The fact that there is a need for such a sign, says a lot about our intelligence.

Signs That Caught My Glass Eyes

I wouldn’t advise hiring this company for security.

Miscellaneous

This is wrong on so many levels … I shouldn’t be laughing this hard.

Food Porn

Kondomeriet, Norways No. 1 adult store, celebrates 30 years of bringing lust and naughtiness to Norwegians. The only problem is that in Norway, media laws often prohibits companies like Kondomeriet from showcasing their products in advertising.

So, in order to get the message out and the commercial on air, the company decided to use food metaphores, and let the audience make the connections in their own naughty minds.

Note: This was a very popular (and very funny) blog post from the past. In case you haven't figured it out, I've been on vacation for the past 3 weeks and you've been reading vintage Chip Martin blogs from the past. I'll be back next Wednesday with an all new blog.

In case you haven’t seen this yet, here is a link to “The Gunfighter.” I almost guarantee that it will make you lol. It has over 2 million hits on YouTube. NSFW because of language.

Chip Shot: My girlfriend and I were watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire and I turned to her and said, “Do you want to have sex?” She answered, “No.” I then said, “Is that your final answer?” She said “Yes.” So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend” That’s when the fight started.

Vodka from a Village with a Sense of Humor

Koskenkorva doesn't have a bustling city with hip hop stars or big buildings or fancy cars. Nope, it's just a small village of Finns who make Koskenkorva Vodka in the town the booze is named after. And that’s why this ad is funny.

Mately is a company that makes at-home HIV/STD testing kits, and they decided to get a little creative so they used the roommates and best friend puppets Bert & Ernie in a social media ad joking about the ease of use of their testing kits. Only one problem, the Mately company forgot to ask Sesame Street for permission to use Bert & Ernie's likenesses.

Mately wised up quickly, they have removed all of the Bert and Ernie images from their site and social media controlled by them, and they have made a statement that there was no intent to "tarnish the Sesame Street brand."
