Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V. passes will be worse than the worst part of the Affordable Care Act.

"Do you have what it takes to be the Creative Director of the world's No. 1 adult website?"

That's the ballsy challenge from Pornhub, which recently launched a contest to create work-safe ads for the adult video site. 

"Traditionally, porn has been a taboo subject—but the fact is, over 35 million people visit Pornhub.com every day," notes the challenge's creative brief. "How do we reach the next 35 million? We need a national advertising campaign that can be channeled through mainstream media."

All entries must be "G-rated" and safe for work, although the results so far have been so drenched in innuendo that they probably don't qualify as either, as bros around the world let their creative juices flow.

Check out the full gallery on the contest's (SFW) Tumblr page, or just browse some of the more interesting submissions below. It's going to be hard, but a few seem like they could go all the way.

 
—Bus stops are so hot right now.

Rooster NY has teamed up with Vans for a new series called “How to Do Everything in the World,” starring Gavin McIness, of baby-fighting fame.

The series marks the third straight season Rooster has teamed up with Vans for their “Off The Wall” programs, a common sense match considering the agency/production company’s skateboarding proclivities. “With all the life hacks and listicles available on the web, we wanted to make sure that the really, really, really important things people need to know didn’t slip through the cracks,” says Arzi Rachman. The new series promises to teach viewers how to “fight, drink fly, and more.” And if Gavin McIness’ involvement is any indication, we can probably expect it to be pretty funny. Check out the trailer for yourself above, and keep your eyes peeled for the new series starting on April 23rd at the Off The Wall site.

Ah, fuck it, we’re honestly tired of the bullshit, so let’s go back to roots. And, of course, naysayers we have to keep this shit anonymous.  We’re just being respectful, people. Feel free free to draw your own math. We’ve been here a billion times. Thank you and welcome to the party, pal:

“As a [redcacted} ‘lifer’ I feel it my duty to report that [redacated] previously head of the central region and recently promoted to CEO USA has now lost the confidence and respect of us lowly employees, He presided over the disgaceful debacle with the agency chasing Motorola whilst still working for Samsung – corporate greed and ego all wrapped up in a utter diabolical impact for many of my collegues.And also he presided over the loss of our flagship client, Kellogg  who famously asked for [redacted] to never attend another meeting with them after disrespectfully eating and talking with his mouth full during a presentation.

Fact is [redacted] has no inter-personal skills, is absent/distant to most of us and he simply doesn’t support creativity = nor actually understand brands. those of us who haven’t yet been laid off due to his leadership are expecting him to be axed due the dramatic downturn under [redacted’s] watch = at least that is the word in the halls at [redacted].
