    The Nokia N900 Isn't A Phone, It's A Psychotic Shapeshifter

    While we've been sitting, waiting, wishing for the Nokia N900, we missed something very important: It's not a phone. As this Nokia ad shows, it's actually a psychotic shapeshifter. At least I think that's the message they're trying to send. More »

    This Inflating Bra Commercial Left Me Confused Yet Reaching For My Wallet

    Based on my non-existent Chinese skills, I managed to understand that this inflatable bra makes boobs big, BIG, BIG. And I guess it comes with odd sound effects included? Can someone watch please this commercial and translate for me? More »

    Google Promotes Droid Day With Rare Homepage Ad

    Hey Google! I adore your celebration of Sesame Street's 40th anniversary and such things, but what are you doing sticking an ad on your homepage? An ad for Verizon's Droid of all things. More »

    Subway Ad Makes It Look Like the Tunnel Is About to Collapse

    This freaky subway ad for upcoming disaster porn 2012 is currently up in Rio de Janeiro's subway systems. Get it, it looks like the tunnels have ruptured and are flooding and everybody is about to die! Ha...ha? [Copyranter]

    New Droid Commercial Turns to All-Out Sci-Fi

    The Motorola Droid! It's a robot from space, shot to Earth from fighter jets, letting you check Facebook! Or something like that. Apparently, this ad that shows you nothing about the phone itself will start running next week. [BGR]

    Steve Jobs' Original Name for the iMac Was So Horrifying It Would Explode Your Ears

    The iMac revived Apple after a decade of sickly malaise. The name is so obviously iconic. So it's shocking that Steve Jobs hated it and wanted to call it something so awful it would "curdle your blood." More »

    DirecTV Uses a Few Other Dead Celebrity Spokesmen

    Man, if you thought it was tacky and gross when DirecTV used Chris Farley in their ads, you probably won't like the Heath Ledger, JFK or Jesus Christ spots. [LandlineTV]

    There Is Something Very, Very Wrong with This Ad

    Duh, this old school Mac is way too ancient to surf the web for porn! Stupid dog. [Ads of the World via Copyranter]

    Microsoft Pusses Out on Family Guy Special

    Microsoft's involvement in the Windows 7 Family Guy hackathon is canceled. Family Guy's writing team pulled out one too many idea balls about incest, the Holocaust and feminine hygiene, making it "not a fit with the Windows brand." More »

    Japan's Windows 7 Whopper Is Real, and It's Horrifying

    CheapAssGamer took the voyage to a Burger King in Akihabara to try the Windows 7 Burger. Apparently, $14 buys you the most desiccating pile of adipose flesh ever to be partially congealed by man. [CheapAssGamer Thanks Ashcraft!]

    New Microsoft Campaign Claims: "I'm a PC, and Windows 7 Was My Idea"

    The new ads for Windows 7 combine the "I'm a PC" person montage styling with a new punchline: "Windows 7 was my idea." And I'll admit, the spot works. More »

    Beezag Reaches Back 10 Years For Its Business Model Of Paying People to Watch Ads

    When I was in college, I spent a good month watching ads on my computer in exchange for swag, gift cards and other rewards. Then those companies went out of business. Beezag is doing the same model a decade later. More »

    You'll Be Seeing Justin Long's Smarmy Apple Face a Lot More Soon

    Windows 7 launches a week from today, so you're probably ready for the Microsoft advertising blitz that's already started. But are you prepared for the Apple Windows 7 onslaught? More »

    Family Guy Windows 7 Clip Does Not Have Me Rushing To Set My DVR

    Earlier this morning we heard that Family Guy is teaming up with Microsoft to promote Windows 7 on an upcoming show. If this clip is anything to go by, I wouldn't get your hopes up for comedy. More »

    iPhone's Cheesy CSI Cameo Requires Serious Suspension of Disbelief

    Sorry AT&T. I know CSI never lets plausibility get in the way of a good story, but watching them crawl through an underground tunnel and exclaim the iPhone has "outstanding reception", made last night's episode harder to believe than usual. More »

    44 PlayStation 3 Ads Too Offensive For Even Sony To Use

    Sony has a penchant for making questionable or offensive ads. But man, nothing they've done comes close to some of the stuff you guys came up with. You've been warned; no whining about being offended allowed. More »

    Verizon Bitch Slaps AT&T in "There's A Map For That" Commercial

    I'm not a fan of Verizon, but their newest ad made me giggle like a little girl. It's a nice little jab at AT&T through mockery of Apple's "There's an app for that" tagline. [YouTube via Digital Daily]

    Help Sony Create Even More Upsetting and Controversial Ads

    Sony loves to make unsettling ads that appear designed to offend rather than sell video games. Fair enough, Sony! But I think we can beat them at their own game. More »

    New Sony Ad: Play PlayStation 3, Save a Nazi's Life

    Apparently, if you play the PlayStation 3, you'll give a blood transfusion to a Nazi, or a heart transplant to Joan of Arc. What in holy hell do these mean, Sony? Updated More »

    Microsoft's New Windows 7 Ads: Colorful!

