Bids Hit Half Million For 'Nothing' on eBay

ebay_nothing_for_sale.jpg

Quite possiblely (or not) a holdover from April Fool's day, a man has place nothing (literally) for sale on eBay and the current bid for scooping up that nothing is $500,600. At this time, there are 51 bids so far for this spectacular collection of nothing.

This is not the first time nothing has been placed for sale on eBay. There are plenty of examples. Of course, most these bids are pulled and it is likely this one will as well.

Like Boobs in a Supportive Sports Bra, These Earbuds Won't Fall Out

zip_ears_workout.jpg

OK. So you're sitting on a bench in the park. just enjoying your paper. Wait, what? Nobody reads the paper anymore. But we didn't create this video and that's not what we're interested in. Anyway. So you're reading your paper and some hot chick in workout clothing decides to give you the look and then do a few stretches right in front of you.

At that point, you're thankful to the Gods of Chance and figure your day has been made. But the fun isn't over yet. The hottie decides to switch the song that's she's listening to to one that's akin to a song you might hear in a night club - full of bass and deep enough to make things shake. And that's when you get the full on boobalicious pay off.

Give it a watch

Chest Vibrator Increases Breast Size

bosom_max.png

As far as we can tell, this is not an April Fool's joke. And why would it be? This craziness is nothing new and has been around forever. Besides, we found out about it yesterday. WHatare we talking about? Bosom Max. Yes, Bosom Max. What is Bosom Max? It's some stupid vibrating device a woman can strap to her chest that is supposed to make her boobs bigger.

Sound like a great gift to give to someone as a joke today. We'll have to do a follow up story in a week or so to see if Bosom Max saw an uptick in sales. Check out the ad on the website.

Jack & Jones Fitness Gives 'Oral' Mouth to Mouth

jack_jones_fitness.jpg

Copyranter has unearthed a gem from Jack & Jones Fitness. The brand lives within the world of irony and has a very unique way of hyping its fitness club. In one video, the tables are turned and a guy is seen as a sex object complete with all the stereotypical complaints you here from women about sex.

In a second video, men are seen as a new line of Spring fashion. Or is it that the women are so hot they make the men pass out thereby needing resuscitation? Or is it that the men are so out of shape they can't have sex without a trip to Jack & Jones Fitness?

Either way, it's humorous to see a woman give mouth to mouth to a guy's dick. And come to the realization Jack & Jones is actually a fashion brand.

Quiznos is Trippin' With Chicken Bacon Dipper Campaign

quiznos_chicken_bacon_dipper.jpg

Living up to the product tagline, "If this were an ordinary sub, you'd eat it in an ordinary way'" Quiznos is out with a seriously whacked commercial in which people go about eating the chain's new Chicken Bacon Dipper sandwich in very, very strange ways.

Topping the scales of weird is the dude in this commercial called The Hair Raiser. Seriously. Someone's on drugs here. A lot of drugs.

Skittles Gives Girl Facial

skittles_cutie.jpg

All we can say about this Skittles video featuring a cute girl with Skittles all over her face is it's a good thing those Skittles are Skittles and not zits. Because zits would be gross. And zits would be a reason to point at this girl and make fun of the way she looks.

Wait. What message is this commercial sending? We're confused. Are we supposed to think a girl is hot because she's covered with Skittles? Or ugly? Or we should only love her for her beauty...or Skittles-covered face? Or are we supposed to...eat her face?

Please help. Thanks for confusing us, BBDO Toronto.

Grabbed Nuts and Anal Insertion Sell Power Equipment

echo_power_equipment.jpg

With some of the strangest ads for power equipment we've seen in a long time, you'll never look at airport security or a visit to the doctor the same again. Created by Cramer-Krasselt, these ads, out since January, for ECHO power equipment take a decidedly different approach to letting us know just ho important it is to buy professional grade equipment.

People Who Wear Wranglers Have Serious Issues

wrangler_fire.jpg

We already know that Wrangler wearers are a bunch of crazed, animalistic lunatics who like to hunt their fellow humans. Now, we're being informed they're also a bunch of deranged pyromaniacs who enjoy lighting themselves on fire and jumping out of windows.

Does the brand seriously think "normal people" are going to identify with this crazed approach to positioning the brand? We think not.
