Two Things

"...and a pretty smart shopper." I almost did a spit take on that one. Pretty funky website, too.

With great slack power comes great slack responsibility. View some more amusing vintage ads here.

Photos of TV

Mike Sacks has written for GQ, Esquire, Radar, The New Yorker, and McSweeney's. You'll currently find him on the editorial staff of Vanity Fair magazine. And occasionally snapping photos of television. Hilarious stuff. Lots more over at his site.

Cereal Mascot Reunion

Reuniting with old friends. It's not always magically delicious.
    You can purchase this limited edition print, and peruse other work from artist Rob Sheridan, over at his blog.

Ad Moustaches

You know what that boring ad needs? A good moustaching, according to this site. Moustache Me even provides you with a nice variety of black vinyl nose-manes to choose from (I'm partial to The Bolton). Order a few, go wild on your local advertising scene, then email pictures of your handiwork back to Moustache Me for the whole world to enjoy.

Most Wanted Painting

In honor of Presidents Day here in the United States, I offer up America's Most Wanted Painting. This painting was scientifically assembled in 1994 after asking 1,001 American adults what they most enjoy in a painting. The color blue, realistic landscapes, historical figures, wildlife, and happy families scored very high. Hey, you can't argue with poll numbers. Read more about this project from artists Komar and Melamid right here.

Parkwheel

It's one thing to wish you had more green space in your city. With the help of three fellow Dalhousie University classmates, David Gallaugher created this grass-lined wheel to cleverly demonstrate the need.

Santa Sessions

Anyone who has ever been involved with a voice over session can relate to this clip. Everyone else can simply be horrified by the all-too-common practice of production by committee. (My favorite part is when the copywriter whines.) Nicely done, Dailey and Associates.

More Party Animals

Donkeys. Elephants. And now, well, practically everything else. The folks over at More Party Animals believe American voters deserve a few more choices when it comes to political party logos. Of course, they'll be more than happy to sell you some t-shirts, buttons, and stickers, too.

The Bearded Cap

As seen in the latest issue of Dwell. I like. I want.
