Here in Manhattan, Corona just put up this billboard at 15th St. and 9th Avenue that, on a couple nights a month, from this angle, makes the real waxing crescent moon look like a slice of lime sitting in the bottle. Tonight and tomorrow night, weather permitting, are two of those nights.
Pretty ingenious, and very refreshing, as Corona advertising of late has sucked — not limes — but balls. Ad agency: Cramer-Krasselt.

Copy on comb reads: "Prophet Muhammad said: 'All humans are equal like the teeth of a comb.' So why does the new constitution treat women as lesser beings in the name of religion? Come to the 'Constitution Debates' held by the JRMC Department and learn more about your rights. Don't submit to another man's will. Submission is no solution."

Via Germany. In the winter time when all of the trees had lost their leaves, fake trees with plastic leaves were positioned in a highly trafficked area of Frankfurt.
