    New PS3 Ads Celebrate the Simple Pleasure of Beheading an Inlaw

    If this PS3 ad were a bit more honest, it might read, "Destroy 7000 enemies along with your relationship with your wife." More »

    Oh Snap! Guess What I Saw!

    Seriously, folks: Guess what I saw in this oddly catchy commercial for the Shack, because I can't figure it out. All I know is that Biz Markie is excited about something and that there's a squirrel DJ. More »

    Number of Hand Jobs Skyrocketing Due to Handheld Gadget Ads

    Oh, that naughty iPhone! And you, filthy Android! What about you, Kindle, you raunchy digital book, you! You just don't get tired of being fondled and rubbed in front of the cameras, don't you? Apparently not, according to Danielle Korwin: More »

    On the First Day of Christmas, My iPhone Gave to Me...

    Apple takes advantage of all my weaknesses in their new Christmas-themed iPhone ad. It's not only whimsical and cutesy, but it also mentions cookies, coffee, and several feet of snow. What more could a gal want? More »

    I Can't Believe It Took Us This Long

    While it looks like the famous tagline has been tweaked for legal reasons, I know a xylographic of Justin Long when I see one. As does my green Reading folder. $12. [Etsy via ChipChick]

    Totally Screw Up Gadget Ads by Changing One Letter

    Here's one for all my pun-loving friends out there: let's make gadget ads that are fundamentally and irrevocably changed by adding, changing or dropping a single letter from the name of the device. More »

    Seven Taglines You Can't Repeat Without Sounding Like an Asshole

    There's hardly a spokesasshole in the world of tech who doesn't throw around some kind of tagline. And that's fine because it's his job, but there's no reason for you to repeat those taglines. Especially any of these seven. More »

    European Droid (AKA Milestone) Commercial Makes Ours Look Barbaric

    American commercials for Motorola's Droid might be bold, but they're also kind of scary and threatening. In Europe, the renamed Milestone is much calmer, gentler and friendlier than the DROID SMASH we're privy to. More »

    I Can't Stop Smiling Over Google Chrome's New Ad

    There's something incredibly whimsical about Google Chrome's artsy new ad that making me smile. Maybe it's just because the "Speed" section of the ad keeps making me think of those crazy contraptions in Tom and Jerry cartoons. [Thanks, Emery!]

    According to This Commercial, We All Need and Deserve HandJobs

    This commercial has left me convinced that I need to order a five dollar HandJob right now. I'm just confused about whether I'll be getting what I think I'm getting or a weird kitchen tool. More »

    Japan's Subway Etiquette Posters Warn of Drunkeness, Cuddling and Crying Women

    Since 2008, Japan's subways have kindly asked that you do certain things at home, the beach or in your yard—anywhere but the train. But without reading the text, these images leave a lot of room for my misinterpretation... More »

    Michael Bay Goes Too Far, Directs Victoria's Secret Commercial

    Michael Bay isn't talentless. After all, he gave us the first Transformers movie. No no, MIchael Bay is a genius. The catch is that he's also an insidious prankster. More »

    Steve Wozniak Stars in Local Car Commercial With "Punker, the Boss's Dog"

    I don't even know what to say about this. Woz apparently just does whatever the hell he feels like, and right now he feels like appearing (with his Segway) in a local commercial for a Toyota dealership and repair shop. More »

    Brutally Honest Ads: A More Honest Luke Wilson Shills for AT&T

    The original Luke Wilson AT&T ads always struck me as a bit sketchy, like they weren't really telling the whole truth. So I fixed that. Here's the original for reference if you're lucky enough to be unfamiliar.

    Buy a Google Phone or Google Will Make Your Life Miserable

    Using Google for your entire online life is all well and good until they want something from you in return. Then you realize how much of an upper hand you've given them. [CollegeHumor]

    'A 10-Year-Old Can Do It Blindfolded!'

    There is so much odd and potentially wrong in regards to this vintage dishwasher ad, I don't even know where to begin. [Flickr via copyranter]

    Droid Commercial Paints iPhone as "Digitally Clueless Beauty Pageant Queen"

    Ohhh shit, y'all. This is getting dirty. Motorola/Verizon's newest Droid ad not only depicts the iPhone as a tiara-wearing, Sandra-Bullock-worshipping Barbie doll, it actually shows a clearly identifiable iPhone. It's both inflammatory and in your face. Right up in it! More »

    Some Friendly Texting Advice From James Lipton's Beard

    Everyone knows that stroking a beard helps you think. And there are few beards more majestic than James Lipton's. So it makes sense that LG is using said beard to promote responsible texting in these actually-amusing ads. More »

    Thinkpad Bus Seats Inaugurate New Buttputing Era

    First question: How tough are Thinkpad notebooks? Tough enough to be installed in buses and tram shuttles as seats and keep working just fine. Second question: Are the trackpads scrotumsensitive? I like to think they are. More »

    The Killed Windows 7 Family Guy Special Even More Horrible Than I Imagined

    Microsoft's posted the clips from Family Guy's killed hackathon that would've shilled for Windows 7, and they're even more brain-liquefyingly stupid than I thought. Just watch, but when your brains leak out your ears, don't say I didn't warn you. More »

    Spectacular Stop Motion Book Ad Make eBooks Seem Downright Soulless

    This stop-motion ad by the New Zealand Book Council makes me glad I don't own a Kindle or a Nook, and it makes me want to go grab a book immediately. Preferably a gritty New Zealand western. [Arbora via TDW]
