No, I’m not repeating my joke about Brad Pitt and the whores. This is somebody who buys fast food, takes it home, and takes a picture; then posts it side by side with the advertisement from the place.

Get brain

New York officials have been left red-faced after they discovered that clothing ads on city buses that appeared to promote reading suggested a love of books could be rewarded with oral sex.

The advertisements that ran on about 200 buses across the city in recent months carried posters displaying a suggestively posed woman in hot pants kneeling among a pile of books beside the snappy slogan “Read Books, Get Brain.”

What unhip, unsuspecting local transportation officials did not know was that “get brain” is street slang for oral sex.


A spokesman for the New York-based clothing maker noted the ad campaign had run since September and “we hadn’t had any complaints at all.”

VW ad

So tonite I see the Touareg commercial, the one that played a bunch during the olympics. It has the Richard Buckner tune (Ariel Ramirez) playing, and has the guy and a lady friend driving through the hills and up a mountain to take a picture. Then they drive back down and hand the camera, with a sad look on their face, to a little old lady standing near a tour bus.

Dude – you have a freakin’ four door SUV. Give the nice lady a ride to the top of the mountain so she can see it for herself. Seriously. Otherwise, she probably coulda bought a ten cent postcard, and then she wouldn’t have been standing around waiting on your happy ass to get back.

Oh, and Richard Buckner kicks ass. Carry on.
