Ripley’s Returns with the Usual Freak Show

ripleys_women.jpg

We’ve always loved Ripley’s Believe it or Not and this campaign for the show, hosted by sloppy seconds Superman Dean Cane, leaves us with a sense of validation. We’re not the only freaks out there. We’re not even the worst-looking. And that’s nice. Work by TBWAHuntLascaris, South Africa.

Is it safe to use the word “freaks” anymore? There’s probably a PC variant that’s escaping us right now, mainly because we don’t want to come up with one out of worry we’ll have to use it. If you can think of one, you deserve some 100 calorie cakes.
