korea, what else would you choose but Team America’s very own puppet rendition of the Great Leader. All I know is that Hans Blix is shaking in his boots. Prepare for a very angry letter Kim. Link

Best Buy’s Black Friday ad has leaked, which means it’s time to do some serious itinerary planning for the big day. See, I like me and my fiancee set up a full contingency plan based on what we want the most for us, then comes gifts for others. Come on, we need to set priorities people! Strategy is the name ...

I was much more of a Milky Way fan when I was a kid. Not exactly sure why. These days I’m more of a Reese’s or Snickers guy. Perhaps the geniuses over in the Milky Way advertising department were utilizing my soft child-like brain to bend my consciousness to their will, forcing me to favor their candy bar with their ...

It was bound to happen eventually. Something tells me that this will be the equivalent of a pop-up for the iPhone generation. Dockers has introduced the first ever “motion-sensitive” ad to the Apple iPhone device. The ad will be featured in an assortment of the most popular iPhone apps. The ad, titled “Shakedown 2 Get Down,” takes advantage of the ...

I got a huge kick out of this commercial for the latest installment of Guitar Hero, World Tour. It features Alex Rodriguez, Michael Phelps, Tony Hawk and Kobe Bryant all playing songs in pink dress shirts and underwear a la Risky Business. A-Rod sliding in really kills it for me.

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 ...

Microsoft has released the latest Seinfeld collaboration video entitled “A Family Affair.” It stars Gates and Seinfeld at a family’s dinner table. The ad is an improvement over the painfully dull first video they did, but it still needs some work. I think the problem lies in the fact that the video is over four minutes long. No one spends ...

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 ...

Microsoft no longer wants to sit idly by as Apple’s advertising campaign bashes it, making it look like an old geezer in front of all those hipsters who watch TV. Everything about Microsoft’s $300 million advertising campaign has been quite ‘hush hush’, that is until now. “They are not seen as cool,” says Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys, a ...
