Junk Email of the Day: And if you want a uni­corn, CLICK HERE

I like junk emails that fol­low proper gram­mar and spelling rules. Are you fed up with size of your man­hood? Do you feel in­ad­e­quate around women and in­deed other guys? In every man’s mind there is a want to en­large his pe­nis. Many search out ways to do this and some­times it works and some­times not. Men equate a larger […]

Reasons Why I May Be Single: Early 20th Century Edition

I love vin­tage ads. They cer­tainly didn’t beat around the bush back then. They told you, in very frank and ex­plicit terms, why you needed to buy this prod­uct — you were too fat, you were too ugly, you were sin­gle!

If you can’t say any­thing nice…then just shut up

Earlier this week, my friend Catherine posted a Tweet about her mother’s new web­site.

Over 600 peo­ple con­verged at the Rogers Communications Centre at Ryerson to lis­ten to their peers talk about new me­dia, so­cial net­work­ing sites, blog­ging and pod­cast­ing (natch). The two-day “un­con­fer­ence” was free, thanks to its many spon­sors, and of­fered a venue to for so­cial media […]

Ugh, I just got my [in­sert eu­phemism here].

Stumbled upon this lit­tle item on the Brand Week web­site: Procter & Gamble’s Tampax brand an­nounced the launch of MonthlyGiftClub on teen and tween Web com­mu­nity Stardoll to pro­mote prod­ucts for that time of the month. Taking its cues from a tra­di­tion in TV ads — in which women are shown wear­ing white cloth­ing as a vi­sual cue that a brand’s sanitary […]
