It’s really happening! Six years in the making Pacquiao and Mayweather are finally fighting. Pacquiao might be too old to win, but he can still cash in on that sweet, sweet guaranteed fight payout of $60 million.

First of all, I had no idea the Black Eyed Peas are still a group and that’s news in itself. Now, combining their new song with the NBA Playoffs and Pitch Perfect 2 is a whole ‘nother dimension of awful advertising. I don’t have numbers and graphs but isn’t that the worst conceivable combination of groups […]

This is the first of many posts focused on the music of an ad. Some ads have songs that get stuck in my head because they’re so catchy. It helps that many ads use mostly chorus and cut up the song to fit the ad’s timing best. This HBO NOW commercial showcases everything you can get […]

Burger King has returned the famous Chicken Fries. Each year these rebranded chicken tenders are released on a limited basis to create buying interest. This year the ads have been wacky. Burger King has focused on talking chickens finding love with fries and have insinuated Chicken Fries are the love-child. The ad above features a selective male […]
