Ten Ads America Won’t See

Ten Ads America Won’t See, from AdAge.com. Some are just JPEGs, like the cover of a Filipino skin magazine that admits it doesn’t know why it bothers putting any text in. Others are videos, like the amusing beer ad about a man explaining sex to a four-year-old using a sausage, or a woman who’s been reincarnated as a cockroach, or the world’s worst Nativity play.

The videos are ASF files; my old copy of VLC media player didn’t play the sound, but the latest version works pretty well.

I' e seen #9 on the web. It's a delightful piece of Rube Goldberg-style (like the game Mouse Trap) engineering. Everything that moves in the commercial is a piece of a single car, except for the whole car and banner that move at the end.

Yeah, I figured everybody’s seen that, so I didn‘t mention it.

I love that, I've watched it several times. It's based on an art piece done in the 80s called "The Way Things Go." Viz.:
