Who doesn’t want to look good and loose weight?
The theory behind these is solid. For years wrestlers and boxers have run around in garbage bags trying to loose a little extra to make weight, so the sweat out pounds while your body is encased in plastic, is not breaking any new ground. But these do certainly [...]

Wait! Was there nothing else left to honor?
No other Supreme Court justices, big name musicians, Olympians or other athletes? No National monuments or parks? Ran out of flora and fauna and Audubon birds? We’ve been through every Looney Tunes charecter and Marvel superhero? Already?
I do like the “SERVE WITH PRIDE” line, but how about one of these…
JURY DUTY: STOP [...]

The Disappearing Car Door. It just rolls down like my car window. Only it’s my door panel! And where did my B pillar go? It’s kinda like some creepy magic trick. But I do like how futuristic it is! ‘Strap on your jet pack and meet be my doorless car. Oh, what you don’t have a [...]

This is a good ad.
This woman is dazzlingly beautiful but now we know the horrors that lurk beneath her smile. She’s hiding a mouth full of unspeakable stink. (Yay!). Sometimes we can thank our lucky stars that we cannot smell a photograph. (Shudder). I only wish there was some sort of colorized green mustard-gas escaping from her [...]

When I was little I realized that I would never have perfect teeth. Of my own. But from that very young age I was really excited to get old so that I could sport the most perfect set of chompers in my home (rest home, of course). I like an old 90 year old with those [...]

I just cannot do it! Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Pepper.
Cherry Vanilla made a bit of sense, hearkening back to soda fountain days. But I really don’t think soda jerks were pouring a lot of chocolate syrup into cokes. Maybe I’m wrong?
All the advertising makes it look disgusting. The soda can is split open to reveal [...]

I would say “Come see my band” but with most of ya’ll in North Carolina, that’s just not happening. But you can enjoy the flyer anyway. I always like checking out band flyers. Our first gig is Wednesday. I’m hoping Gator will take some snaps that we can post, she’s a good picture-takerer.
But anyway, my [...]

Check out freerice.com. It’s a multiple choice vocab quiz and it’s challenging. Maybe you’ll learn a new word. For each question you answer correctly, 2o grains of rice are donated through the UN.
Cleverly, this idea came from a dad helping prep a kid for the SAT. He spent all this time building up a database [...]

I know Jeddler has been in the position where you make the pitch, thinking the shoot will need 20+ people and 10-15 days and the customer says, “Congratulations, you’ve won! But I need it in 4 days and we can only afford 4 people. Have fun”
Anyhow, this is what these guys did with 4 people [...]

Take a look at this image (taglines, below). This is all of the taglines we came up with for the Audi pitch when I worked at McKinney. Well, we didn’t win. Maybe we needed a few more tagline ideas?
