Ad Fail Of The Day: Essilor Invites Hell’s Angel’s To Beat Up Its Customers
THE advert for French glasses firm Essilor invites Hell’s Angels to try to beat the crap out of its customers. The slogan reads: “Hell’s Angels Are Pussies.”
The ad agency behind this then sends out an email:
“Hi there,
After several comments on blogs and in order to avoid any potential troubles with the Hell’s Angels organization in the USA, Essilor USA is asking to withdraw the “Airwear lenses Unbreakable” print from blogs and websites.
Please, it would be more than appreciated if you could do so.
Thanks a lot for your understanding and your help.
Best regards,
Herezie agency”

The Creepiest Adverts With Children Ever: A Gallery Of Evil
ADVERTS featuring children can be as unsettling as kiddie unfriendly album covers. Anorak’s favourite modern ad with children is the “It’s in the sand” advert for the AA. But once upon a time the kids weren’t just sadistic little sods – they were undiluted evil, eyeing up knives (picture 5 is a treat), guns and barbiturates with shiny-eyed glee:

Jedward’s Shake ‘n’ Vac Advert: Pictures, Video And Meow Meow
CAN X Factor Duracell Gonks John and Edward Grimes, aka Jedward, make the 1980’s Shake n’ Vac song a hit – and make Shake ‘n’ Vac the new meow meow?
We spotted the carpet cleaners remaking the 1980’s Shake n’ Vac song at London’s Dean Street Studios in Soho. Shake ‘n’ Vac is mummy’s little helper. Just dust. Stand on your head and inhale (picture 3). Sod the carpets…
Note: While photographing the shakers, a passing bike courier yelled out “They’ve got anthrax”. No cops within earshot meant the boys escaped. This time…
(PS – This is a joke. Shake ‘n’ Vac is legit and contains no drugs.)

Bud Light Lime Is The Taste Of Anal Sex, Advert Claims
IF you like Budweiser, you’re an American who takes it in the can. If you like Budweiser Lite you like anal sex. Hey, Wazzzzzup…you?
The can is another name for a toilet, and anyone who has tasted Bud Light Lime will attest that the link between the beverage and licking a toilet seat dribbled in pet urine is apt.
This new viral online ad from DDB is meant, we imagine, to remind viewers that Bud Light Lime now comes in cans, while jokingly equating the drink with anal sex.
This might not be the best marketing ploy. And the cans pun has been done better.
Anorak recalls a pun of some years hence in which two John Smiths’ knotted hankies are sat on a French Riviera beach eyeing a challenging baguette. John Smiths is available in Cannes, though, so all is well.
In this Budweiser advert, DBB seduces new drinkers by reminding them that Bud Light Lime is the taste of anal sex.
“I never thought I’d enjoy getting it in the can as much as I do,” shares a housewife.
“I gave it to my boss in the can,” says an office drone.
“I’m gonna get it in the can in about five minutes,” says a young woman.
The link between anal sex and Budweiser is a stable. In this advert, onanist ‘Jim Scott’ buys a copy of Tongue In Cheeks Mag, gets a free vibrator and a huge phallus. Better had out hero been forced to buy the magazine to hide his shame at buying such a terrible drink, perhaps wrapping the jazz mags about his bottles to hide his shame?

The Sexiest Nuns In Adverts Ever
COMPLAINTS – all ten of them – levelled against the Gelato Italiano brand ensure that its adverts featuring a rutting nun and a randy priest has been banned, so earning the company loadsa PR.
Who knew that a sexed-up Bride of Christ as a priest would court controversy? Maybe next time the priest could be pictured throating a cone while taking the choirboys through their paces, there will be even more complaints. Fingers crossed.
Antonio Federici said their campaign was intended to portray the “forbidden Italian temptations” of the brand.
