Since there aren't any more Snuggie jokes to be made, Americans have moved on to ironically loving a new ridiculous product: the TV Hat. Can we all agree to stop wasting our money on this crap?

This mess of an anti-drinking ad laughably posits that British—British!—kids will puke all over themselves after "three large vodkas" or "two double shots." Hell. Two double shots of heroin, maybe. Maybe. [Copyranter at AnimalNY]

Besides managing to come up with a new six-pack abs workout every month, Men's Health is now ever so slightly suggesting on this month's cover that you can be just like a Twilight star, if you wear Calvin Klein© jeans.

So, here is how a Thai newspaper promotes itself, with an ad showing—and I'm no expert, but—a teacher sodomizing some kid, it looks like? Tagline: "See Through the Truth." Ummm...sure, whatever you guys want. [Copyranter. Click to enlarge.]

Wild-maned ad whiz Alex Bogusky, famous for weird Burger King ads and being a sickeningly stereotypical "creative," has resigned from his company, and is reportedly retiring from the ad business for good to focus on outside "initiatives." God speed, dude.

Fresh on the heels of its massively successful "Our pizza sucked so bad, but not any more" ad campaign, Domino's is back with a new promotion: "Our ads are super fake, as well." What about the awful desserts, though? [Adfreak]

Whoa whoa, product placement spending—the money that ensures that your TV shows, movies, video games, and every other damn thing feature lots of real quality car and soda brands—actually fell last year. But there's good news, brand fans!

First, the NYC subways rolled out relatively small ads on the outside (and inside) of train cars. In addition to ads on all other MTA property. Now: the first-ever full-train subway ad is here. Get used to it. [NYCtheblog; Pics]

The New York Times: brave enough to write a story about "China's Taste For Nuts," but too timid to laugh about it. Shame.

In your melting Monday media column: perversity finds its way into the Grey Lady, fake NYT trend story may be fake, Katie Couric could return to CBS, and David Carey leaves Conde Nast.

There's long been a vague, dearly held hope among newspaper executives that they would somehow be able to replace their plummeting print ad revenue with rising online ad revenue. Bad news, suckas; there's just too much internet out there.

You've already met Darryl Willis—in a TV ad! He's the nice man telling you that he volunteered to oversee the claims process for BP in the Gulf. And they put him in a commercial for it! Oh...thanks?

Remember when BP was perceived—thanks to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of advertising—as the "green" oil company? (That was only a couple months ago). Now, Shell is seeking to grab that totally made-up title. With advertising!

If Bill O'Reilly was upset about a harmless gay-themed French commercial for McDonalds just wait until he sees this insane spot for Orangina where a humanoid mountain lion shaves and then embraces his gay lover. Um, what?

The Cannes Advertising Festival—the ad industry's "biggest annual autoerotic event"—has given a "Grand Prix" award to Diesel's nonsensical, brain-assaulting, poor-excuse-for-porn "Be Stupid" ad campaign. You people are stupid. [Ad Age]

Are men capable of dealing with a child's poop? Despite strong warnings from wise men that only women have the inborn baby poop-handling gene, Pampers is now trying to pawn off its dirty product on fathers. They're not doing well.

Somewhere deep within our evolutionary mitochondria is a tiny strand of genetic material that makes us slaves to the sultry sounds of a singing fish. Scientists call this the "stupid gene." [Adfreak; Previously]

Sure, there are ads on TV and at school and on subways and in the bathroom and in elevators and on stray cats. But once you reach the store, will you remember those eleventy billion ads? Enter: in-store teevee ads.

Rhett & Link, America's only tolerable creators of advertisements, put a positive spin in repo men: spend your money on TV, above-ground pools, and bacon, instead of car payments, then have your car taken away absolutely free! We're smiling. [Adfreak]

Congratulations, Africa: you are "advertising's last frontier." Keep it that way, if possible.
