Penn & Teller have taken their act to Broadway for a few weeks. The magicians really want you to see their show, so much so that they took out a billboard that reads, “They’ll blow you”.
That is enough to get me to go. After all, we know that they can make magic happen!
We know that celebrities love to carry their pooches around in the purses, so Coach came up with an advertising campaign using celebs dogs. The pampered pups are Lady Gaga’s Asia, Miranda Kerr’s Frankie and Ariana Grande’s Toulouse. No word if the ads include Grande’s Beagle-Chihuahua mix licking a donut. If they did, I would buy a Coach purse.
Not only did Coach put this canines to work, they donated money to their favorite charities. Those charities are Downtown Dog Rescue, Best Friends Animal Society’s No Kill Los Angeles and Chicago French Bulldog Rescue.
Little Caesars has surrounded their pizza crust with bacon. Pizza Hut Down Under put meat pies in theirs. Now the Yanks are putting pigs in a blanket in theirs. On June 18th, you can order your pepperoni pizza surrounded by mini franks from Pizza Hut. It’s an appetizer and a meal all rolled into one. When you are done, you can call 9-1-1.
I don’t know what has happened in the last few years, but I think all of fast food companies are trying to kills us even faster than they did before. Every time I wonder, what the heck they are going to come up with next, they come up with something even more horrifying and scrumptious than the last thing. For the last few days I’ve seen ads from Carls Jr for their The Most American Thickburger that is topped with a hot dog and bottomed out with chips. As disgusting and unhealthy as that looks, I so want to sink my teeth into one. Just as my mind pictures it, my heart reminds me what I shouldn’t do with a painful reminder.
What is the most tantalizing thing you’ve seen from a fast food company recently?

Schick came up with an ingenious way to advertise their Hydro Silk TrimStyle Razor, and I am sure the commercial will get men excited! They had three ladies in bikinis come out to trim their bushes, that were as the same height as their own bushes, and then they had them cut the excess bush away. The two women with scissors messed it up, while the one with Schick was able to shape her bush into a heart. Like I said, I am sure the men will heart this ad.
I have to admit that this ad took a lot of balls, even though there were no balls used in the making of it.
Lastly, I love Schick’s schtick. Whoever came up with this commercial really has razor sharp wit.
I’ll stop before you find a new use for their razor and it is on me.

It is a sad day in the advertising because Comcast’s complaints reportedly got DirecTV to pull their Rob Lowe ad campaign. According to CNBC, the Council of Better Business Bureaus’ National Advertising Division ruled against DirecTV, saying that some of the claims in their commercials are false, and because of that they had no choice but to pull the advertisements for the time being. I say for the time being because they plan on appealing the decision. I hope they win because I really enjoyed Rob Lowe and all of his alter egos.
Talking about the Brat Packer, here’s what he said about it on Twitter, “Recent events have underlined my belief that for something to be truly original, funny and subversive, there must also be fallout. #Life”
