– Jezebel compiled a list of the top 10 female product advertising icons — and the actresses that could replace them. That Mrs. Butterworth’s/Queen Latifah one is hella funny. Now you: go forth and laugh.

– Driverside.com, which sends reminders for auto maintenance and calculates repair estimates in your area, is paying parking tickets off for 100 San Francisco inhabitants. Register at the above link and check back July 25th to see if you’re among the scott-free parking violators.

– Gary Busey’s objectively bananas, and here’s proof. If you’re planning to argue, I’ve got three words for you: stupid, misfortunate placenta.

– Neat water campaigns: submerged-society ones for Australian brand Insight, quiet dreamscape ones for Diesel.

– BooneOakley is behind State Farm’s “Experience Peace of Drive” car wash campaign. (Apparently you also get a free massage.) More from the effort: bathing car, car and yoga, car and cucumber, car and candles, car and acupuncture. (Kinda cool. I had a fat friend whose mom made him visit an acupuncturist to induce weight loss. It didn’t work, but he kept telling her it did because he found the needles soothing.)
