The stupid Skittles spoof ad sequel you don't need to see #FdAdFridays

Wait.. didn't he pull out?

Last year's hideously pornographic Skittles Ad Spoof was outrageous enough to get Cousins noticed as a production team. But was this boring sequel really needed?

The clown makeup turns the creepiness up to 11 #FdAdFriday

Three observations:

1) I'm pretty sure that even pedophiles are aware that sex with children is a crime.
2) Was the clown makeup tie-in to Carnival necessary?
3) The body copy's broken English is really awkward.

College Recruitment — it's a snap! #FdAdFriday

This is a real ad from a real technical college in Australia, The Central Institute of Technology. But what starts out as a fairly cheesy recruitment ad goes off the rails pretty quickly into horror, gore, and angst.

In other words, perfect for the target market.

The Return of Purity Bear #FdAdFriday

How can you make a terrible pro-abstinence ad even worse? Add some racialized stereotyping into the mix!



The latest amateur video from Day of Purity manages to be even more awkward than the first one, stopping the horny and lovestruck teens from having sex using a sassy African American vernacular.

Model teaches jocks proper fingering technique #FdAdFriday

Supermodel Kate Upton is a pro at home video games. Who knew?

So here she is coaching Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers, David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays, Jay Bruce of the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson how to handle their bats and balls in Major League Baseball 2K12.



Ummm... head

How young is too young to model?

In these days of Toddlers & Tiaras, it's easy to think that our media-saturated, image-obsessed culture has lost the sense to let prepubescent children get a pass on commercial sexual exploitation.

Well, one person has stood up to sexualized fashion images of young girls like Kaia Gerber above, who is only ten, appearing in a Young Versace campaign earlier this year.

Her mother has had enough. While she originally told fashion press she was "so thrilled" that Kaia was chosen for such a prestigious assignment, she has since had second thoughts. She has gone so far as to forbid the girl to model until she is at least 17. “At this point, she's too young to pursue a career," the mom explains. "There aren't even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl. But if she's 17 and wants to try it, of course, what can I say?"

Great decision, Cindy Crawford! You see? Some models are actually quite smart and grounded.

Censor this, Facebook (nudity)

Facebooker Tanja Tännenbaum and FEMEN are daring Facebook admins to censor this photo of male and female breasts.

The top-free Ukrainian feminist group has been dutifully censoring their FB pictures for quite a few months, following run-ins with the social network's notoriously knee-jerk "decency" policies.

On this issue, FEMEN are in the same boat as breastfeeding activists and artists who have also drawn the ire of anonymous users acting as morality police, even on private pictures.

Let's see how this one goes.
