Mad Men yourself
This is me going out for a night on the town with all my bling and the coffee I carry with me everywhere. Now you try.
Vintage Furniture in Greenpoint
Connie and Dom (new roommates) are curating/selling/hosting a sale of vintage mid-century furniture from an old Catholic church and school in Greenpoint. They’re having a sale this coming weekend and an open house on Friday (i’ll be making cupcakes!). Check out more HERE.
Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
Creepy or awesome? You decide.
ps. free pinkberry
not really exciting or newsworthy. i just thought i’d share…
Blog of the Day: Board of Hi Five
This is our pal Steve’s blog – and I loved his last post on the top five NYC subway ads:
Dr. Zizmor and 1888 Margarita are classics – but this may be my favorite
..about which the BoHF says “Good cause, but scary. I wonder if the person who got his eyes knows all the gruesome shit they saw on Law and Order.”
love that. see all five here.
Benjamin Button
I never saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button but I assume this video says it all.
Sexist vintage posters- harharhar
Check all 15 out here. The ones below are some of my favorites…
And finally… this is me posting to CWL from my telex-whatchamacallit
Thanks Nadia

need a male copywriter?
i shamelessly stole this from adage but it’s kinda awesome.
maybe i should take this copywriter’s idea and make a femalemuseumprofessional.com site when i start looking for jobs after grad school and make a flashy website featuring myself lying on a bearskin rug. i’m curious to see whether people actually respond to this…
Pet observation porthole: do want.
My sister sent me this amusing article about SkyMall. The NY Times loves reporting on how every tiny niche of society is suffering from the recession. Also, remember how Sarah had a SkyMall ad on her door of A1 for some dog bark collar?
Swine Flu PSAs from way back when
The second one is really creepy.
figure this out for me….
the comments on youtube suggest its not actually a mirror. i cant figure it out.
Because your car salesman should have many skills
Becky showed me this, which comes from Nadia. AMAZINGNESS! I need to freedomize the Ford Explorer!
these commercials are brilliant
Props to Mother London for making these brilliant little commercials. Below is a preview for the slightly longer “film” 24 Heures. The second is 8 Kilomètres and the last one is entitled Dial Hard .
this is ridiculous
seriously padma? this is paris hilton territory…
also, she keeps eating the hamburger but it never gets smaller. hmmmm.
sappy sap sap sap
i love this commercial. i think it’s super cute. does this make me lame?
I can’t believe this commercial was banned!
Actually, I totally can believe it. But watch it.
Posting this reminds me why I can’t tell anyone at work about my blog.
BEST commercial I’ve ever seen
You win, Samsung.
Kitten fireplace is my favorite!
I watched this without sound
But its message is clear.
and more… (see below)
apparently i cant stop watching these espn commercials
is it Shaquille O’Neal…again?
i love these. shaq, you’re huge.
also, grant mccracken (this blog sits at the intersection of anthropology and economics) does a quick analysis of the ads as well here
blog of the day: gold kit blog
for serious. this is gold kit’s real blog. look, the address is www.goldkit.com/blog.asp!
for all of you who don’t know what gold kit is, it’s those people on tv commercials all the time asking you to mail your extra gold to them in an envelope. because we all have extra gold lying around… i didn’t watch this year but i heard they had a commercial in the superbowl- or maybe i’m thinking cash4gold. whatever. same difference. this service would be great if you were a pirate or you wanted to cash in last year’s grill like these people below. the blog appears to mostly feature food with gold in it and white people wearing grillz. enjoy.
eggnog gold
Softwear by Microsoft
guess who has a new line of tshirts designed with the help of common…
my favorite is the gates mugshot.

wow- creepy commercial
i think this was an ad once…for what, i’m not sure.
Your best beaver friend
Didn’t play this with sound, so if it’s super offensive, tough luck.
This is a commercial in Australia that made lots of people complain.

You know what the Pepsi redesign reminds me of?

good job commercial, now I can’t get these ten numbers out of my head….
Ive been partying hard for the last three or four days, so i’m staying in tonight and watching tv. This commercial is playing at every commercial break and I can’t get it out of my head. C’mon mi gente…
See below.
Em- your post reminded me of this commercial i saw a bit ago and meant to put up.
“chubbies are like regulars now”
thanks go to kate for finding the image and the title. original post is here.
Walk of Shame
yup!
i should have been a film major
found it on gawker. its made by a production company called action figure. it’s awesome.
Sumo Car Wash
Don’t ask, just watch.
Again and again and again again
Like the video, not so hot on the song. Still worth a listen/view.
Vespa dudes
These wheatpasted ads are apparently going up all over Canada. I think they’re rad.
im feeling optimistic
…because i quit my job today, met a distant family member who gave me booze, had an awesome indian dinner and then found this.
Brendan knows this boy…
Devin Berry’s mom is Brendo’s godmomma…
I suppose that makes them godbrothers.
Look at this blog!
PhotoshopDisasters is exactly what it sounds like.
Mostly ad and magazine f*** ups. The cheap movie posters and celebrity photoshop problems are my favorites.
Do you put soap on your hands?
Then put soap in your butt! All the time! Aaahhhhhhh
