Monday Morning Badvertising – This Time From France!
29 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I don’t understand this. At all. I mean, I’m tempted to just leave this here and let you guys draw your own conclusions, but I feel like you’re owed some kind of explanation. Which is unfortunate, because I have nothing for you. Sexualized CGI animals. Using Orangina as a household product. In France.

Nando’s Punishes Cell C With 5G Chicken
27 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Nando’s have taken things to the next level this time, with the appointment of their new “CEO.” His name is Kagiso and the whole ad rips off every ounce of the Trevor Noah Cell C ads. They mention 5G (rather than Cell C’s claimed 4G) and they even play with the Cell C ‘logo’ at the end. Full marks!

Youtube’s Ad Of The Year Isn’t The Old Spice Guy
23 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Instead, it’s a video of some dude using a woman and a small child as a seatbelt. Or it’s about hugs. Or maybe they’re saying a woman and child will hug you if you drive a car in Sussex? I’m not totally sure, because the important thing to note here is that somehow this lost […]

22 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
There’s a restaurant in Pringle Bay, just an hour from Cape Town, called Hook, Line, and Sinker. When you walk in to this effortlessly cool establishment you are guided to a table hewn from American Poplar that is scrubbed daily with Sunlight liquid and once a week rubbed lovingly with Cobra wax.

The Inevitable Adriaan Bergh, Mr South Africa Parody [VIDEO]
17 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 11 Comments
It didn’t take long for the inevitable parodies of our Mr South Africa hero, Adriaan Bergh, to start travelling the interwebs. While this latest Mr South Africa wannabe certainly has potential, he unfortunately lacks the fifth and most important characteristic that we look for in a Mr South Africa which is, of course, access to a golf cart.

Monday Morning Badvertising – Death Planes
15 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If you’re trying to sell air tickets, it’s a very, very bad idea to have the words “death” and “holiday” in the same advertisement. 1Time Airlines, who have apparently taken up the mantle from Nationwide as South Africa’s scariest airline, have done just that with this delightful email campaign. Your Monday morning dose of badvertising, after the jump.

Cao ni zu zong shi ba dai. It’s probably about time I learned to speak Mandarin. According to research just published by the Conference Board, a highly respected research institute, the Chinese economy will overtake that of the poor old US by 2012 in terms of output.

Just last week we reported how Myspace was repositioning itself as a “social entertainment platform”. As if to prove us right, they’ve only gone and exclusively previewed the brilliant new OK Go music video featuring 2,430 slices of toast in one of the most epic stop-motion animations I’ve seen in a long time.

The Walking Dead: Because We Needed More Zombies
09 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Zombies are everywhere. They’re in your movies, in your video games, in your Jane Austen, in your head (in your head) – and then some brilliant young mind decided that we needed a zombie-based television series. Wonderful – way to keep those fresh ideas coming. Except The Walking Dead might be the franchise to put this whole ‘undead’ craze to rest for a while.

Fake Time Travel To Get Out Of The Friend Zone [VIDEO]
09 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
‘So, you’re in love with one of your friends, but she has a boyfriend and probably wouldn’t have sex with you anyway’ is pretty descriptive, as titles go. You probably don’t need much more to go by than that. It’s funny and you should watch it. The fireman here knows what I’m talking about.

Fed Up
04 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The central bank of the United States of America, the Federal Reserve, in response to the recent Great Recession has acted swiftly, decisively and boldly. Its answer to a catastrophe that was caused by irresponsible lending by greedy banks to Ninjas (no income, no job or assets) has been to cut interest rates to the bone and flood the economy with cheap money in the hope it’ll be used to kick start the economy.
So in other words, as I see it, in order to fix a problem caused by cheap money they’ve made money even cheaper. I often do the same thing after a big night in (I don’t go out anymore) and the inevitable skull bursting hangover.

Nude Service Industry Is Booming

There is easily nothing I like doing less than going to the hairdresser or doing housework. However, two enteprising companies on either side of the globe are looking into that problem for me. And by “looking into that problem”, I really mean “providing topless stylists”.
