Watch Out for the Remote!!

I like this arranged marriage commercial. It's really a commercial for cable, I think, but the wife wants one of these remotes, too!!



I think I like the Hindi Elvis best. Any other votes?

Merry Christmas India style

Two strange things about this clip -- it is a very interesting take on Santa in India, and Nickleodeon is the producer.



A very different way to celebrate the season!!

Live Like a Tsar

The same armored car company that built cars for Tsar Nicholas, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky are now offering the Dartz Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition armored car with whale penis leather seats. This SUV also comes with gold plated bulletproof windows, a tungsten exhaust, diamond and ruby encrusted gauges, a external Kevlar coating and three bottles of the most expensive vodka made (RussoBaltique). The asking price for this dorky SUV comes in at a whopping 1.6 million dollars. It's set to be showcased at next years Top Marques show in Monaco.

Weird Canadian Commercials

In an effort to prove to Nethie that not all Canadian commercials are horrifically realistic scenes of brutal workplace accidents, I am pleased to present some of the weirdest commercials to grace our northern TV screens.

These are all part of the same campaign of ads for Mac's Milk's Frosters drinks. Basically, it's convenience store advertising some new flavours (not flavors) of slush drinks that they had just come out with. At least, I think that's what they were advertising. The whole WTF line of ad more or less just gave us insight into how deanged ad-men really are.



Yeah, I think Hate Crime is a good place to start. It really says nothing about the product in question, but speaks volumes about the sanity (or lack thereof) of those invoved in creating the commercial. More >>

Number 96

Who knew that the first gay character on mainstream TV was featured way back in 1972 in the Australian soap opera NUMBER 96...? Not I, till recently.

Apparently the show was pretty hot stuff!

World’s Sexiest Weather Reporter

It's not a title I ever imagined existing, but apparently Mexican beauty Mayte Carranco has it locked down.