    Microsoft let loose with a crop of new ads for Windows 7, and they're actually not bad, aside from that weird line about "waiting for a spaceship" in the first one. More »

    What Is This Giant Chronometer Doing On This Pizza Hut Delivery Bike?

    Pizza Hut—Adam's favorite iPhone pizza—claims that they will deliver your pizza in under 30 minutes, and they wanted to prove it by installing giant-sized chronometers on the back of their pizza delivery bikes. [Direct Daily]

    This Incredible Windows 7 Launch Party Video Is Either the Best or Worst Microsoft Ad This Year

    Holy Steve Ballmer. This set of Launch Party videos are incredible for its nostalgia sake. No, they're not old videos; I just thought the whole advertising industry moved past fake setups like this back in the '90s. More »

    Remember The AT&T Ads About the Future? You Will

    Narrated by Tom Selleck, and directed by Fight Club's David Fincher, the ads began in 1993 and were (mostly) remarkably accurate, predicting: E-Books, in-car GPS, tablet PCs, E-ZPass, video conferencing, and video on demand. Take a look: More »

    First Zune HD Commercial Underwhelms, Teases

    The first Zune HD commercial came out today, and it's an extremely brief look (more like a list, really) at a few of the PMP's main features. I really like the Zune HD, but this ad doesn't get me excited. More »

    Stealthy Colgate Ad Ruins Ice Cream Forever

    In Bangkok, Colgate advertised oral health by passing out something a bit more cruelly creative than mere toothpaste samples. Instead, advertisers loaded sweets like lollipops and cotton candy with wooden toothbrushes. Low, Colgate. Low. [IBelieveInAdvertising via InspireMeNow]

    Bud Light's 'Grooler' Is Actually a Real Product

    If you watched any football this weekend, you saw But Light's "Tailgate Approved" parody infomercials. But hey, maybe they weren't parodies; you can buy all that stuff, including the awesome-looking Grooler, online. More »

    Someone Shot the Creepy Palm Pre Chick! (In a Movie)

    Confession: I haven't seen September Dawn. I didn't know about the movie until today. What I do know is that the actress who plays the creepy Palm Pre chick dies at the 3:01 mark of this clip. In creepy fashion. More »

    Are Asus and Moko Teaming Up to Sell Underwear?

    Is this weird marketing campaign between Moko and Asus encouraging me to buy an EeePC or Calvin Klein undies? Or am I supposed to donate some shirts to these girls so they don't have to wear those tiny things? More »

    Infomercial for the Infomercial Stopper May Cause Reality to Fold In on Itself

    This infomercial for a gadget called the Infomercial Stopper may just make your head explode. But it'll probably also make you laugh, as it's fucking hilarious (also, yes, that's the brilliant Matt McCarthy from those FiOS commercials). [YouTube]

    Mexican Girl from Mac-PC Knock-Off Ads Is a Lot Hotter, Lot Less Obnoxious than Justin Long

    Mi gusta chica mexicana, si. Ella es muy sweet. Mi no gusta Justin Long, porque es cojones obnoxious. Si? Claaaaaro. Los Mac-PC knock-off comerciales de television de cable company Yoo, however, es malo malo. Chingada. Tortilla. Tacos. Chimichanga. [Thanks Rodrigo]

    Patrick Warburton Wastes Considerable Talents in New "I'm a Mac" Ad

    Taking a break from being an all-around hilarious actor, Patrick Warburton (David Puddy from Seinfeld, The Tick from The Tick) appears in the newest irritating "I'm a Mac" ad, also featuring a Lauren (from Microsoft's "Laptop Hunters" series) look-a-like. More »

    Dialed Down Tamara Hope Palm Pre Ads Still Unsettling, Creepy

    I really dunno about these. Even without Tamara Hope speaking directly into the camera, those looks are still creepy and ineffective. Seems the ad team still isn't getting the message. More »
