Just did it.
You knew these were coming: the Tiger Woods “Just Did It.” shoes. These custom hi-tops from YaoKustoms have it all – Tiger with his crashed SUV, Elin with the 9 iron, and portraits of just a few of the 19 women claiming to have slept with the Nike franchise himself. Via.

Kotex gets real.
This Kotex spot is a bit too self-conscious for my taste. It mocks tampon commercials for their superficiality… but then doesn’t give a single real reason for a woman to buy them over another brand.

Have you seen the Olive Garden spots where they talk about the great dishes they create at the Olive Garden Culinary Institute of Tuscany? Admit it, you laugh a little and think “bullshit.” It’s like when Certs made up “Retsyn” to try and differentiate their breath mints from all the others. But here’s the rub […]
