Unilever has considently won awards and taken over my Facebook timeline with advertisements like the one above for Dove, in which women are forced to confront the low self-esteem embedded in their psyches by advertisements.

Where is my real mommy?

The NRA is in the midst of constantly re-branding itself, as is necessary when you’re the most powerful gun lobbying group in a nation where everyone, including children, are constantly murdering each other with guns. Honestly, though, this two-month-old ad, part of a series on how brave and tough Americans are: It’s …

Have you ever visited one of the United States’s 411 national parks and thought, “This experience would be more fulfilling if my view of this spectacular landscape included a logo for my favorite brand”? If so, you’re in luck!

In the lead-up to New York’s April 19 primary, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have released NY-centric ads focusing on the fact that they’re not hideous bigots. Sanders’ ad focuses on his “New York values,” as a subtle fuck-you to Ted Cruz, while the Clinton ad focuses on the terrifying nightmare that is a…

Justin Bieber’s not at all awkward campaign with Calvin Klein continues with another ad that finds him flaunting just as the Greek gods used to do back in the day.

The Yukon territory in Canada is cold, dark, and sparsely populated—circumstances that require Yukon’s Health and Human Services to encourage residents to really go crazy on that D.

In November 1990, Ladies Home Journal devoted a special issue to listing America’s fifty most powerful women. (Included: Oprah Winfrey; Barbara Bush; Cher.) So it’s impossible to look at this accompanying Lean Cuisine ad without noticing that woman’s sharp suit.

Anybody got the tech to fold the space-time continuum? If so, would you be willing it loan it out, so that I might order some “sassy sweats” from the makers of the diet soda Tab, circa 1986?

It’s 1985. You’re a walnut brand looking to imbue your grocery-store products with an aura of impossible glamour. What do you do? Obviously, you hire All My Children mainstay and living legend Susan Lucci to host a “World’s Richest Recipe” contest.

Here’s something I never expected to write: Old Tupperware commercials are mesmerizing, brilliant, and strangely convincing. Dips keep dippier! Hams keep hammier! My God!

Here, via Digg, is five straight minutes of ‘80s commercials set to Flock of Seagulls’ “I Ran.” But this isn’t merely some strung-together compilation of ads. It’s carefully edited to produce a deeply unsettling experience, like being stuck in this 1972 Playskool toy computer with a drunk Max Headroom. Cornflakes…

Mike Huckabee has a new ad. (In related and probably somewhat surprising news for most of the country, Mike Huckabee is still running for president, polling at around 6 percent.) In an exceedingly strained metaphor, the ad compares Washington D.C. to a strip club of some kind:

1. Her pompadour.

Those exploitative and innuendo-filled ads American Apparel has become notorious for will soon be nothing more than a memory. Bloomberg reports the company has announced plans to “recast the brand in a positive, inclusive, socially conscious light.” That means less nudity, and more clothes. You know, the stuff they…

There are lots of recommendable things about Vote Audrey, a short film directed by Lena Dunham to promote fashion designer Rachel Antonoff’s collaboration with & Other Stories. It’s bright, it’s bubbly, it features our very own Collier Meyerson. The story of a young politico (Zoe Kazan) who, despite discouragement,…

Are you? This is Justin Timberlake as a lime.

Here’s the the first ad from Rihanna’s much-anticipated union with Puma—in which she is a creative director for women’s and muse to the world.

Some questions: Why does SoundCloud, sweet cloudpunk tweenrave trap-remix oasis, have ads all up in my ear now? Why does Instagram have a “@music” channel and a @music editor and a plan to roll out @music longform Instagrams and a goddamn Monthly Hashtag Project? This is going to be an anti-explainer, because there is…
