Did you know that African-Americans made many contributions to the grocery industry? Such as collard greens, pork hocks, and bologna. All celebrated on this grocery store's Black History month flier. African-Americans love that pork!

Doritos had the public submit proposed Super Bowl ads. Here's a concept that didn't win, for some reason: Pretzels have killed idiot President George W. Bush, eat Doritos instead! Ha. That's "not funny."

You know who hasn't been so happy to see so many corporations shed their fancy private jets in recent months? The companies that manufacture them, not surprisingly. Cessna is now planning to run an ad campaign to counter the perception that flying private is a big waste of cash. Says the head of one industry trade group: "The vast majority of the time, these jets are flying offices, where people can conduct business and have confidential discussions that could never occur on a commercial jetliner." Isn't that what airplane lavatories are for? [WSJ]

Courage; Good Judgment; The confidence to forge ahead. These are just a few of the attributes that businessmen who own private jets possess. Frugal businessmen who've given up their jets, however, are bitch-ass punks.

Let's say you just launched a new product line, or opened a small boutique. You desperately need to advertise your company, but you don't have the cash to buy ads in magazines or plaster billboards across town. What to do? The website Public Ad Campaign created an instructional video that explains how to open up break open a New York City phone booth, remove the silly poster for Verizon or Burger King or whatever, and replace it with a poster of your own. Yes, of course, it's totally illegal—and you'll need a bunch of tools to do it—but as evidenced by the video below, it's not like passerby will pay you any mind while to carry out your guerrilla ad campaign.

The identity of subway ad vandalartist Poster Boy is now the most important issue facing New York. He was arrested last week—or was he? Either way, the guy is now fighting the power:

We won't attempt to "explain" this Denny's commercial, except to say: if that spidery one-eyed banana ever gets within 15 feet of our food, the shotgun is coming out. Click to watch this...thing.

Respect where it's due: an LA adman made an entire YouTube music video for a Valentine's Day song he wrote for an Adweek journalist. Guaranteed press. Extra credit for rhyming with "Eleftheria Parpis."

Poster Boy is mighty famous now. But becoming an artistic remixer of public space is easy! In this little clip, Jordan Seiler of Public Ad Campaign—a Poster Boy pal—shows just how easy.

"American Boy" singer Estelle probably went into music for some soulful reason, but now you have to wonder, if it's all just Crystal Light commercials, why should anyone go into music at all?

Every celebrity believes that if they unleash their genius unto the world in the form of a fashion line or fragrance, their many fans will make it a natural hit. They're so wrong.

Ha, this parody of the NYT's ad for its "weekender" deal is funny because it's true. Who doesn't love the Politics & Socks section? Note to Times: even aged hipsters are mocking you. Not good.

Johnny Rotten's butter ad nearly doubled sales. Selling out works!

In your frostbitten Wednesday media column: Time Warner burns billions, the Daily Beast loses luster, alt-weeklies miraculously manage, and more!

Cold-eyed Hipsterwood blowjob recipient and woman-threatener Vincent Gallo is going to be appearing in some ads for H&M! A perfect fit, in Bizarro World. And, under "Too Good To Check": he calls bloggers GAY:

The fuzz thinks it arrested Poster Boy when it took Henry Matyjewicz into custody. But Poster Boy is bigger than one dude, maaan. Poster Boy is a MOVEMENT.

What is Burning Passion? "A Film About...A Guy Who Ejaculates Fire." It features "spectacular special effects...in addition to some really nice acting." It premieres on Valentine's Day, online. The perfect date. Click to enlarge.

Many thanks to AdWeek's AdFreak blog for directing our attention to this new advertising campaign for Face to Face NYC, a day spa on West 20th Street. This ad here is one of a handful the company is now running in publications like HX, Genre, and Time Out New York. Face to Face describes the campaign as "raunchy, yet classy." (By the same logic, anal bleaching may be "all the rage," or just really popular with muscular "knot experts" named Sandor—you decide.) But you do have to give the spa some credit for not, er, beating around the bush. [AdFreak]

Now that NYC's most famous subway ad remixer Poster Boy got himself arrested, he's more famous than ever! We hear the NYT is even planning a story on him. For us it's about the art.

Were you under the assumption that the recession would finally put an end to those annoying shows narrated by men with English accents who spend an hour listing off the ridiculous items that celebrities have purchased (or, oftentimes, received for free in exchange for the publicity)? Those Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous imitations don't seem to be disappearing, at least judging by Forbes' ad campaign for its upcoming "Most Expensive" special on E! (We're guessing "Most Expensive Crap No One Can Afford Anymore" didn't have much appeal with E!'s advertisers.) But at least the designer responsible for adding that "bling" text effect still has a job!
