Sarcasm Makes Me Laugh

I stumbled upon a funny blog yesterday, Dear Douchebag, and today's post featured an article about America's Next Top Model advertisements getting stripped from Santa Monica buses. I'm all for Tyra's mug getting ripped off of public surfaces, she's over exposed as it is, but the rep for CW had a great sarcastic quote on the issue:

"It's a jungle out there in bus marketing. Even America's next top models aren't safe anymore," CW spokesman Paul McGuire said.

A jungle it is indeed sir. A jungle it is. That's just a great smart ass remark and I wanted to give the guy credit for it.

One in the Stink

Not to get all Copyranter on you, but this new Butterfinger logo has me a little grossed out. Who wants to by candy from a hand that looks like it's been engaging in a little anal play? Yeah, I don't think I'm going to follow your stinky finger. Thanks, but no.

Damn straight, Monkey. I don't want to touch that shit covered button either.

UPDATE: Just a quick update here. Despite linking to Copyranter I had no idea he had done a Butterfinger post. I assumed he probably did, but I never read it. Of course today while checkingout his site he linked to a previous post of his from July discussing the Butter-shit-finger. This is why he writes for Gawker and I write for you.

Anyway, I didn't want to appear like a total hack to the five random people who stagger across my blog everyday, just a naive hack. So that's that.

More Stupidity from Lowermybills.com

What do I do when it's 69 degrees on January 6th? I post about Lowermybills.com. This is a strict rule that I have. So, being that it is 69 degrees here in New York City on January 6th here's a yet another incredibly stupid Lowermybills.com advert. We're getting closer and closer to the lip piercing ad. Now I'm off to Coney Island to get ice cream.

Bad Ads - Jessica Simpson/Direct TV

The commercial that is currently living in my nightmares is the Direct TV/Daisy Duke ad that runs, oh, just about every five minutes on any given station at any given time. Jessica Simpson is such a bad actress she can’t even speak with a decent Southern accent despite the fact that she’s from the South and has a Southern accent. She's so bad she acts her way out of her accent. This commercial makes me want to pour lye on my hand Taylor Durden style.

LowerMyBills.Com Loves the Tatties

Here's a new LowerMyBills.com tattoo advertisement. Here's an old one. Call me old fashioned, but I just don't get it.

Would You Sign Your Life Away To This Company?

Here's an ad I found on Yahoo! today from Lowermybills.com. You may recognize that name as it's usually found in-between a "penile enlargement" and a "nude pictures of Lindsay Lohan" email in your spam folder.

I realize tattoos are all the rage in this "alternative-style-to-look-like-everyone-else" age, but a cartoon needle inking a "Calculate New Payments" tattoo on your arm? It comes across as slightly, if not, obscenely ridiculous. Not to mention sleazy. This is not the place I'd go to sign 30 years of my life away. I don't know, something about it just screams, “predatory lending!”

What's next, a flash animated lip piercing promoting doctors in your area?
