Asian angel Steve Jobs impersonator selling Android tablet (TV spot).

This is hilariously sad.
Action Electronics started airing this classy commercial late last month in Taiwan. Their spokeswoman's response to the criticism: “This is not meant to make fun of Jobs.” NO, not at all. Zombie Steve Jobs is going to hunt down that fucker and eat his brain. Thanks Tobin. Related: the ten worst Steve Jobs tribute ads.

Maybe THE most annoying ad ever.

(click, via)
I think the bench imprint-vertising still takes the annoying cake, but this here is close. I've been meaning to post this obnoxious piece of Ad Creep for months (It's from 2005, before I started this stupid site.).
This is the ambient ad equivalent of lighting a bag of dog shit on fire, ringing the doorbell, and running. Its ingeniousness is far outweighed by its invasiveness. I catch you putting that over my peephole, and I rip you a new asshole.

Let's go behind the scenes of the creative process (shh). Said BW's new creative director Richard Turley:

"It's just me and Josh Tyrangiel, the editor... we sit literally opposite each other.... It was Josh who said, "How about planes having sex for the cover?" And I was like "YES."

FUCK yeah, business.

This sleazy movie poster may screw actor Jean Dujardin's Oscar chances.

(click)
Dujardin, the preemptive favorite for his role in "The Artist", is starring in an upcoming French comedy called "Les Infidéles" (The Players). This poster (translation: "I'm just going into a meeting") and another featuring his co-star Gilles Lellouche getting a blowjob just went up all over Paris earlier this week. After receiving numerous complaints about the "representation of women" depicted, Media company JC Decaux says they will remove the posters.
C'mon! This is France! Where hedgehogs fuck sponges!

Budweiser's awesome Super Bowl salute to hockey.

Would you to like to read a condom ad with 936 words in it?

(click, via)
The count's close. Be my guest to double check it. The ad is for Prudence extra large condoms, a brand heretofore unknown to me. And I've covered a lot of condom ads in the last 6+ years. You know, I'm not left with a good feeling about this brand after reading these 936 words. If you're gonna make me read 936 words in a fucking ad, it better be very entertaining/enlightening/arousing. Maybe it works better in Portuguese. Ad agency: Z+, Saõ Paulo, Brazil. Related: this is the best condom ad via Brazil I've seen. And these are the worst.

Bill Murray as FDR.

(click, via)
From his upcoming film "Hyde Park on the Hudson".
He's come a long way from "Stripes."
True story: back in the late 1980s, I was walking near Union Square, and saw Murray in the middle of watching moving guys load his stuff into a Ryder truck. He went into the corner store, and came out with two six-packs of Bud and a big bag of generic potato chips. I approached him with two friends and asked for an autograph. He swore under his breath, but he was smirking. He wrote "86 this man. Bill Murray" on some spare card I had in my wallet. Wallet with said signed precious card in it has since been stolen.

One of the better movie ads I've seen (for "Shame").

Hell Pizza gives away blood-filled Syringe Pens to kids.

(click)
New Zealand's Hell pizza has a well-earned reputation for creating controversial yet spiritless advertising (see the timely yet sleepy dead bin Laden ad) and the blasphemous yet stale pentagram bun promo).
Here Hell is (was) giving pens that looked like blood-filled syringes with the inscription: "Hell, creating addicts since 1996." (C'mon, everybody knows China White and pizza [well, any food] do not go together). The big controversy here is that the pens weren't supposed to be given out to children (teens were fine, I'm sure). But nine-year-old Joel Crampton of Wellington came home beaming with his promo paraphernalia. His parents were not beaming. Hell says they've stopped the promo.
Previously, Hell also gave away "Misfortune Cookies," including one that read "You will marry a transgender" (Bwa HaHaHa!)

Maybe it was made by pissed-off Apple fanboys in reaction to the new pathetic, pedestrian Samsung spots mocking said fanboys. But what it is, is funny.
