Copyranter notes: “It’s actually been there for quite some time. I know, because my girlfriend’s mother lives in Tucson. It’s of course via the radio station, not Limbaugh. Though, I’m sure he—or his “people”—had to approve it before it was erected.” (Via – Towleroad)

Copyranter notes that Lady Gaga’s biography is being promoted in Australia’s meat cases. OK, then.

Movember is the global cancer awareness campaign in which participants grow mustaches to draw attention to men’s cancers. Copyranter tips us to the above image being used in Singapore’s prostate cancer campaign. Hit the link for more images of the famously mustachioed and what they’d look like clean-shaven.

Copyranter calls this ad for Durex lube “the least erotic anal sex ad ever.”

Copyranter goes off: “Learn to anticipate.” Courrier International, a Paris-based weekly (tagline: Anticipate Daily), solves 9/11 after the fact: the World Trade Center architects should have stopped at about 50 floors. Look! The hijacked planes missed the shorter targets. Yay! Viva la Photoshop! Viva la Idiocy! Remember the Maginot Line! Ad by Saatchi & Saatchi France. Extra points for the …

Copyranter notes: “First of all, congratulations Egyptians on finally getting the convenience of soda bottles with twist-off caps. And secondly, homo-erotic humor on TV in morally repressed Egypt! Brave of the ad agency, Cairo’s Fortune Promoseven, since the country has a de facto ban on homosexuality.”

Above is one of the images from an ad campaign for the Academy Of Martial Arts in Key Biscayne, Florida. Via Copyranter: Yeah, Pops. Nip that gaiety in the ass, and get junior kicking some ass and karate-chopping some wood, all while listening to Eye of the motherfucking Tiger. That’ll knock those show tunes out of his head and some …

Copyranter reacts: “Wow, pretty racy copy from a conservative government agency. But why not? Shitfaced is shitfaced. Sales tax is sales tax. Gay Pride Week in Toronto—like everywhere—begins June 25th. So the LCBO, via ad agency GLP, placed this ad in Toronto’s annual pride guide. The guppies reference, and the closing spritzer line are pretty stupid. But otherwise, especially when …

Copyranter dissects this ad from Dylan Fabric Dye: Twink gives Sugar Daddy puffy shirt with doily collar for Valentine’s Day. Sugar Daddy dyes shirt pink and re-gifts it to Twink for their anniversary. Look at Twink’s face, look at his hair. Look at the way Sugar Daddy is holding his champagne glass. Jam the stereotyping into that layout. You’ll have …

Copyranter reports that a South African ad agency is using Ricky Martin’s coming out to plug their line of tear-proof mascara. Our tactical ad was an immediate response to the high level of local and international coverage given to this piece of showbiz news last week. We wanted to offer young female fans a quirky, tongue in cheek solution to …

Towleroad points us to this syphilis alert from the AIDS Committee of Toronto and notes that advertising critic Copyranter is unimpressed. It’s the ‘ol vintage sci-fi/horror movie poster parody—a popular ad execution idea for social causes recently. And why not? Cause advertising is depressing as hell to work on these days, right? Because humans are a lost fucking cause! So, …

Copyranter emailed to tip us to this image he found on a gay German travel site. From his guest post on Coilhouse: Mount Assmore! This is truly one of the funniest ads (click here for closer look) I’ve seen in my 20 years in this fucked-up business. It’s for German website queer-travel.de, who for over 12 years, have made “gay …
