– Jesus fucking Christ! Could this spot….and this one be any more blunt in delivering its “prevent accidents” message? Via.

– Dell’s got some weird shit going on with its IT Room viral wannabe project.

Link your header logo. It’s the easiest solution. Oh, there’s a link at the bottom of the page. Not so obvious.

– Diesel.com gets yet another makeover. And a longer load time.

– Yet another Wonderbra commercial…uh…pushes the confines of its surrounding.

– Labeling it YouTube T&A Lite and Girls Gone, Make the Logo Bigger reminds us how easy it is to attract the attention of college males.
