Silver Market Update

Bond, Beverage Bond: Shake this & it will blow up in your face

The new James Bond movie is quickly coming up on us (at least here in North America) and I have to say, I’m pretty excited. The last few Bonds have, to me, been a lot more fun and true to-life-seeming (at least...

Devil with a Blue Apron On: Satan sells cheese

Most folks assume they’ll know evil when they see it. I mean, who could think, for even a second, that Hitler was not pure, out-of-the-bottle, undiluted evil? Or how about a serial killer? Or some soulless...

Big Wheels Rolling....Cool Daddies Strolling

A buddy of mine (and his wife, natch) just had a baby the other day. And amid all the ooooing and ahhing that invariably accompanies such a joyous event I tried to warn him about one of the greatest purchasing...

Wearing Blue Velvet: H&M apes David Lynch

I was young, maybe eleven or twelve, when I made my first true “fashion decision.” And by fashion decision I mean that I decided one piece of clothing was better for my “image” than some other one was. Now...

Apple iMock: Can the world's biggest company ever be beaten?

When it comes to effective methods of intellectual assault, some well-placed mockery can be unbelievably brutal. Most of us have little trouble finding ways to counter such familiar indignities as general insults...

Harold & Kumar go to White.....House?

Anyone who reads most of what I write can tell how much I enjoy the flotsam that is pop culture. And leaving aside the fact that I’ve been saturated in it for most of my life, even the grumpiest stiff would have...

Smile! They'll make you famous......but only when you die

There is no easy way to say this: I’m going to die. Yes, I - me, the AdFool guy - am absolutely, positively going to die. But then again, so will you. It’s about the only thing all of us truly have in common....

Finding Greatness

My bizarre attraction to advertising has always been rooted in a larger search for objective truth. Ask any good salesman: to really sell something, you need a solid truth to build on. Sure, ads and promotions...

RONA Runner: Is doing the right thing really so hard?

Okay, here’s the thing: I hate shopping at Rona. My reasons may be shallow but they are specific. Every single time I go there the aisles appear junky and crammed, not to mention tall, dark and narrow. The...

Beware the bimmer, Daniel-san

Before we go any further you have to understand where exactly it is that I’m coming from. My pop cultural touchstones are all planted deep in the eighties. Sure, I’ve glommed onto other things pre and...

Something from nothing: LMFAO, Puke in my Mouth & more

Ever hear of LMFAO? If you have kids, or happen to frequent the bars these days in an attempt to reclaim your youth (it’s out there, you can find it) you are hip enough to know that the acronym so much more...

Fame Monster? Lady Gaga...been there, done that

You would think we’d all wise up. Sales methods and pitches – even when they seem cutting edge and new – never actually change from year to year. Heck, they don’t even really change from generation to...

Dr. Rich Mahogany - Mantherapy....for men

News flash! Men and women are different, which means when it comes to some problems, men need different kinds of help and solutions than most women do. What’s that you say? Men have it all? The whole world is...

Old Gray Baby

Okay, I admit it. I’ve come really close a couple of times. My ego got the better of me and I nearly gave in but at the very last second I hesitated. Could my inability to accept the status quo signal some...
