Who's Doing Better Ad Reviews Than I Am?

Today's edition isn't really an ad review as much as it is a huge compilation of ads utilizing sex appeal. And by huge I mean like John Holmes huge. Most of the stuff is pretty recent ranging from the WTF:



to the creative:


to "I'm pretty sure they're crossing the line"


to "Yeah, they're crossing the line"


It's obvious that human eyes will avert to your work when it is so blatantly sexual. But remember, if there is no substance or story or concept, you are just another scumbag advertiser trying to trick the poor, innocent American consumer. At least we're not lawyers.

Who's Doing Better Ad Reviews Than I Am?

This is the first edition of many posts featuring posts from people who are just straight up better at what I'm trying to do. Today's post comes from the absurdly terrific Cracked.com; it's called "7 Insane Ads That Have No Idea What They're Selling." Here's a piece and an excerpt:

It's a very entertaining read throughout and they've stumbled upon some really inane ads from Sprite, Xbox, and, of course, France.
