Chemistry.com the Anitidote to eHarmony's Fascism

November 15th 2008 02:47

Ok, I could not stand the series of Chemistry.com ads that featured a couple "I promising" to each other in a truly saccharine cheese fest that not only made me want to puke, but also made me want to break up with my boyfriend just to prove a point about how lame "couples" are.

And though I hate this ad, too, I have to at least acknowledge that the company is reaching out to gays. Unlike that self-righteous eHarmony -- whose commercials I really, really despise.

When does the lesbian version appear?

Ok, at first, I thought this was clever, but upon repeated viewing, I really cannot stand it.

I'm sitting here watching the Democratic National Convention coverage on CNN and C-SPAN, and this McCain ad comes on.

Chevy Ad Confuses Me...Help?

August 18th 2008 22:12

So, I have spotted an ad for the soon to be released Chevy Traverse. In this ad, a rather attractive shirtless man is ironing something. I assumed it was his shirt. He is on the phone, making a reservation for a six-month anniversary. The camera pulls back as he hangs up and lifts up the article of clothing for inspection. Looks like a dress...okay.

Then we get a shot of the all new and awesome Chevy Traverse, which I think is a "cross-over" whatever the hell that is other than a different word for SUV. A few more seconds of the Traverse, and back to the man. He is now on his knees, scrubbing a toilet, again shirtless. It's a very masculine bathroom, with a magazine rack with nary an In Style or In Touch, which tells me that it is either this man's bathroom or he shares it with another man

I Heart Doogie Howser!

Ah, Neil Patrick Harris...how many of us wrote him off years ago as a child star doomed to obscurity?

But no, he is bigger than ever. He's out and proud, he is the best part of a prime-time sitcom, and has made two rather mediocre films worth watching (more so in the first Harold and Kumar, because that second one was really sucky

This is brilliant! Great job, Haagen Dazs, not only creating a memorable ad, but also doing something rather tangible to help out honey bees and the CCD issue.

Everyone Loves Phil!

June 1st 2008 03:49

Ok, so I watch golf, religiously. What of it? I am comfortable with myself.

Anyhoo, these ads with Phil Mickelson are brilliant. I had to include them in AIOF, as this is a fine example of a non-annoying celebrity-based ad campaign. Who doesn't appreciate self-deprecation from the world's second-best golfer

Subaru Heaven or Just Another Abandoned Vehicle Dump?

May 8th 2008 03:01

I am not sure if you have happened across this commercial that Subaru has out. I have not seen it in a week or two, so I am hoping that Subaru has thought better of it and pulled it.

Here's a link if you want to watch it
