Mmm, That Pizza Was Good...OMG! WTF is That???

We've seen all kinds of pizza box advertising. Some are better than others. Others are just shocking such as this ad for an extermination company which was placed inside a Mamma Mia pizza box. Since the ad is placed under the pizza, it isn't seen until the pizza has been finished. We're thinking a few people might fill that pizza box right back up with puke after seeing this ad. See all the images here.

Pinky Vodka Competes With Forlorn Cupid

Yes, today is Valentine's Day. It's suppose to be a happy day. A day filled with love. But poor Cupid is having a tough time of it with all women seemingly falling in love with Pinky Vodka. It's making Cupid's job a tough one. So tough he's enlisted the help of his entire family to fight the attraction Pinky Vodkas seems to have over women. We wish him luck. Vodka's great. But we'd have to say love and sex are better.

Truth Campaign Explores Broadway Musical-Style Entertainment

There was this TV show a while ago from Steven Bocho, who gave us NYPD Blue, called Cop Rock. In the show, which was a serious police drama, the character would suddenly break out in song Broadway style. The show didn't last long. On last night's Boston Legal, guest star Scott Bakula serenades Candice Bergin. While Bakula might be a great actor, we quickly fast forwarded until the cheesiness was over. Musical scenarios like this happen all the time. Unfortunately, they mostly never work.

Mobile Phone Pictures Provide Discounts at Hong Kong Pizza Hut

So Dominos Pizza has its cool new build your own pizza thingy. In Hong Kong, Pizza Hut didn't want to left out of the party so they hooked up with MyClick Media for a mobile promotion which enables people to use their cell phones to snap shots of images on Pizza Hut promotional material to get discounts and prizes. Of course, people have to have the MyClick software on their phones. In Asia, that's just another normal day using one's cell phone to manage every element of one's life.

Seattle Times Takes Issue with Baring Vagina

This month the National Council of Jewish Women, Seattle is co-sponsoring performances for The Vagina Monologues at the Museum of History and Industry.

To promote the show, it put together an ad with a vag-like heart (complete with clit!) and presented it to a passel of publications.

And while papers like JT News and some synagogues had no problem posting the ad hither and yon, the Seattle Times decided to say no. (Some advice: never do that.)

Enter fist-shaking from femme-groups and synagogues alike. Our favourite quote from the article:

[Executive director of the local NCJW chapter] Lauren Simonds says the Times' refusal to run the ad "really goes against what the Vagina Monologues is all about. It just makes [the vagina] more taboo."

Here's an idea: Want to divorce the vagina from a taboo the penis just doesn't share? Bring the fight to the big leagues. Take the doors off bathroom stalls!

GM Rethinks Depressed Robots. Hey, How About Robo-Nannies?

Remember that suicidal GM robot? Imagine it's refreshed, rehabilitated and ready to contribute to society again.

Would you let it touch the kids?

Computers Go Back in Time to Celebrate Broadband Invasion of TV Turf. Wait, What?

Word has it that broadband content is now eligible for Primetime Emmy Awards. Whether that flatters broadband shows or the sleepy Emmys is anybody's guess; it's all the same in the media melting pot.

To spread the news, WONGDOODY prepared a print campaign with Mary Tyler Moore and that bigoted dad from All in the Family. Computers have been stitched into their environments. Headers read, "Welcoming Broadband to the World of Television."

Creative will appear in print and online. There will also be an "aggressive online word-of-mouth effort."

Oh, yeah: Because that big, bad PR really twisted our arms.

It's a Chest-Based Video Showdown! Cast Your Vote for Vest or Tee

In livid response to our post on the wearable video vest, Brand Marketers opened our eyes to T-Shirt TV, which came out before the video vest and looks way better (said them, not us).

What do you think? To democratize the options, both models are worn mainly by girls with no pants. (See vest, see tee.)

Like you'd watch TV on somebody's torso otherwise. It is to scoff.

Bragster Breathes Life Back into Triple-Dog Dare

Hey, look. More lavish venture funding for exhibitionist games of jackass.

Bragster, a one-year old social networking site, sets people on daring sprees. Dare someone to do something, they accept and upload proof, and everyone has a giggle.

Dares are either accepted or spurned, and limits are set to meet the grade.

Especially wretched dares included "I will pour 2 mugs of boiling hot coffee on my laptop" (which is what you see at left) and "I dare rileyyy to slap someone around the face with a fish in a supermarket."

This just won $3.5 million in its Series A. Guess who led the round? Intel.

What the fuck.

Old Spice Hair and Bodywash: For Hair and/or Body, or Both

In a moment of generosity, Make the Logo Bigger spilled some saucy new Old Spice beans on us (via Copyranter). If you have hair here, here and here but not there, you owe it to yourself to watch it.

It's neat that Old Spice tore open its billowing shirt and let out the musk. But now that everybody's laughing, how about improving on that old, spicy formula? We can't all be Bruce Campbell.

Consider:

o Old Spice in Cool Evergreen
o Old Spice a la mode (no one can resist the manly thrall of vanilla)
o Old Spice's alter ego: Youthful Mellow
