Ads That Go For Cool - And Miss So So So So So Badly

July 30th 2007 14:30
Cool is a state of mind. It's effortless, instant, unrefined. We like cool things and we like to buy them. This is why companies put so much effort into trying to manufacture coolness. But when you put effort into manufacturing the effortless, it becomes really dodge.

She moves With The Times


Oh. She moves with the times hey? Meaning what? She buys all the latest clothes. Oh she's so empowered. I'm shocked with this archtypal wonder woman who's so up to the minute she's buying your clothes. Blah.

Stack Your Bangles


Ladies. Don't. Don't stack your damn bangles. Your arms will get sore. And in case you were worried that you'll be missing out on this great new 'Bangill-Stackin' trend; don't worry. There is no trend. They just think this will make you buy more bangles.

Donuts


I don't have a problem with the company, or with donuts. I love donuts. But who had the bright idea of using a healthy girl running around outside to promote eating unhealthy good inside?

Tape


"Hay Guyz mebbe if we leik, tap into Gen Y's Nostalgic affinity 4 Mix Tapes we can give ourselves sum cool credibility LOLZLOLZLOLZ"

Rent will have to wait


Oh you tosser. You're not paying the rent to buy Sunglasses? Why is that cool? Why are you cool? Damn it! I know guys like you... you have sex with my drunk female friends and wear five hundred dollar shirts and are scared of Muslims and Aboriginals. You're a materialistic boring void of pathetic self indulgence. Go stick your head in a bucket of water. Go get some life experience. Go work in Bangladeshi shipping yards and get some perspective on reality. Fuck you!

Ahh... always better after a bit of Rah, hey?

Cool is so lame when ad companies try to tap into it.

In fact, when a magazine starts getting ads like this, you know they've crossed that line, and they're no longer hip.

HAHAHAHA!!! tee hee!!!!
I laughed!!

What fabulous venting of spleen old top!!!

MORE OF IT PLEASE!!!

And soooo deserved!!

I know just the kind of utter prat you are talking about.

The same type that whinges and whines about anyone who does not fall at their feet in astonished worship, whenever they open their fatuous mouths, no matter how inane their egocentric, bigoted, insular, vacuous opinions are.....

...why do I think of Paris Hilton when I write the words insular, fatuous and vacuous...????

anyhoo....loved the rant babe!!

RANT ON!!!!

cheers and beers
