Oh, J.C. Penney, you need some help, don't you? First, with that ridiculous "Too Pretty for Homework" t-shirt and now with this insanely misguided commercial. It might—might—be excusable to use a bikini-clad Phoebe Cates (from 1982, wtf?!) to sell your men's dress shirts if it made ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER. But it doesn't! Are you using computers to come up with your concepts now? Did this ad result from some sort of ad algorithm gone wrong: lady in bikini + sports personality = middle-aged men buy things. Beep bop boop. Yeah, the problem with that equation is this: in these modern times, if you insist on playing off of broad stereotypes, an ad has to be clever and funny. More »

This ad, for climax delay Olla condoms, offers yet another example of weirdly anthropomorphized sperm. What is it about the little swimmers that seems to call for cartoon-treatment? What say you, can sperm ever be cute? [CopyRanter] More »

Attention passengers: the skycouch is not for forking. Air New Zealand wants you to know that their so-called "cuddle class" is not to be used for afternoon delights. But spooning is cool - just keep those prongs to yourself. [Copyranter] More »

This ad, created by Y&R Buenos Aires, has got to be one of the dumbest condom ads we've ever seen. However, it does make us vaguely hopeful that the bra-cum-gas-mask is going to be a big trend for spring. [Copyranter] More »

Bathing suits in Barcelona now feature hygienic protectors in swim bottoms that feature a picture rusty razor blade that sits right under your ladyarea to raise awareness about genital mutilation. Wow, genius and kinda gross. • Josef Fritzl is apparently writing his memoirs while in prison, much to the horror of his daughter/rape-victim for 24-years, Elisabeth. • Mothers who give birth to unexpected twins are more likely to be depressed and anxious after pregnancy, however women who conceived with IVF or other fertility treatments are usually less blue. • This one is for the dudes: having sex less than once a week will increase the likelihood of developing erectile dysfunction.

What the fuck is this? It's an ad for coffee products. Perhaps they are fucking with us, because coffee is an addictive drug and therefore they could make an ad with coffee beans shooting out of Bob Dole's anus and you would still have to buy it? Or do Stella coffee products have special hallucinogenic properties? (Click tag to make it SCARIER.) [Copyranter] More »

This Schlitz ad from the fifties is a rare combination of wretched and awesome. On its face, it's oh-no-they-didn't, not-even-in-the-Donna Reed-era sexist. But it is also timelessly resonant to anyone who ever exploded dinner in the microwave and just got extra drunk instead. [Copyranter] More »
