Reality Bites

Culture Whores — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 18:56:35 +0000

I don’t often watch reality shows because I know they’re manipulated to enhance the drama and rarely do I see true talent. But this 2010 season trailer for Finland´s Next Top Model looks fun and puts tired old Tyra’s tyrannical mess of a show to shame.

Those Naughty French

Culture Whores — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:42:49 +0000

Aides Graffiti directed Yoann Lemoine for TBWA Paris.

Smart and super creative ad for a French aids prevention campaign. Of course nothing this smart would ever show on American television for reasons that run deeper than just puritan prudishness.

Some of you might remember the funny French “Boy Toy” Hyundai commercial from several years back that played with marital infidelity. Well, a new Sony PSP commercial has emerged that is playing with a little mens restroom innuendo that immediately makes me think of old Larry Craig and had me cracking up. Yes, I know Craig was playing stall footsie with his pants around his ankles but surely he did a few peek-overs as well.
