oh, Joe, you have a gift.

Tom Terrific, wicked pissahs and prancing in boots

Tom Brady's new commercial for Under Armor (via Funny or Die) is a comeback story of sorts. Yeah, he's dreamy and married to a rediculously attractive woman and won a couple of Super Bowls and did one of the funniest skits EVER on SNL....but he also did a regrettable ad prancing around in Uggs. This is definitely his redemption effort.

 

 

 

struggling with work today? here's 15 minutes of entertainment for you.

Looks like Pepsi is finally getting its mojo back. This. Is. Awesome.

 

Cannot wait to see this.

 

 

June 1 marks the official start to hurricane season. To get you in the mood, this is just f*ing awesome. 

 

Fashion and accessory advertising has come a long way since the 70's. That was then, and then check out Prada's latest effort, from Polanski no less.

 

 

And finally, it wouldn't be a Friday with some VD, so how about a double shot?! Happy Memorial Day.

Bet you didn't know that Axe was first launched in FRANCE in 1983, did you? Kinda makes sense, though. Frenchies....shower in a bottle. Got it.

Leave it to Hugh to finally realize that this body fragrance thing was legit a mere 30 years later. Plenty of 65+ lady killers out there, I guess.

I do love the "Press to Play" tagline, though. It, ahem.... hits the spot.

 

Pretty sure sales of Zithromax are about to get a boost...

it's feelin' like a Dicky day!

parkour vs. not parkour

This is parkour.

 

 

This is a pair of stoners using parkour as an excuse.

 

I didn't realize you could get a Brazilian in that many places

Who knew?!

 

I love all things French.....well, maybe not *all*

Each evening when I go for a run, I pass by the Maxwell House Coffee roasting facility. LOVE the smell it gives off. And it's pretty old-school to have a roaster in the backyard, eh? With that said, maybe I'm a little biased toward wanting to like this new campaign from Maxwell House for their French roast, but the writing and casting are brilliant. The plunger line is perfectly delivered.

is pole dancing "social"?

I'm not the first person to question the long-term viability of Groupon, Living Social, et al. At some point, you've gotta wonder how they're going to sustain interest from businesses willing to give away the house in order to get an unsustainable sales bump. 

And if you need any more proof that group deal sites are struggling to recruit businesses, check out this gem of an offer via Living Social this week.

that's one way to sell me a drink

Checked into a Kimpton Hotel recently and was reminded of their clever marketing tactics.

First, there's the free happy hour every night for anyone who's interested. Nice touch.

Then, after you've had a few pops and head back up to your room, Kimpton offers free WiFi - but only if you join their InTouch loyalty program. Bingo - just captured your info and you're in their CRM system.

And then on this last trip, I was presented this card when I checked in. $15 in "free" minibar items is obviously baked into the room rate, but it's still really clever. If only a single airplane bottle of Jack weren't $15....
