dirty money

sometimes i watch commercials from other places on the internet and go, "why don't we see these commercials?" and then i remember that we don't handle things like sexuality very well in our country. even if it's puppets. or animated money.

so, if you'd like to watch a humorous, yet slightly risque involving money and cgi paper puppets, take a watch.



now, this ad was intended for the internet, so it's not like they intended it for saturday afternoon or whatever, but it's pretty funny that they made a commercial for a banking firm (or whatever) that is so out there. kudos to the firm that made it, optix.

radio advertising

so, i listen to the jim rome show when i'm able to. like all radio shows, it gets by on advertising. it's a combination of local and national ads. and basically, after hearing most of these ads over and over, i don't think i'd shop at any of them. here are some of the big offenders:


-ara karkazian jewelers - i don't care if tarkanian took his watch and ncaa championship ring to you. hearing his dopey old voice, and really when i hear his voice i think of dopey from the seven dwarfs (i know, dopey didn't talk, but look @ a picture of tark and then a picture of dopey, tell me i'm wrong), i am not inspired to go to your jewelry store. i know fresno has an obsession with tark, and i liked him @ unlv, but he didn't do jack for us. and, his coaching ability and recommendation don't do anything for me as someone considering jewelry.


-vermont teddy bears


my wife assures me that women do not, i repeat, do not, want a teddy bear for valentine's day. i always thought it might be a bit odd to give an adult a stuffed animal. i mean, she's not six after all.

-fresno pacific university: apparently they have an online master's degree program in kinesiology that will help you be a better coach. i don't have a problem with the program or the ad, i'm just pretty sure that one of the people featured in the ad is the soccer coach. i mean, how many graduates do you have from a program when you're sneaking your staff into ads?

now, this next ad doesn't actually play during the rome show. my friend mike told me about it, and i heard it monday morning when i borrowed the car and was listening to the adam carolla show on the way to work.

-ashley madison. ummm, this has got to be one of the creepiest things i've heard about. they are pretty directly advertising having affairs with people that just want to have affairs. really, here's their tag line:"LIFE IS SHORT. HAVE AN AFFAIR.™" they try and hook up married people with other married people just looking to get down. it's a crazy world we live in when you're advertising affairs in the 6 am time slot.

i'm sure there are other offenders...errr, i mean advertisers out there that i could talk about. those are just ones that to the top of my mind. and, i guess they're doing their job because i am talking about them. i'm not going to use any of them, but they've got some secondary advertising off of me.

funny condom ad

so, yeah, this video (i've been finding a lot of interesting videos lately) is probably not something you want to watch at work. or, let your children watch. i mean, it's a commercial, but it's an online commercial, so it's sort of graphic. and it's for durex condoms.

bizarre whitey's ad

i saw this bizarre ad last night and had to take a photo to share with you all.

enjoy

aaaarrgh

i hate political ads. really, i do. on a very rare occassion, there is a funny one. but, most just annoy me. and, i doubt that they convince anyone to vote for a candidate. they just affirm stereotypes for those who are already planning on voting for a person.

unfortunately, tis the season to be barraged with political ads. i just saw an ad for chuck poochigian that bothered me so much i had to write this.

the candidate he is running against, is jerry brown. brown is against the death penalty. "for serial killers and cop killers. he may be the least qualified person in ca. to be attorney general." well, he's not. because a-hole poochigian, i am less qualified. not only do i not have any experience, but i am also against the death penalty. for everyone.

on wiki, here's what they say about you, chuck, "Although he is seeking to become California's chief law enforcement officer, he has no previous experience in the field of criminal law, or in supervising other attorneys in a law office."
