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.

Wonder Bread Now Made With More Than Just Air

The most fun we ever had with Wonder bread wasn't eating it. Nope. Not at all. Especially since every bite would stick to the top of the mouth and adhere itself there like glue until a bit of invasive finger surgery was performed. Rather, because it's made mostly out of air, we'd take sadistic joy in compressing an entire loaf into a shape the size of a tennis ball and hurling it across the table at our sister. It made for great breakfast time entertainment but it seems things have changed over the years.

Be Warned People! iPods Can Kill!

Oh we've seen them. You have too. Those people so engrossed with their iPods, they look like they're conjuring their inner Michael Bolton. Those people so intently involved in their Bluetooth earpiece-enabled cell phone conversation they look like mumbling mental patients oblivious to the fact they look like idiots.

Apparently, according to a recent DraftFCB-created campaign for Ontario's Workplace Safety & Insurance Board, the above mentioned scenarios can lead to a bloody death. Death by iPod. Death by ignorance of signage. Death by ignorance of safety manuals. Hmm. Somehow, we're glad the most dangerous thing threatening our existence is the copy of George Parker's book, Madscam, perched on a shelf above our desk.

Expect for maybe the monsters in this BBDO Moscow-created Snickers commercial from Russia which has a team of them playing American football with airplane engines.
