If you were to make a prank phone call to Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters (not that AdFreak is suggesting you do so,) what time should you pick? 3 a.m., of course, thus picking up the theme of the phone-call-in-the-night campaign commercial that seems to have helped her win in Ohio and Texas this week, and whose gist she repeated in her victory speech on Tuesday night. Already, several parodies are making the rounds online. There’s this Dr. Strangelove-inspired video from Coudal Partners. And there’s this spoof on YouTube, with a voiceover saying Obama doesn’t hear the phone ringing because he “snores too loud,†while Clinton does hear it because “she stays up all night. She wears pants suits at 3 a.m.†Sounds oddly plausible, don’t you think?

You know, it’s about time someone started making things that don’t encourage us to better ourselves. Hats off to Despair Inc. for allowing us not only to accept adulthood but to wallow in the ambitionless mire of it. The unattractive, disaffected models are a nice touch, and it’s good to know that their shirts aren’t “made in China by underfed children,†but by “shady and/or skanky-looking underfed 20-somethings who tend to like their shirts small and form-fitting.†Despair’s yearly demotivational calendars are great too, and they even allow you to design your own. Since every other company on earth profits from our lack of self-esteem, at least we know one company is up front about it. Via Make the Logo Bigger.
