Great job, NORTH KOREA!

The footage above is from the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" (most often known as North Korea) reacting to the death of their Dear Leader, Kim Jong-ill.

Well, he's not ill any more (rim-shot).  he he.

Anyway - I'm impressed with their FOCUS.  I can tell you this, if govt. thugs pointed an AK-47 at me and ordered that I begin mourning, I wouldn't make it a second past the, "What for?!"

But that's Communism for ya - it makes ya'learn how to adapt!  Notice the dude at 0:59 - you can't get better acting than that!  And the chick at 2:47??

(sigh)

I'm thinkin' Meryl Streep just found an heir.

Christmas is GOOD for you!

The photo above was sent in by a sadvertising reader - it's a Christmas Tree price tag from a Midwest grocery story chain called "HyVee."

For one, it's an awesome deal - save $20 on a tree!  Yay!

For two, it's an awesome meal, too!  See - according to the "NuVal" nutritional scoring system, Christmas Trees are more nutritious than:

Bananas (91)
Fresh sardines (88)
Atlantic salmon (87)
and GET THIS - GREEN GIANT® SPINACH!!  (67)

It's gotta be the Fiber factor, don't you think?

"Pass the branch, mom."

They are keeping Whitey DOWN!

The screenshot above was taken about...ten minutes ago, on Amazon.com

Well.  This is a fresh little twist.

"Daddy, how come Santa didn't bring me a doll house?"

"'cuz Santa's THE MAN and daddy' couldn't AFFORD IT!"

And I'm gonna be really pissed off if them Asians are spending a dime less than $100.

Seriously - what the h*ll?!?!

Why We Fight. 2011

Ok you 99%'ers.  The above video is fresh off the North Korean Billboard Top 100.  This is how you do it when your government is really in control.

Kinda...puts things into perspective, eh?

Power to the people and pass the potatoes*.

Er.  Probably potato.

PS - Note to Kim Il Jong:  "your" tenor is THE BOMB.  He gets to lick the bowl, 'k?

*I couldn't stand it the first time either - jump to 1:56 for the punch line.

Go ask Alice. Nurse Alice, of course.

Yeah, it's an old ad - we're tracking 1970s.  But it's sooo worthy.

Can you imagine what the marketing guy for Abbott Labs (it was always a Guy back then) said to the agency?

"No no no!  It's in the eyes, man!  Tell your artist it's in the EYES!"

So the account executive packs up the Comp, goes back to the office, sits down with the Art Director, pours a glass of bourbon...

But this time the Creative Director steps in.  With three bottles of Pepsi and three little pills... "You guys need to spend a little more time with the client's vibe."

"Don't worry.  This is the SHORT ACTING stuff.  You'll be home by 8.  Promise."

And wouldn'cha know it - this time, they got the eyes RIGHT!

Ad APPROVED!  Yay!

Can't touch THIS Doo!

The graphic above is for "WIREDoo".

It's a new SEARCH ENGINE created/managed/endorsed/whatever by the MC Hammer.

Cool!  I hope he succeeds - from what I've read about the guy, he's sincere, focused and has high character.

He's also going to take crap about the name:  WIREDoo.

What is Wire Doo?

Well, it's found beneath the WIRE!

Or maybe he's referring to the search-engine results?

Sex Smells

The screenshot above is for the Glade® Sense & Spray® device.

So.  I push the dismembered woman in the uterus and the room smells...nice?

Women are gorgeous - and the Coke bottle proves their commercial allure.  But without breasts...or a head for that mater, they're kinda creepy.

Oh well.

Watch the spot below.  I wonder why she doesn't travel outside of a 5' radius of the scent.  I wonder.  My sister one day informed me that "Girls don't fart."

Maybe it's the corpse.

A Big Hug for the editors

"So why do we need an Editor?" asks the client.

Well, watch the commercial.  Did you notice the car flip and roll?  NOPE!  That's because the EDITOR knew precisely when to cut to the next scene!

"What is a Trabant?" asks the un-gearheaded among us.

It is possibly the only car I would donate plasma to buy.  For one, that's all it's worth.  For two, to the people who own them, that's like...normal currency to them.

Oh - click here to find out why TIME Magazine listed the Trabant as "The Car that gave Communism a Bad Name."

You've Come a Long Way, Baby.

It's a slow day at Sadvertising.

Unless you want a license to go...you know...kill some wi'min.

WHO WANTS A NEW CLIENT?!?! Anyone???

The above graphic is a screen-cap for Retar...dex.  It's a dental product designed to RETARD bad breath.

Go ahead, laugh at the retar...er, moronic name.   But you didn't come here for stupid humor.  You came for the pithy, insightful and elevated.

So, look at the graphic below.  It's the company's own admission that they have a brainless brand name.  But, check out their 'excuse' -

"However it was developed by a Professor of Dentistry and his team to actively retard...Because their expertise was dentistry, not marketing, they didn't consider..."

Ohhh.  Right. The creator is just  a Professor of Dentistry!  Well now that they say that, all is forgiven.  After all, Dentists tend to be a little - you know - retar... well, slow on the uptake, if you know what I'm sayin'.

I just hope there wasn't any Chemistry required in the formulation of RetardEd...er RetardEx.   "Geez!  How was I supposed to know that adding diesel fuel made it flammable!  I'm just a DENTIST!"

 

Wait!  If we have any comments on the name, we're asked to "...pass to our marketing department, contact us here." (insert email and facebook® icon).

So the Professor hired a whole department of marketing people afterwards and the name still sucks?!?

Scratch "HR Executive" off the Dentist's qualifications, too.

Geez. How retarded.

Oh.  And to the Executives at RetardEx. Anyone who's told you that "Any press is good press!" has never heard of Hitler.  And, if they've never heard of Hitler, they're stupid.
