From the “Too Good To Be True” files: American Apparel is holding a contest to find the best ass in the world. Yes, you read that right. Now check out the site and prepare to be amazed. Somehow, the creatives on AP sold the client on a way for hot chicks with even hotter backsides […]

Too many jokes.
The model for NormalFaster.com and extreme right wing nut job congresswoman Michelle Bachmann – separated at birth? Man, with the copy on this banner ad and the history of Ms. Bachmann, there are just too many jokes.

Wow technology.
I usually don’t get too wowed by gimmicky web technology. Mostly it’s either too much trouble to deal with, doesn’t work right, or isn’t really all that cool. I also hate it when people instantly make it out to be the best thing since sliced bread, even though it really doesn’t do anything. (Fouresquare to […]

Those cats run a nice operation out there. So nice in […]

This guy is a moron.

Finally, some decent writing.
No, not copywriting. Handwriting. And not just any decent handwriting, but a handwriting typeface that actually looks real. Suomi Hand Script by Tomi Haaparanta. You can get it here. One request: If you’re a DM shop, don’t overuse the Hell out of this. I can see it happening already. Via.

The Dog & Pony Show 
Get. Over. It.
Do you freak out when someone calls it a pad of paper or a bachelor pad? Do you snicker into your hand when you lay a baby on a diaper pad or sit on a mattress pad? Of course not. Then Get. Over. The Name. Yes, feminine hygiene products are called “pads.” So are 500 […]
