This one speaks (kicks) for itself. I originally saw the Spanish version. I guess it was placed again for the World Cup (being an older commercial and all).…

Septa is one of those things that can still be a pain in the neck even on its best day. From its fare increases, to its delightfully indifferent employees, to its overall culture of mediocrity, Septa really needs every dime…

I don’t think it’s any coincidence that this guy looks like J.J. from Good Times. This ad was placed in the very same month that Good Times went off the air (August 1979). Back then ads probably had a longer…

I checked out the back cover of the new Rolling Stone and I did a double take. It was the Orbit stewardess/flight attendant (gum attendant?) stripped down, without really being stripped down. The tag line reads “Unwrapped? Fabulous” with the…

I was surprised to see these ads placed consecutively on every other page. I thought it was so unusual. They say that it takes three impressions for a consumer to remember a product. In last month’s issue of Rolling Stone,…

You’re probably familiar with Maxim magazine already. The articles are thought provoking insights into current events and – who am I kidding. If you read Maxim, you read it for the scantily clad ladies and tips on how to get…
