Corona Christmas Tree Ad

christmas,
tree,
corona,
time
I know this is a bit of a non-sequitur in June, but I was just reminded of the Corona Christmas Tree ad from seeing another Corona ad. This Christmas Tree ad is really great; it?s one of the all time greats, really, for television advertising, I think. So what happens is, there is a night shot of...

Scotchgard Wine-Squishing (Proposed) Ad
scotchgard,
towel,
red,
out,
how
When I got out of the shower this morning, I attempted to dry off with a towel fresh from being laundered that felt like it has been Scotchgarded: that is to say, it didn't absorb the water, so much as it just seemed to push it around on me. And that's when it hit me that demonstrating Scotchgard...

Crestor Doctor?s Mirror Ad
patients,

could,
doctor,
mirror
Crestor has a commercial that?s been running on television for months at this point, where some actor pretending to be a doctor (standing in a city park with a large mirror, as people walk by, stop, and look at themselves pensively) says: ?I wish my patients could see what I see.? Well, isn?t the...

La Gauche et La Droite
gauche,

droite,
socialist,
french
As we all know, there is a word in English, "gauche", which means: "lacking ease or grace; unsophisticated and socially awkward." (Source: The dictionary in my computer's dashboard.) But seeing as how this word originates from the French word, "la gauche", meaning "the left", and seeing as how Fr...

Nerf Bricks?: Coming Through a TV Set Near You!
news,

just,
tv,
nerf
Hey, want to create jobs? How about making Nerf Bricks? in America? Every time I turn on the news, they?re just blatantly propagandizing and proselytizing for (or against, in one case) the president. This is disgusting, and every time I hear this crap, I just want to throw a brick through my TV s...

Daleks for Exterminator Ads

Tonight I brought over a silly Dr. Who movie for my niece to watch: Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., and I was trying to explain what the Daleks are to get her to give the movie a chance. (She loves Hammer horror movies from the 1950s and 60s, so I thought she might like this, too.) Well, we had ...

iPhone 5 Superman (Proposed) Ad
superman,

lois,
phone,

It used to be that Superman was generally associated with telephones, because in the 1950s television show Superman (which was syndicated on UHF stations when I was a little kid), Superman usually jumped into a phone booth to change into his Superman getup, and he was very well-known for doing th...

Marketing ?Miss? Causes Battleship ?Bomb?

As we all know by now, the movie Battleship has somehow failed to live up to the huge blockbuster status we all expected it to achieve. Now, since it?s not possible that the movie is to blame for this underperformance at the box office, it must be the manner in which the film was promoted that?s ...

Period Fashions for Natural Wonders?

For time immemorial, people have worn and appreciated the fashions of their times, only to be ridiculed by successive generations for their ?awful? and ?tacky? clothes, tastes, etc. This was true until recently, when fashion designers learned they could make far more money and make far less effor...

Political Stunt Daredevils
political,

I keep hearing about things that are described as a ?political stunt?, and it always conjures up images in my head that are far more interesting and sensational than whatever they?re talking about. I can?t even think of an example of a ?political stunt? I?ve heard about on the news panel shows, s...
