New York graffiti artist Katsu has been bombing NYC with a series of Fake Ads, subverting Nike and MoMa adverts with the likenesses of everyone from Bill Murry, Morrissey and Jay-Z to Steve Jobs, Chief Wiggum and Damien Hirst.

The burlesque legend heats up for, then cools off with, Perrier
Kudos to Perrier for having the marketing balls to execute their latest campaign, titled Perrier Mansion with Dita Von Teese. I mean it doesn’t take Don Draper to realize pairing your product with someone as smoldering as von Teese is a surefire win, but the manner in which Perrier taps into her sensuality to promote […]

Pete Campbell from Mad Men talks about the absurdity of morality, the death of the American Dream, and being part of the Best Show on TV...
You recognize Vincent Kartheiser as Peter Campbell, the utterly obsequious and calculating account executive at Sterling Cooper. You know, that fictional Madison Avenue advertising agency on the much talked about AMC series Mad Men. I didn’t say “much hyped” because hype requires that the product or vehicle receiving the accolades does not deserve them, which […]
