Matchup #1:
Canada’s Lost Jaw anti-dip ads vs. Dexter’s viral campaign.

  Mr. Scabby Face survived an Elite Eight showdown with the anorexic. Now, he faces Dexter’s creepy “Make a friend feel like the target of a serial killer” viral campaign, which disarmed The Back-Up bedside shotgun in the previous round. Who will make mincemeat of whom?
  UPDATE: Dexter’s viral campaign leaves the Lost Jaw guy even more bruised and bloody than he was before. See the vote totals here.

The stakes are getting high in our Freakiest Advertising Moment of 2007 contest, which continues today with the Elite Eight. (See the full bracket here.) Four freaky matchups are featured below. Vote for a winner in each one. Voting in this round continues through midnight on Tuesday night.

Matchup #1:
Italy’s anti-anorexia ads vs. Canada’s anti-dip ads.

  Isabelle Caro became the extremely skinny Cinderella story of the tourney when she took down the great undead Orville in the Sweet Sixteen. Now she goes up against Mr. Bloody Face, with a spot in the Final Four at stake.
  UPDATE: Lost Jaw backs up his trash talking with a solid win. See the vote totals here.

Matchup #3:
Starburst’s little lad vs. Pioneer’s laughing-eye ads.

  The little lad continues his grating, dandyish progression through the tournament, but here he faces biological experiments gone wrong in Pioneer’s Kuro campaign. Expect the lad to sing a particularly shrill berries-and-cream song if he advances.
  UPDATE: Pioneer’s mouthy eyes send the little lad home early. See the vote totals here.

Matchup #1:
Orville Deadenbacher vs.

Italy’s anti-anorexia ads.

  Orville and his cold, dead stare may be the favorite, but he has an unhealthy challenger in Isabelle Caro, the French woman who was featured in Italy’s anti-anorexia campaign. 
  UPDATE: Deadenbacher is out, as Isabelle sends him back to the grave. See the vote totals here.
