Calling out Mercedes Benz

Mercedes Benz has been running an ad that positively infuriates me. It's a bunch of pretentious bastards (i.e. Mercedes' target audience) talking about how they were almost in an accident, but their car did the work for them and saved their sorry ass.

Here's the thing - A MERCEDES IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR KNOWING HOW TO DRIVE "YOU STUPID GOD-DAMN DUMB SHIT MOTHERFUCKER" Bad Habit by The Offspring

Sure, maybe I'm over-reacting a tad and just looking for an excuse to spew venom at the self-important upper class for their lame attempt to relate to the layman's concern of "how safe is my car" with some ridiculous spot that comes across as "Hey, it's okay if you're a shitty driver. As long as you can afford a Mercedes."

Anyway, when anger and creativity meet you get something like this re-cut spot that I put together.

Can you handle the Sheen?

Charlie Sheen says that he's no on drugs, the only thing he's on is Charlie Sheen (a combination of high priced hookers and blow in delicate proportion). Anyway, if you'd like to be on the same sort of trip, now you can as Charlie is selling his magic stuff.

Super Bowl Ads - 2011, quick reaction

So the NFL wins with ratings and the best commercial, VW uses the Star Wars license better than George Lucas, Verizon bitch slaps AT&T so hard they can't talk, Eminem gets serious about iced tea(?!?) and helps Chrysler make the emotional climax portion of a movie about an underdog rising up, the e-trade baby is still funny, Coke tries (and fails) to connect with the young kids (again), Chevy introduces drive-by Facebook stalking, the Black Eyed Peas can't get by with a little help from their friends (and should have to pay everyone in the world for ruining "Sweet Child o' Mine"), Christina Aquilera obviously hates America and a lot of money was spent on things no one will remember. But hey, Captain America and Thor look good.
