Sylvania Light Bulb Commercial

I am considering moving to some remote south east Asian nation, just so I can see commercials like this…

My Gossip Girl Rant

The above ads for the CW11’s Gossip Girl have created the latest controversy in TV land. Now when I speak of controversy, I am not referring to the raciness of the ads, nor the fact that they are for a “teen” drama, instead I am referring to the foolish parent watchdog groups that are all up in arms over these ads. Perhaps these ads have parents going crazy because the true nature of the show they allow their 13 year old girl watch is being shoved down their throat. Imagine parents knew what their children were watching on TV without the network putting right in front of them, more so then the fact that their kids are watching it in their OWN HOME! While these shows may have actors in their 20’s and 30’s portraying teen characters, these shows are not exactly for your kids. We aren’t talking about Saved By The Bell here people! These shows are coke and sex fueled raves with a little violence and statutory rape mixed in. So, you have two choices here, you can either accept the fact that your kid is out there drinking, getting high and having wild sex with everyone and anyone, or you can get involved in your child’s life and be a parent, which sometimes means saying NO to what your child wants! You’re their parent, not friend! Stop blaming television for what you allow your children to do!

AUGOR x REVOK x Dark Knight; The Video

With the Dark Knight opening today, I thought what better way to show my excitement for the film then by showing the video lapse of, no not the movie or trailer, but of AUGOR x REVOK painting a Dark Knight billboard in LA. Don’t be confused by the first part of the video as it is LA’s dynamic duo causing some good old wreck, building up suspense to the classic billboard.

BMW Promotes Child Pornography

Is it just me, or is the girl in this BMW ad all of 10 years old? She reminds me of one of those kids psycho parents enter into “I have emotional and ego problems, why doesn’t anyone love me” child beauty pageants.

I love tattoo’s and I cannot wait to get my ribcage inked this fall, but what the hell is Tattoo Yes doing advertising. And not cool street advertising, but like paid and serious advertising. Not only is this come bizarre conforming of tattoo’s but the tats in the ads aren’t even real. Can anyone say posers!?!? I can just see the creative ad nerds who got all excited when they thought using fake tattoos was a cool way to show how talented the artist at the shop are.

See more lame fake tats and what I consider to be much cooler tattoos after the jump.
