Clearway: Your Direct Connection to The Wolf.

Remember The Wolf, the cool operative summoned in Pulp Fiction to clean up the remains of a guy who had his brains blown out in a moving car?

UK-based cleanup firm Clearway riffs off that unseemly scenario with the ad at left — “No job too big, no job too awful” — depicting bloody furniture and a distinctly man-shaped stain. Among other things.

The ad was banned for obvious (read: “excessively graphic, offensive and distressing”) reasons. Obtusely defensive, Clearway insists the piece is “an accurate portrayal of the work they undertook on a daily basis.”

Which I guess is one way of saying Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino — or their gun-and-butcher’s-knife-swinging muses — get open tab when they’re in town.
