The Google Ad

Google is not one to make TV ads, but this year they decided to get into the mix – while usual SuperBowl Ad companies like Pepsico have decided to pass up the SuperBowl Ad nauseum (strange reversal of fortunes).

All about ambiguity
Part 2 of the ‘Funny Double Entendre’ series (check pt.1 here), this time these are some funny newspaper headlines that are in a desperate need for an edit.

Beyond 2D Imagination

Playboy’s smartest move

Marge Simpson will be on the cover for the November 2009 issue for the iconic magazine Playboy. One way to generate interest into a dying medium & publication is to blur the lines of reality – so kudos to Playboy for accomplishing buzz and pushing the imagination of many to actually contemplate what is under that green dress (insert joke here). This issue can spawn Playboy’s competitors to think of other crazy issues, such as Cartman’s mother from South Park in Hustler, or even Lois from the Family Guy — the sky is the limit.

Here are also some other interesting derivations of the iconic cartoon mother

Women in Mainstream Film

Women’s studies mash up from Brett Dan n Jacob on Vimeo.
