GUNS AND MONEY
Amazing photo-article about the Mexican drug cartel.
“The money and valuables found in this one house alone, would be enough to pay for health insurance for every man woman and child in the U.S.A. for 12 years! There are believed to be approximately 27 more of these houses in Mexico alone not to mention the ones in other countries who are enriching themselves in the drug trade. These people have so much money, they make the Arab oil sheiks look like welfare recipients. Their money can buy the best politicians, the best cops, the best judges, whatever they need they just throw down stacks of cash and it is theirs! This is why the drug problem is so difficult to fight”

2010 KIA SOUL – BLACK SHEEP HAMSTERS
I try to avoid putting advertising on here unless I find it extremely captivating. What I dig about this commercial is that they treated it as if it was a music video and not a method of selling someone something by hitting them over the head with offers or reinforcing the audience of what this product should be. Me likey.

AMERICAN CREW DESTROYING CULTURE WITH ADS
I really dig the ad campaign Karsh + Hagan created for American Crew. The purpose of the campaign is to start a conversation with the audience about what causes hair loss. Its unique media buy helps draw the viewer into the messaging.
HOWEVER, HUGE HOWEVER, painting over one of Conor Harrington’s incredible murals, which has been respected and untouched on the corner of 13th and Washington, in NYC (one company even had the courtesy to paint their ad on a sheet of removable particle board so it wouldn’t harm it) since 2008’s Outsiders show. So by painting over this incredible street art, the appropriate question would be, “Does ruining incredible street art cause hair loss?” At least if that was the question, they would be recognizing this significance of this piece. And honestly, the messaging would get a lot of attention b/c of the vulnerability of street art. Instead, the art community rolls their eyes at advertising and it does nothing but pisses off the hair-bearing youth who will eventually grow into your demographic. Shouldn’t they be doing stencils on golf courses or malls anyway?
