Fast Driving, Not Sweaty Cleavage, Gets Ad Banned

Suzuki_Swift_Sport%20_Hot_Hatch.jpg

Well here's a first. An Australian Suziki Swift Sport ad was banned not because it showed some hot chick's sweaty cleavage but because...wait for it...it promoted "reckless or unsafe driving." Really? How...oddly logical.

The ad in question has a couple racing through a parking garage in the Suzuki. Apparently, the car is so hot, it causes the fire sprinklers to go off and, of course, allow for a gratuitous shot of sweaty boob cleavage.

Guess What Grandpa And Grandma Are Doing Down in Florida?

safe_sex_seniors.jpg

This one was making the rounds last week. With all the safe sex attention paid to teen, it seems we've lost site of the fact seniors still have sex and still get STDs. In fact, in Florida alone the rate of STDs in seniors has risen 71 percent.

To combat thin trend, DDB is out with a humorous PSA for Safer Sex For Seniors that features seniors in various sexual positions, fully clothed, of course. After all, no hard feelings but we really don't want to see seniors naked. They probably don't want to see themselves naked.

Anyway, this little wink at Kama Sutra hopes to inform seniors that even in the twilight of life, fooling around can have ill effects.

PETA Dresses Playboy Bunny Sheridyn Fisher in Lettuce Bikini

peta_goveg_sheridyn_fisher.jpg

Continuing its mission to recruit and exploit every last woman on earth with a hot body, PETA is out with yet another lettuce-fueled GoVeg campaign. This one features Playboy Bunny Sheridyn Fisher sporting a lettuce bikini. The oh-so-witty copy reads, "Be a Binny's Honey. Go Vegitarian."

Yea? If that were true every last man on earth would be eating heads of lettuce in hopes of receiving some intimate love from his hottie of choice.

ad:tech Delivers Bubble-Headed Booth Babe Bingo

fling_iballers_booth_babes.JPG

Good God! If ever there were an argument for why conference booth babes should be seen and not heard, this is it. David Spark from Spark Minute conducted a duel interview with the Fling.com and iBallers booth babes whose booths were facing each other at the ad:tech conference in San Francisco this week.

Spark very politely made the booth babes look like blithering idiots. Of course, to be fair, booth babes are hired to look good, not to know that much about the company they are representing. The video proved both points.

We snapped some shots of the ladies as well which you can see here. Oh and then there was this picture.

Kate Upton's Boobs Now Selling DirecTV

kate_upton_directv.jpg

We didn't think it was possible but we might, in fact, be getting bored with Kate Upton flaunting her 34D's for just about every brand under the sun. The latest display of Upton's cleavage comes courtesy of DirecTV which is out with this very odd commercial that's not really about anything at all...except the flaunting of Kate's hotness. And her boobs. Well, she is on a beach and she is wearing a bikini. And she does have big boobs. It can't be all bad, right?

brunner_works_fb.jpg

- As agencies get their Facebook Timeline in order, we're bound to see interesting iterations such as this one from Brunner Works.

- Gratuitous ass shot of the day. This one ends with a twist.

- Very strange. Clorox now makes bacon flavored cat litter and cleaning products. Hmm.

- Mazda is out with a new commercial for its 2013 CX-5 crossover SUV. Lee Majors would love it!

- Goodby, Silverstein & Partners Rich Silverstein, founder of Hacking Autism, is out with a trailer for his I Want to Say short. The film takes a look at touch screen technology and how it has help kids with autism.

AXE Repels Women. OK, Not Really

axe_anarchy_2.jpg

Here's an interesting twist on the whole notion that AXE actually has something to do with whether or not a woman finds a man attractive. This South African :60 at first pleasantly leads us to believe that in fact, no, Axe does not attract women. It actually repels them. That is until we realize what's actually repelling the hundreds of bikini-clad women running away from the guy showering on this beach. Hilarious, actually.

Bikini Marketing: Waiting Is Hard

bikini_marketing.jpg

Really? This is like the Bikini Ad Network or whatever that company was called that hired two hot women to walk around the ad:tech exhibit hall a couple of years ago. So this morning we get followed by @BikiniMarketing. Being the inquisitive type we checked out the profile which led to a website called, yes, Bikini Marketing. Of course, the site is "coming soon" and carries the subhead, "We know waiting is hard..."

Enough double entendres there for you? Likely this site will never see the light of day much like that other one never did either.

Porn Shoot Hypes Cannes New Directors' Showcase Call For Entries

directors_ahowcase_cannes-1.jpg

This, perhaps, is one of the strangest call for entry promotions you will ever see. Touting the Cannes New Directors' Showcase, this Saatchi & Saatchi London-created video directed by Chris Palmer features an adult film maker who wishes he was making commercials. Watch and see if you can identify all the ad-related references. Funny stuff.

The Real Reason Kelly Brook's Boobs Are So Big? Socks.

kelly-brook-sport-relief.jpg

"You could have a pair like Kelly's" if you just pick up a pair of official Sports Relief Socks at your local (if you're in England) Sainsbury today. Yes. Breasts truly can sell anything we ask them to.

So wait, Kelly's been stuffing all these years?
