Kurt Cobain’s cigarette butt for sale on eBay
Posted in: UncategorizedGrey Melbourne wants people to know that cigarette butt’s are made of harmful plastic acetates which practically last forever, so they are using the tried and true method of setting up an Ebay Auction to spread the word. In it they’re selling Kurt Cobains cigarette butt.
(I wonder if anyone told ebay that this is actually an ad/ad-stunt? eBay tend to kill “false auctions” so it seems wise to have let them in on the idea…. I’d test this by reporting a fraudulent listing but one needs an eBay account for that and I can’t be arsed.)
The auction reads:
This butt is 13 years old but in amazing condition. Luckily butts are made of plastic acetates and are full of toxic chemicals that last forever. They are not made of paper and cotton, which is what most people mistakenly think.
So rest assured this valuable piece of rock n’ memorabilia will be a valuable part of any collection for years to come.

Designer // Slash // Model – words from the pretty people.
Posted in: UncategorizedOmg, these MODEL SLASH DESIGNERS are making me laugh. “Perfect people make perfect design”. Chaz is “The original pixelfucker”, Gunther has some wise words for you, Chrissy is just so cool, y’all. And when you’ve uploaded your own gorgeous face get the T-shirt.
Another thing that gave me a serious case of the giggles today – typographic irony: Precisely What the Author Had in Mind

Hitler needs another Art Director, schnell!
Posted in: UncategorizedA while ago MaketheLogoBigger posted The great Art Director Escape, and I see now that adding funny subtitles to this film has become a bit of a meme like LOLcats. Der Untergang is a thoroughly impressive depressive movie where Bruno Ganz portrays Adolf Hitler so realistically you’d think it was a documentary. I saw it twice in the movie theatres, once without subtitles (and I don’t speak German!).

Really silly ad for the Ukranian army – Tank cruising for babes!
Posted in: UncategorizedPlease tell me this ad with its not so subtle “tank cannons are phallic!” symbolism isn’t for real. It does direct viewers to kontraktnik.mil.gov.ua at the end so it just might be though. If this is really how they lure young men to the Ukrainian army, those young men must be pretty disappointed that they aren’t roaming the country in their awesomely cool tanks picking up miniskirt-clad babes in every town. I mean seriously, they’re selling “Join the army” on cruising? Tank-cruising no less, which is cooler than a convertible, I must admit. Found via the idea grove.

Dexter viral campaign proves to be one of the most memorable of 2007
Posted in: UncategorizedThat Dexter Viral campaign created by London agency Ralph which according to them “proved so controversial that Ralph received calls of complaint from the public and London’s Scotland Yard Police” is still quite sticky months after its release. The premise it the fun personalization trick, where you can type in a friends name and freak them the hell out used in many a viral campaign before we were even set a personal one but we didn’t take it seriously since the serial killer in this video is looking for a mid-30’s male with a background in media calling themselves Ad Rag, so I figured us Art Directing females of undefined age calling our site Adland and ourselves Dabitch were safe. 😉 Note to Ralph, try targeting a little more correct next time. On the other hand, we love the show and especially the titles.
In other silly news, the 24-Hour Michael Bolton Station Declares Bankruptcy, gee who would have thunk it.
