Stale Vegetarians

Julie O'Shea posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Okay, first of all, I have nothing against vegetarians.  My college roommate was a vegetarian and introduced me to a whole new world of greens.  I am so pro-veggie.  Carrots, lettuce, onions- how could food so tasty be so wrong?  With a little help from PETA.  Now, PETA and bad advertising are ...

Give It To Me Quick

I hate ramblers.  I mean, who doesn’t?  They go on and on and on and… okay, you get the point.  That’s why I love a good ole’ to-the-point blog.  Here are five hysterical blogs that need to be both bookmarked and added to your daily cycle of websites: 1. Probably Bad News 2. Fail Blog ...

The Ugly Side of Dallas

Julie O'Shea posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Well, I have officially been living in Dallas for a grand total of 3 months and have already found the worst commercial… perhaps, ever made. I’m pretty sure this is a local ad as it features two Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and, let’s be honest, no other city cares about the Dallas Cowboys che...

Sometimes It Just Takes a Little Yellow Vest

Julie O'Shea posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Volkswagen seems to constantly churn out novel advertising concepts. I love this new nontraditional ad Ogilvy came up with for Cape Town, South Africa. Many people think that in order to capture someone’s attention you need something big and something expensive. That just isn’t true. VW’...

Banner Ad Killer on the Loose!

Julie O'Shea posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Banner ads are irritating.  Perhaps, the only thing more irritating is the Sham Wow guy… but that’s another story. The most irritating of all banner ads has got to be the virtual people doing a sort of rain dance in the corner of your web browser. I mean lower insurance quotes are great but s...

Another Round of McCruelty

Julie O'Shea posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
PETA does it again! Their newest “McCruelty” ad stars Martin Short and Andy Dick. Thank God they didn’t pull an Alicia Silverstone and go nude for the ad. Andy Dick plays Ronald McDonald and clearly derives the character from Heath Ledger’s Joker while Martin Short plays his interviewer i...

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Songbird

Julie O'Shea posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
AHRQ and the Ad Council collaborated on a public service campaign to beseech patients to ask questions at the doctor’s office. Sounds harmless, right? Not so much. It’s rarely a good idea to use the spin of “and then we’ll just have everyone break out into song” in a commercial… espec...

Adventures in Bizarre Advertising

Julie O'Shea posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
One of the great races ad people compete in is seeing who can find the oddest, most unassuming place to stick their client’s latest ad.  Those who mark the territory first are hailed for years to come as the advertising guru who gave new meaning to thinking outside the box.  However, sometimes t...

Go Kill Yourself. No, Really.

Julie O'Shea posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
We thought the cigarette companies couldn’t get any sketchier than the time they changed all their mascots to cartoons to entice kids to try their sticks of death (and suddenly, more kids could recognize Joe Camel than Mickey Mouse or Fred Flintstone). Well, folks, we were wrong. Their newest ad...

Hm… This Looks Familiar

Julie O'Shea posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
McDonald’s has finally returned to what made it famous so many decades ago: the burger.  The national chain has unveiled their new Angus Third Pounder burger, positioning it as the creme de la creme of their burger selection. According to Ad Age, McDonald’s wanted to create an edgier ad campaig...
