Freediving Revolution Takes Hold on Utila

For many years, the Caribbean Island of Utila has been famous for SCUBA Diving. S.C.U.B.A. (the abbreviation  for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus), a wonderful recreational activity that allows...

The Little Amazing Show

It’s the big events that usually get all the attention. That long planned trip to Disneyland, maybe a Neil Diamond concert (talk about velvet tones in tight pants.....) or even a naked yoga session with Kim...

MORE SuperBowl Ads - Part 2

So here we are, a solid week past and the story, at least ad-wise, is still the Clint Eastwood spot. Kind of amazing when even something as simple as a Knute Rockne-type rah-rah speech can be parsed and dissembled...

SuperBowl Ads 2012 – Part I

Well the big game is now done and gone, the prizes have been awarded (BTW, sweet ride Mr. Manning) and poor Tim Brady must forced to contemplate his fate whilst staring at the reflection of his supermodel wife in...

Ice to Eskimos: Nike plans to make life fun

Ice to Eskimos. Way back when, that was the saying. If you were so good at sales that you could sell anything, you were said to be able to sell “ice to Eskimos.” Now, before I go any further, I do have to...

Buy XXX....or else!

I just viewed what could be some of the cheapest, funniest, most overtly skeevy TV commercials ever produced. The objective, physical quality of them is one thing but for me, the truly dirty aspect actually lays...

The BEST advertising idea....EVER!

I’ve got the best advertising idea ever. Really – I do. But before I get to it I have to explain where it came from first. You see, it all started with Facebook. Now, as we are routinely told, Facebook almost...

Shaving is Living: Lose the beard & try slowing it down this year

“Shaving” no longer suggests what it once did. At best, modern shaving is defined by hyper-kinetic commercials that morph razors into race cars and jet planes while ripple-ly muscled men in towels yank swishy...

Christmas Traditions: Saks Fifth Avenue Amazes

There is a valid fear amongst folks that many of our familiar holiday traditions are disappearing. Often, in our misguided clamor to avoid conflict or protect feelings we turn to political correctness and commence...

(Hearting) Boobs & H8ing Balls: Katherine Heigl gets nasty

A ways back, a sort of controversy erupted over a fairly well-known breast cancer awareness campaign. Apparently, at more than a few schools throughout North America, boys had taken to wearing the colorful “I...

Occupy Advertising

By its very nature, the so-called “Occupy” movement (gathering? protest? sleep-over?) should be anti-advertising. I say this mainly because advertising is the preferred tool of the hated, demonically...

Kenneth Cole on Idiots

Kenneth Cole doesn’t just want to sell you stuff. He would like to change the world too. This isn’t news exactly. It’s been somewhat of a sales/publicity mantra of his for years. Recently though, he explained...

Looney for Soccer

To me, soccer has always been a tough sport to grasp. The foot-to-ball thing was fine but it was the surrounding atmosphere that never clicked. Match times that go over, odd penalties, strange antics and those...

Scaring Men Healthy: Pokey Czechs & Models with Testicles

For guys, getting old can actually be a good thing. Bad eyes and worse hearing can provide welcome relief from the sights and sounds of everyday idiots. Plus you’re never expected to change your mind about...
