From the job ad for the "Tech Expo Top Secret 2007" job fair for "security-cleared professionals":

Nov. 17th, 2006 02:08 pmFrom the same sausage company who disdained vegetarians, an odd statement about gender and food. And Myspace presented me with a ontological puzzle last night.
Advertising Scans for Friday
Nov. 17th, 2006 12:17 pmA sausage company attacks vegetarianism and commits unintentional goatse, and the makers of a sleep drug appear to be selling a powerful hallucinogen. It's all behind the cut!

Jun. 19th, 2006 02:54 pmAnother visit to the psychiatrist means another load of Drug Ad Scans. Two of these are actually not from a drug ad, but from an osteopathic college's fundraiser magazine. The other two are the standard brochureware. Below we'll learn why misshapen closeted animal trainers are humanitarian, why Bob shouldn't use the nail gun for a while, and the relationship between bipolar disease and endless green rolling hills.

Jun. 1st, 2006 03:19 pmThe "Hispanic" market is different. Radio and TV are a lot more raw, maybe for cultural reasons and certainly because the FCC isn't listening to much. And advertising crosses lines that wouldn't be crossed in whitey ads:
Bacon Swiss Breasts (natural)

I'm glad that at least one fast food chicken sandwich has not given in to the fad and had its breasts augmented.
I think I speak for all of us when I say: cosmetic surgery on bacon swiss crispy chicken must stop.

Apr. 1st, 2006 01:23 pmNo sugar. No actual raspberries. WHAT'S IT MADE FROM? Also; "Standard Coffee Co., New Orleans". I imagine some moss-covered 19th-century factory with an aged voudoun priestess stirring a pot of something... red. Of course it's from 1967, when things were different. Etc. From A Sampler of Things (Mistertoast).

Welcome to Irvine. Here's your trollop.
Feb. 22nd, 2006 12:32 amApparently if you move into this apartment complex you are immediately confronted with the pool scene from Wild Things, or maybe Swimming Pool, or any other cool, chlorine-scented sex romp with an epicene cheekbony beauty you might have in mind. I'll take Grace Kelly in Rimini, please.
Also, "The Village". 'Nuff said.

Girls who are sad should take a pill
Dec. 15th, 2005 11:20 amThe best part of my occasional medication-checkup visits to the psychiatrist's office is the brochures. No, really. The drug companies produce these things, which don't mention any specific drug but urge you to deal with your problem. I've posted some pictures of swag and brochures before. Today's offering is "Balanced", a look at one housewife's indoctrination in to the proper way to handle her problems. It seriously looks like that comic strip "Baby Blues". Also, note older male psychologist authority figure and emphasis on Women Problems.
Eli Lilly & Company were kind enough to put this brochure in my doctor's office. Actually, what they did was fund the University of Michigan who did it. It has things all over it saying how approved by all doctors it is, etc.
As you'll see it consists of wan, blurry folk-art people wondering if they might have depression or if their medical problems might be getting worse due to depression. The message is "you quite likely have depression even if you think you don't". The best part, I think, is the series of scripts for convincing your doctor that you need treatment.
Faux naive iconography and suspect language behind the cut:

One of the better uses of Carmina Burana I've seen, actually. Uses a farked-up Java program to play the video but I got it to work on Safari okay.
