Seen an ad parody lately?[pdf alert] What is your favorite ad parody? [There is a great list of sites that feature ad parodies on page 20.]

That document is so screaming for a parody of its own.

(I don't have a favourite myself, but I admire everything I see in Adbusters.)

Dumentia was my favorite for a long time, but is less active now. The archives are a hoot.
