This video requires a little explanation for overseas readers. GAP ran a commercial titled “Talk To The Moose” in the US during the 2009 holiday season that was notable for featuring several young girls dancing and singing what became an Earworm for some people thanks to a fair amount of air time.

Talk To The Moose Parody
It’s Like False Advertising For Your Butt
I rarely get into advertising or underwear on this blog but I had to share this one. It’s like a Miracle Bra… but for your butt.
I wonder if this booty pop trend will stick, or die quickly. I also wonder if it makes that popping sound when you put it on.
SpongeBob Got Back
Yes, this is the third Baby Got Back post on this blog. Why? Because I find these parodies of the most bizarre song ever made to be quite amusing. Enjoy. This one is a part of a Burger King promotion (featuring The Burger King himself) and SpongeBob. This is a [...]
Google Chrome Promoted On Homepage
Google is now promoting Google Chrome on it’s homepage. Just a few days after release. Previously Firefox 2.0 was promoted on the homepage, a privilege normally reserved for Google products. The text link is a bit more subtle though. Maybe that’s because it’s beta and not 2.0.
It’s being shown to Firefox [...]
Seinfeld “Windows, Not Walls” Microsoft Deal
The big news today is that Jerry Seinfeld, whose show I’ve seen once or twice obsessively for over a decade signed a deal with Microsoft to do a “Windows, Not Walls” campaign according to WSJ.
Amusingly, Seinfeld for it’s entire run had a Mac in his TV apartment. Early on it looked like an SE/30 [...]
Matt Mullenweg On Ads

Also [...]
Browser Wars On Google
If you search for Firefox using Google you’ll see this ad towards the top:
Look over to the right side and you’ll see this:
Here’s a larger complete screenshot for anyone interested.
Interesting eh? They aren’t threatened though. Here’s another tidbit. A search for “Safari” brings up a Microsoft ad as well. A search [...]
Windows Ad On A Mac
I see these every once in a while. Advertisers occasionally think it’s clever to make their ad mimic the OS interface in hopes that novice users get confused and click on it. I’m sure this is (sadly) pretty successful despite being rather deceptive. It becomes comical when these ads show up on [...]
DoubleGoogleClick?
So Google acquires DoubleClick for 3.1 billion dollars. There doesn’t seem to be any word on how this will integrate (or be kept separate) from AdWords/Adsense. I’m interested to know what their plans are.
Between Google Search, Google Analytics (on many websites), AdSense, and now DoubleClick, virtually all websites on the web have some [...]
