Rapidsea Commercial of the Year ~ Hello Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner by Herbal Essences
We already posted the worst print ad of 2007, and the year is winding down further. Even though there is still a month left, it seems like a great time to crown Rapidsea’s over-the-top TV commercial of the year. There’s just no way that something crazier will come along. According to the commercial, "Herbal Essences [...]
Microsoft: Guitar-playing flamingo for Popfly Beta
If you look at that image there, you’ll see a flamingo with its head wrapped around the guitar. There are some other images, which look mostly like standard stock photos, that rotate through the mix:
I started writing the post before I saw these, and of course the surfer, the dandelion-filled meadow, and the goldfish [...]
Can the Lobster pinch at the iPhone?
Designs that proclaim to perhaps take aim at the iPhone deserve a look, whether they’re very good or not. Danilo Mangini a designer from Design+Wave in Italy has come up with this little number, which is called "Lobster":
I found this gadget by way of this post on the Times Eye blog, which has even [...]
Friggin’ art ~ flamingoes aren’t always pink!
“Self Portrait”? This flamingo painted itself?
This poster is pretty dumb. So, you have a pretty pink paint. Why can’t you paint something other than a flamingo? They don’t always eat sea monkeys, and they’re not always pink.
Artists and art supply stores have no excuse for this cliche nonsense.
The only way out [...]
Grass Skirt Hula Dog
Hula dog?
It’s probably safe to assume that http://go.funpic.hu realized that many of their pictures would be forwarded on and posted elsewhere since they included a watermark. If this is your copyrighted image, please tell me and I will remove it immediately.
Harrod’s hires a live cobra snake to guard expensive shoes
So, in a nice little publicity stunt, Harrod’s of London has hired (which I think means rented in ‘Merican) a real live cobra to guard a pair of forbidden shoes worth $120,000. While several news outlets are carrying the AP story, none have done it as classily as Gizmodo, who have added a nice little COBRA [...]
Iguana See My Lawyer ~ Bad Knock Knock Jokes on the White House Door
An interesting question has been raised for the Supreme Court to answer: if Cuban iguanas get protections under United States law, then why don’t “enemy combatant” detainees?
With the Guantanamo Bay naval base, the United States has controlled part of the island nation of Cuba for over a hundred years. The Bush administration strategically chose to [...]
I pledge to keep our oceans clean ~ Disney told me to
A keeper of a “public service announcement” popped up reminding me to keep the ocean clean this morning. I was reading an article about the governor of landlocked Utah and his response to the mine collapse on the Salt Lake Tribune’s website. It made a point that I hadn’t realized: “Oceans Are Part Of Your [...]
All Dogs Go to Paradise ~ Trilogy Pet Food
Along with the dangerous toys from China, the recent pet food scandal scared enough people into fleeing from brands they trusted. We left behind some orange packaging for the big blue and started using a company called Trilogy. It seemed a little farfetched and environmentally unsound to start mail ordering pet food, but when we [...]
Disappearing Dolphin Disaster
Lesson: Dolphins are cute. Therefore, you can’t eat them, and when they die it’s bad.
They are dying. This is bad.
Scientists ask: Where have all the dolphins gone? From the article: “Dolphins are sometimes trapped hundreds at a time, and are asphyxiated… .”
Are anchovies on your pizza to blame? Even though you’re not consuming the actual [...]
