PIP/LIP Challenge!

This morning, I saw this ad sitting on our table:

Yep.  That's a body builder in a little santa suit (looks like what the VS models wear in the catalogs - WTF?) with the face cut out.

So what are some of the most ridiculous ads you've seen?  Either print ads or commercials, if you can find the video.

Here is a HILARIOUS Japanese ad starring Nic Cage:

  • Oh and if you're Googling, you might want to turn on the 'safe search' option - I think a lot of stuff from other countries is NSFW.

  • The more I look at that ad, the more disturbed I am.  Ick.  Are you supposed to cut out a pic of your face and put it in there or what?  HA.

    Yes, I think you are.  Jeff joked that he was going to do it.

    It's REALLY disturbing in person.  He's all vein-y and glisten-y and he's wearing a tiny little outfit...

  • Yeah, I saw that one linked somewhere else recently and about died.  There was another one that I can't find now, but that Van Heusen company used to put out some of the most gender discriminatory ads EVAR.  They were bad.  Not to mention pretty much any soap ad had some connotation to racism which is just ridiculous.

    I should totally do it.  I'm pretty sure my annoying co-worker would never look over here again!

  • Good God.  Sometimes I wonder how people in advertising even have jobs!  I feel like I could come up with better, more effective advertising than half these clowns.

    I don't know what the relevance is to it but heres what Philip DeFranco said

    "Often when I?m getting head from a girl I think??1.  Thank god she has the same brand of shoes as me because poor girls give terrible head, FACT and 2.  A girl needs good shoes to be able to squat when she gives me head bc nothing is tackier than a girl who rests on her knees."

    As someone who works for an airport advertising vendor, some of the creative that comes through here is crazy. I think most of the A&F ads have to show chest and up and not what you see on a billboard outside.
