Cyrillic in the mirror
Cyrillic in the mirror

If you are a social bookmarking sites fan, you should already know this creative poster for Russian Bear vodka. When you look at this poster normally, you’ll just see some random communist propaganda and may not even notice that it is not russian if you can’t read cyrillic characters. If you look at it in […]

Commercials that are so bad that they’re good
Commercials that are so bad that they’re good

The following bad commercials are what saves me when I feel down. I just watch a few of those and I immediately feel better. Bad design, shitty actors, wacky typefaces, everything is so bad in it that it just makes you feel good about yourself. Enjoy! The best of all, an old polish ad that […]

This ad for the TV tribute to his work is just great and expresses perfectely what Serge Gainsbourg has brought to music in France. If you don’t know about Gainsbourg and sex, Whitney Houston knows. Just a short clip by […]

Mc Donalds on your kids report card
Mc Donalds on your kids report card

Now this is exactly what I call unethical advertising. I’ve always wondered why Mc Donalds had such a bad reputation, apart from the bad food they serve and how the way they pay their employees, and there is my answer. They seem to be ready to do about anything to get their name out there, […]

Only in France: USB wine downloader
Only in France: USB wine downloader

Funny, download you wine straight from any computer with this new french product. Obviously this product is fake, but it is a real marketing campaign for a wine reseller. The website is in french, but I guess it’s easily understandable for anyone.
