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.
Did They Think They Won’t Get Caught?

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."

Vintage Ad
I only included this ad because
Dale and I opened for Bobby Vinton at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, WI,
many years ago. Very nice guy.

The Riverside Theater, Milwaukee, WI
When we exited via the backstage door there were about 100
white-haired women waiting to see the Polish Prince. When they saw Dale they
said, “Oh, that’s the guy with Chip.” True story. (They always remember the
Mannequin American’s name … but not the vent’s.)

beer.”

Who is
This Ad Aimed At?

This
is a guess, but I think most lipstick is purchased by women. So I'm not sure who this Yves
Saint Laurent ad is aimed at. All I know is that I feel like going out and buying some lipstick.
Miscellaneous

These neighbors must hate one another.
