Look at these fucking ads! (NSFW)

Aidsvertising, a fake-ad agency which is considered by some to be misogynistic, racist and offensive, would like you to, among other things, look at these goddamn batteries.

I just don't understand how being patently offensive is amusing or interesting. Now, sophomoric and boorish, that I can get behind.

Praise Jebus! What would outrage-fed media outlets do without the phrase "considered by some"?

Was this made by two fourteen year-old boys? 'Cause it reads like it was.

1972: George Carlin releases his famous "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" routine on his album Class Clown.

1973: Pacifica radio station broadcasts version of this routine, leading to series of lawsuits between it and the FCC.

1978: Supreme Court ultimately rules in favor of the FCC, giving it power over "indecent" material as applied to broadcasting.

2008: Thirty years later, in an entirely different medium, someone with little historical perspective and even less wit thinks its funny and shocking to sprinkle dirty words into ads.

Meh. Too much profanity to be subtle but it's not over-the-top funny either.

It's no "Holy Shit, Man Walks On Fucking Moon".

1. Swipe photoshop gags other people did.
2. Stick your own URL on them.
3. Start making up your own once you run out.
4. ??? (Hah, who'm I kidding? Fill every remaining pixel with advertising!)
5. Profit!

I only looked at the poncho one because I'm at work, but it seems identical to the Onion man-on-the-moon article to me. And equally hilarious. Which was very.

A lot of these (generally speaking) are hilarious, but some of them kind of suck. The ones on this site in particular aren't as good as the ones I saw a long time ago. You have to toe a fine line with the profanity, and if there's just too much of it the effect is lost. These kind of fell off that line.
