Culture Buzz This advertisement for the Pilot erasable pen goes through the history of the entire universe. It look's like a pretty decent pen too.
Culture Buzz Isn't it just the best time ever to be a starving mother? According to the front page of today's “Metro,” yes. Yes it is. (via The Daily What)
Is PETA promoting the ethical treatment of animals at the expense of the ethical treatment of women? That's what some are alleging after seeing the organization's new ad, which implies becoming a vegan will make a man so virile that he'll “knock the bottom out of” his girlfriend, leaving her bruised, limping and in a neck brace. What do you think?
Culture Buzz I need an adult. Preferably one not named Ty Barnes. (via The Daily What)
Culture Buzz “Don't leave it to fate.” Because if you're Jewish, fate always means big hairy men with a terrible sweater vest and cardigan combo.

Not sure if advertisement, or PSA. As the wind turns bitter and the days become shorter, what could be more appealing than a Friday night spent relaxing by the hearth with good friends and a warming glass of spirits?
Celebrity Buzz This is gross. A gross miscarriage of free speech, that is! Gotcha. No, really…the Advertising Standards Authority in Great Britain deemed this rather bland Marc Jacobs ad inappropriate. Because Fanning is 17. And the bottle is between her legs. You need to unstiffen your upper lips a bit, UK.
Do you want to know what the #occupywallstreet protesters really really want? There's a 30-second commercial for that!
Not even the most hardcore Potter fan can pretend to like this awful Lancome advertisement. (via styleite.com)
This ad for Kim's new 'Gold' fragrance doesn't even try to be subtle. (via amygrindhouse.com)
“Is that girl trapped in a beer?” is usually something you would say after swigging too many pitchers, but in San Diego you don't have to be tipsy to see some crazy beer related optical illusions. Check out the latest in Guerrilla marketing techniques from Newcastle Brown. (via adweek.com)
The Devil is capable of powers well beyond our understanding. BRB, gotta go vacuum.
In the latest ad for K-Swiss Tubes, KFP reminds us all who's boss. And to shut up. (via stuffistolefromtheinternet.com)
Sexy girls? Horny robots? The two of them trying to mate? Yup… Twitter: @ilyalucid

Politics Buzz Southern California congressional candidate Dan Adler is trying really hard to get votes from Asians. His newest ad states that “we minorities should stick together.” I don't know if I should be offended or laugh because it's so bad.
Provocative and playful, this New Ad Campaign for Blundstone Boots takes uncomfortable situations to sell their product. Clever!
Culture Buzz Tom Ford is trying to sell Neroli Portofino fragrance with pictures of soaped-up naked people! I think it will work.
According to this advertisement, the most interesting man can bond with the tribesmen because they both treat women like animals. Woo, progress?
No. They're not. False advertising or sarcasm or Dr. Steve Brule reference?
What's more offensive in this Indian weight loss ad, the sexism or the mutilated English? You're right…both. Oh, who am I kidding? I can't stay mad at you, Dr. Honey Saji. You're so deliciously malpracticed, you dirty tummy!
Oh boy! A woman's sexual history is like car value depreciation! Ugh, how else can we objectify women!? The ad was spotted in London Free Press, a newspaper in London, Ontario.
This is the National Republican Senatorial Committee's idea of an April fool's joke.
Superette, an Auckland fashion chain, knows how to brand… literally. They set up indented plates on public benches, so when people sat down an imprint would stick on the back of their thighs. Pretty clever as an advertisement for short-shorts, but invasive, much?
There's no escaping it! What's preventing those people from destroying those things on the spot?
