Stumble Leads The Way!

I usually spend a considerable amount of my time stumbling. Not in the sense that I am uncoordinated, (although, that is arguable) rather in the sense of using the StumbleUpon web browser extension.

There is a button in upper left hand corner of my browser that says, "Stumble!" and all I have to do is push and I'm whisked away on a virtual adventure to a part of the internet that I've never seen before.

For a communication class that I am taking, we are required to keep a journal (or blog) of media related findings that catch our attention.

My happy "stumble!" button is the perfect tool for this.

I hit a gold mine my first "stumble." 80 Extreme Advertisements That Will Challenge Your Mind.

This page gives links to 80 advertisements, and yes, I took the time to watch them all, but here are the few that I found most interesting, extreme, awesome, disturbing etc.

The winner for Most Macabre goes to Superette High Fashion! The slogan is, "Be Caught Dead In It." So, if you die wearing Superette clothing, your after life will be less stressful because you looked great when you bit the big one. Oh, and the dog is really cute, thanks.

The winner for Most Skeezy (a Skeeze is a Sleeze in disguise) goes to Ariel: Now With Jasmine! So, the detergent brand Ariel now uses Jasmine, which is fine, but are women who wear sexy panties the only ones who use it? And if so, they need to watch out for the pervies who want to smell them. It reminds me of the guy who got nearly six years for stealing underwear from George Fox Univeristy and Linfield College female students' dorm rooms.

Guys, stay away from the ladies who use Ariel with Jasmine, it could turn you into a pervie underwear stealing fanatic, and nobody appreciates that.

***The last ad has a graphic image of two guys gettin' it on (in the raunchiest sense of the term) and I didn't think everyone would care to see it, but you can click on the link if you would. Pervert.***

The winner for Most Obscurely Sexed goes to Love Life: Stop Aids! Now, I'm sorry if this ad offends anyone. What in the WORLD is happening? (or would that be, "what in the MARS is happening?" eh, semantics) Alright, we'll move past the fact that the two dude are doin' it, but this is certainly a way to grab attention. Is it really necessary? I mean, it's pretty clear what their message is just by their slogan, "Always have condoms with you. You never know when and where you get horny."

Also, in my high school health class we established that Aids was not only a Gay problem. I suppose everyone needs a reminder on how to have sex safely. Thanks?

Alright, that is all for now. Enjoy looking at the ads. Some of them will offend I'm sure, but hey, that's advertising!
