Duran Duran wants us to know they’re not happy with Yoplait |

Yoplait used Duran Duran‘s song Hungry Like the Wolf in an ad and the band took their website today to express their displeasure about it.
Many of you have written to us, voicing your dismay about the recent license of our song Hungry Like the Wolf, to a yoghurt commercial. Please know, Duran Duran do not support this usage of their music and unfortunately, this particular license was granted without any prior notification to any of us. Had we known, under no circumstances would we have backed it.
Thankfully, the ad has now been taken off the air and moving forward we hope to avoid any further situations like this.
Personally, I don’t have a problem with the song’s usage in this commercial. I don’t think it is that bad. To be honest, I prefer this to what H&M did their hit Girls on Film.
But what is really interesting about their message, is that we found out that musicians don’t always have control over who uses their tunes. It’s sad that they don’t have power over their own music. I wonder how many other musicians have been in D²’s situation and what advertisements used their songs without their permission. I’d like to think that is what happened to Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman because I detest the M&M’s commercial with I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That).

This Old Spice ad will scare every woman |

Old Spice has a new commercial called Momsong. It starts out normal enough, but then it gets really weird. I am not saying that because the mom is singing, but because she and several of the other moms become stalkers as they spy on their sons. Thus anyone woman who is watching this ad and dating or married to a mama’s boy will be afraid to date him because she will be fearing his mom is following them around. Moms will be scared of this advertisement because their truth has been revealed. They are saying, “Dang you, Old Spice.”
Other than that, I love the song.
Finally, do men still wear Old Spice?

Joey Fatone is the new scalp of Bosley! |

Joey Fatone was in one of the biggest boy bands ever and he was suffering from something that so many men suffer from. He was saying bye bye bye to his hair, so he decided to do something about it. The Singing Bee host went to Bosley and now he is buzzing about how well it worked for him. You don’t just have to take his word for it, his full head of hair is all the proof you need because now he is looking just like he did when in *NSYNC.
He isn’t the only one who has gotten great results from Bosley, Christopher Knight aka Peter Brady is also loving the difference they have made on his hairline! And so am I!

This Japanese ad will leave you with tire tracks…in your underwear! |

A tire company in Japan called, Autoway, came up with an interesting way to promote how durable their tires are. Only problem is that the tire tracks it leaves will not be on the road, but in your pants because it is one of the scariest, if not the scariest, commercials ever created.
Granted it didn’t bother me, but I am desensitized from all the horror movies I have already seen that are just like this ad.
Were you scared? More importantly would you buy their tires after watching that commercial?

Jingle Balls, Jingle Balls, Jingle all the way to my heart!!! |

Joe Boxer has come up with the best ad ever and I can’t stop watching it over and over again!
Basically it is 6 men playing Jingle Bells with their balls and it has me so in the Christmas Spirit. So much so, it has hypnotized me to the point that I will get every man I know a pair of Joe Boxers. Because not only they look comfortable, but I am hoping that some of them will be able to do the same thing. I don’t know why but watching them just calms me down…and makes me majorly horny!!! Isn’t that what Christmas is all about? Giving!
