A half-caf skinny venti, with the words "U R AWESOME" on the foam of my latte, thanks.
Bubees move over, WTF kitty is here: First there was bubees, now there's WTF kitty who shows us that dramatic chipmunks got nothing on scottish folds. Nom nom nom nom... WTF?

Tila Tequila goes to the Gathering of the Juggalos in Illinois - says " 2 thousand people ran after us, trying to kill me" Unfunny: she looks like she got hurt. However, dude, you went onstage at a Juggalos gathering why did you think that was a good idea?
The circus came to town! There was classic clowns, a russian couple who changed their outfits as if by magic, daredevil acrobatic couple, camels you could ride, sea lions, strong men, jugglers, omg elephants!, popcorn and cotton candy! What was your favorite thing at the circus when you were wee?
MetaShoulderToCryOn Remember the amazing elevator video civilisation made by Marco Brambilla? Well, I learned this week that Kanye West hired him to create his new video "Power" and I got the exclusive to show it, I had to wait up last night as they didn't dare send before the embargo was up. Posted it. I went to bed and awoke to find it ripped all over the web (but they get culled from youtube) and nary a link or embed from adland. *sigh*
advertising rips off artist (again) They didn't even try to do anything new and different with their inspiration in this case. *sigh*

advertising case study mocks advertising case study - this is a bit of an injoke, but I thought it might still amuse you too. We are getting sick of those social-media-all-over-the-place ad campaigns aren't we?
Man on MSN poses as Libresse, gets young girls to undress - when Libresse press releases story, anon commenters laugh at "stupid girls". Dabitch calls Libresse, hears full story, sighs deep sigh. wtf is up with blaming victims people?
Lars Vilks attacked during art lecture today (video) - the lecture was on the theme "art and freedom of speech, where is the line?" .. I guess right about ..there?Read more...
Taz - we worry. Athens on fire - I was hoping it wouldn't come to riots like these. I hope all dogs, loved ones and best friends are OK and not caught in the middle. What is it like in the city these days? Is it as tense as newspapers make it out to be? Read more...
I need more websites that answers pressing questions - right now I need "whatthehellisthecatdoing.com". You?
"Nobody is typecasting you" feeling misunderstood today, I googled the world for the heck of it, found epic misunderstood thread. Sharing.
Audio hallucinations so, I'm betting a few of you here are familiar with sleep paralysis / hypnagogic hallucinations. I gots'em. The weird thing is, in my daughters room it's always a young males voice. (cue twilight zone music)Read more...

Two hour dental appointment tomorrow morning ...what should I load into my iPod to listen to while he goes at it? I must stay calm and be thoroughly distracted by headphones. I'm thinking really interesting podcasts rather than music. Which ones?
We print the books, you do the covers Hot on the heels of that illustrator thread,the covers designed by everyman here are sometimes quite awesome. Like the one for Dracual by Stuart and Pania Fleming.
sweet widdle kyoot bunnies in teacups - and ad so sweet you might have to get the insulin out.
It's long, it's gold, it has 28 round cut VS1 stones, for 360 degrees of wow on it ....it's a steal at $2,750. It's a vibrator. the link is SFW kinda, it's only the product shown
Lets celebrate our girls! NSFW real silicone free boobies grow up and old together. Pink Ribbon campaign from the Netherlands that actually airs on Dutch Telly.
ZINGOLO! infectious tune, awesome dancing by the High Sprits dance troupe, all proceeds of sold song go to CARE and each cocoa bean is now fair trade. This is officially my favorite Cadburys ad.
Baby girls first crush..... So, offspring has decided that the best song in the world right now is "Never can say goodbye" and she has a crush on "Mikall Jacksån", but only hearing the music and if she sees MJ as a very young boy on the stampsized youtube videos we've found. When he gets older she claims it's not him. Anyone know if there's some sort of DVD set of the very young MJ+J5 performances put together I could get for her? as I recall now, I went through a phase of having a massive crush on MJ too
"Cocks away" ....euhm....Well, I guess al "viral" ads need a little skin. D*cks invading Paris might be a tad much though.
For the record...That "banned German Sprite ad" is neither banned, by Sprite, nor from Germany. Nope, you can place the blame hip Brooklyn directors. (The ad itself is totally NSFW and rather gross). This has been a public service announcement from your resident adnerd.
Manscaper? Salad dodgers? Men who should have read the instructions? Finally, a parade that I and everyone else can join! two minute ad that aired last night down under, and funny as hell
aloe vera, check, sun factor 55+ check, after sun, check.... - I'm going to Cannes and will be in the sun for the first time since 2001 and jaaybus I have a big fat case of travel nerves. :)) What if I turn into a nice lobster-red and match my hair the first day?
"You need some girlfriends" .... So, I went the cheap route and tried waxing myself, underarms and legs. It took a million years and was supah-painful, and I'm now decorated in pretty red rashes where I've waxed and I gave up halfway. SO reckons I need girlfriends. Honestly, do girls wax each other? I never knew! ps how do I get the rashes to calm down it hurrrttttssss

Kangaroo! OMG! "My initial thought when I was half awake was: it's a lunatic ninja coming through the window," Beat Ettlin told the AAP news agency. "It seems about as likely as a kangaroo breaking in."
Viking Graffitti: Greece Runestones todays wiki article talks about the Greece runstones. Runestones are generally memorials to deceased men,
but can even be a pre-"Kilroy was here" tagging, found even as far away as Italy on the Piraeus Lion. Modern Runecarvers still do stones, Eriksson will even do your bike if you like.
bouncy stripey weird fish Ignore the women on the right, hit play on the left movie and watch that weird fish.
The apartment that time forgot It's a real shame that they don't show the kitchen and bath as from the description I understand it's from the thirties. What a combo, me wants! I'm off to play the lotto, since despite it being cheap it's way too pricey for me.

When T-shirt slogans are better than any picture-text. warning: britney shot. First time I saw this was ages ago, but her shirt really does say it all. I just can't wrap my head around why someone worth 150 bazgazillions would have a nanny feed her child as they ride an escalator. What kind of low-price nanny is this to allow such idiocy? Can't they find a dang chair somewhere?

NYT ignores us again. Stuart Elliot writes about an ad, which we have posted here, mentioning three US based sites that don't have the ad and leaving our link out (despite being told that we do have it.) Dammit!

Declaration of Revocation "The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.
Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies)."
