When sending in something like this, the submitter might as well scream, "PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE PUBLISH THIS. WE REALLY NEED IT TO GO VIRAL. PLEASE?"

OK, fine.

But if you want some really amazing bartender action, check this out.

Lazy Fridays + Well-Written PR = Cut And Paste News

gmc_playoff_challenge.jpg

Why try to re-write something when you don't have to. We're lazy like that here at Adrants. OK, we're rarely this lazy but it's Friday, it's snowing, and we have a six hour drive ahead of us so we're going for simplicity today:

"Starting today at noon and running through Feb. 8, football fans will be given the opportunity to visit ESPN.com's GMC Sierra Engineered to Win Playoff Challenge to test their familiarity with the Playoffs and take part in a challenge hosted by Tom Jackson. As part of the program, fans will also be able to take a 10 question, timed quiz each week testing their NFL Playoff and Superbowl knowledge, with chances to win a number of different prizes including a 2010 GMC Sierra. The mobile version of the program also launches today.

Digitas was responsible for all of the strategy, planning, and creative development of the program."

Got it? Good.

Doritos Perpetuates Male (And America's) Idiocy

doritos_super_bowl_smackdown.jpg


Here's
one of the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl XLIV commercials. Called The Smackout, it's predictably idiotic. You know the concept. Girlfriends sit by while boyfriends perform stupid stunts as if they were five year old retards bullies on the playground during recess. No wait, five year olds aren't stupid, they're just young and inexperienced. When 30 year old guys do this sort of thing, it becomes clear why America trails the rest of the world in IQ.

This commercial's only redeeming quality? Cleavage.

If You Want to Commit Suicide, Audi Can't Help You

audi_exhaust_suicide.jpg

This is, by far, the most twisted method used we've ever seen to sell a car. Of course, this isn't really selling a car because this isn't a commercial. It's spec work from a director touting his directorial abilities.

Akin to suicidal robots selling GM cars aan bombers selling Volkswagens, this spec work touts Audi's diesel goodness by illustrating its clean technology filters out all the bad stuff tail pipe suckers look for when choosing this mode of death.

Maybe the power windows instead? Nope.
