Carpets With a Sense of Humor

Apparently these "LOL Shags" they were being sold at Lowes, but no news on whether Lowes still carry them.

I would have gotten one had I knew about it.

Darkie Toothpaste.

The thing about being the younger generation of our family is that, well, one of our favorite activity as a Taiwanese individual, is for us to tell every god damn person we can about how god damn racist us Taiwanese folks are. Take, for example, the Darkie Toothpaste:


I remember that at a later time of my youth, my grandfather switched his favorite "black man toothpaste" to "white man toothpaste", of which I just thought, to my racist little self: "I guess white man toothpaste is better?"

I also remember that they introduced some toothpaste with salt in it, declaring the cleansing power of salt, now on your teeth.

THIS ALL HAPPENED DURING THE 80'S!

God damn we were some fucked up racists.

Your Old Tires make for a Sexy Sink

Or about as sexy as a sink could get unless you decide to create silicon sinks in the shape of breasts...

I want to put my face in it.

Terrible Wine Names

Segata Saturn Shiro

I can't be arsed to try and figure out what they are singing, or why what may look like an odd Sega Saturn mascot is body throwing every freaking person he come across and molesting passed out mothers in the midst of a house fire... I'm too busy being freaked out that Segata Sanshiro is going to come after me next.

Also, I really don't want to explode.

Oh, wait, this video from "the best damn podcast ever" will explain everything, plus show you all of the commercials and the translated music video.

NOOOOOOO, SEGATA SANSHIRO!!!!

I Love Visiting The Happy Pills

Except that I don't live in Barcelona, and all it has is candy.

No, really, apparently it's a candy store in Barcelona.

Why would I lie?

Sand Painting: Taiwanese Advertising Style

I'm sold, CONSUMER WHORE WILL... UH... go to zoo? AND BUY KITSCHY STUFFED ANIMAL SCHLONGS!!!

The Man Who Walked The World

Stolen from Warren Ellis:

This is an ad for Johnnie Walker whisky. Not a brand I’m especially fond of. But this five-and-a-half-minute film, with actor Robert Carlyle narrating the history of Johnnie Walker, is really very well done. Yes, it’s an ad, coming from the ad industry’s vile notion of "helping companies to tell their stories…" But Johnnie Walker’s been around a long time, and has an actual story to tell. More importantly, this is a story elegantly and charmingly told, by one of my favourite actors.

Edit: Apparently all the youtube links were taken down in order to raise internet ire... at least, that's all I can find out about it.

You can still find the video here, unless they've been taken down as well.

I am suddenly overtaken by an unimaginable thirst that can only be quenched by any scotch that's not Johnnie Walker... which helps in the fact that I just drank my last, oh Grouse, you are my only friend...

Apparently Today Is My "Discover Advertising That Appeals To Me" Day...

Thanks Stacy!

And here are 2 ads from Microsoft about their Internet Explorer 8:


The ads are not as bad as a lot of people claim it is, it's fucking Internet Explorer 8, the people that sees it will just get a laugh, regardless of your browser preference.

Also, I can't use IE8 on my home machine, it's not that I don't want to, I literally can't, WAY TO GO, MICROSOFT!

I Could Use A Chilled Beer...

Or a child bear... why not.

Alright, I'm done, it's out of my system, maybe I'll see you guys again some other day.

A Failure In Advertising?

Or is it?

All I'm saying is that chefs need love too.

Dial A Llama

Sigh...

Speaking of Billboards...

PEOPLE, STOP. FUCKING. SHEEPS!

Prostitution: Now With AC!

Seriously, the sign on top says "AC is on"

Also, the descriptions are accurate, but not as colorful as the Chinese ones.

I love the description for the Malaysian girl: Clean Pure Malay.

Also, the Russian Girl: Insane Crazy Demonic Girl.

Happy Father's Day!

You Gotta Keep Your Beer Cold Some How...

It actually took me a while to figure out what that ad means.

"Wait, so the cold beer makes the boob perky uh... what?"

I'll bother you guys tomorrow.
