Nordstrom takes a rare, noble stand against the hateful Santa infestation that is soon to be upon us. There's very little that's more depressing to me than the first $%#@ing Christmas carol of November.
A German company attached mini-banner ads to flies at a trade show recently, and let them fly around the event. PETA probaly has issues with it, but apparently it was really effective.
Australian ad for Jamieson's Raspberry Ale depicts 'Ho White' and her dwarves ('Filthy, Smarmy and Randy') all together in one big, happy bed. Because if she could get animals to clean for her…
Microsoft finally gets it with this heartbreakingly adorable commercial for Windows 7 that blows that Mac Guy out of the water. Let's face it: the Internet loves kitties surrounded by marshmallows!

New favorite site, “How Much Is Inside?” actually investigates what we've all suspected at some point in our lives: the packaging is always too big for the product.
