Cup of Snarky

If you are reading this, make sure you are not in the office or you may just be fired over laughing aloud. Here you will learn of the top 5 ridiculous celebrity ad campaigns. They are promotions that may have been created off the hook. Nonetheless, it is official, these ad campaigns are ridiculous, bad and below average. On a scale of one to ten, none of them would get over three.
If you are update with the latest buzz, then you may have noticed a flood of fashion related campaigns that feature some of Hollywood’s most loved female stars. On the Christian Dior Champaign where Mila Kunis is featured there are some points that the producers must have missed out. One thing they may not have realized is that not all actors can pull out show off poses. Mila Kunis appears on the face of the Champaign with her fingers ridiculously creeping on the direction of the corner of her mouth. This is short of what would have been expected of the gorgeous Hollywood star.

On a Pizza Hut commercial Elijah Wood, one of the most handsome and talented American actors, throws a pile of something that pretty much resembles mashed potatoes flat on his sister’s face. This seems quite awkward however we can gauge the commercial and give it a 5 out of 10 since the celebrity figure was had not walked into international fame during the commercial shooting.

The Hollywood star Kate Winslet pulls a very sloppy pose during a fashion Champaign. She poses with her hand behind her head and her elbow positioned high to the roof. It is evident that the purpose of the commercial was not achieved since apparently the celebrity was supposed to show off specific details on her clothing and give the ad a dynamic edge. To most people, the exhibition of the commercial is simply not practicable especially for a fashion mammoth like St. John.

On yet another ridiculous commercial for Aim mint toothpaste, Meg Ryan carelessly directs her mint toothpaste to her friends. The only thing missing in the Champaign is a ra ra ra! Sound expressing how harshly the toothpaste was passed on. It is a fact that this is one of the most ridiculous commercials of all times.

On another St. John ad, Winslet is seen to show off a hot black dress. The only problem is that she pulls out the pose as if she had just woken up on the bare floor and noticed that she was not on her cozy bed.

Have you noticed any other ridiculous celebrity ad campaigns lately?

Everyone loves their car, truck or other automobile. Okay, so we’ll back that up a bit and not make it a blanket statement in absolutes. Many, if not most, people love their automobiles. And with that, another obsession for a lot of people is the type of cars that their favorite celebrities drive. Jesse James is well known for his costume made motorcycles and has enjoyed success with realty television. His West Coast Choppers is now internationally known, though he actually started the company in his mother’s garage in 1992. Meanwhile, he has managed to garner as much notoriety for his relationship, and lack of fidelity, with Sandra Bullock as he has for his work. Most recently, James’ reputation has suffered severely for his lack of fidelity, as well as discretion. However, his career with bikes, cars and trucks is what many people recognize and respect him for, and if he stays out of trouble, it is his work that is likely going to remain with him as his career continues.

Chrome wheels are just one of the features that specialized cars, trucks and motorcycles are known for. What many people seem to overlook is the absolute detail needs of cars, which is one of the things James is known for. It’s much like putting together a fashion model, every little detail counts, and the wheels, which might compare to shoes, are an essential aspect of any well designed vehicle. And as every professional knows, if you’re going to detail your auto, you must go all the way.

Of course for the pros like Jesse James, they take their vehicle passion and incorporate it into their lifestyle. No one is likely to forget the image of James pulling up in a pick up truck to his wedding with Bullock, and while the truck tires might be overlooked or even completely forgotten, you can be sure the truck was customized, down to the last detail. Not everyone has to go to such extremes, or turn their passion for their vehicle into a lifestyle, but many people do put an exorbitant amount of effort and money into the look of their car. And for those few of us who consider their vehicle for its functional element only, it makes little to no sense why some people would put as much money into the appearance and exterior of their auto as what they do to its maintenance. But then, to those that do, we don’t really even exist, except maybe as a potential fix up project or diamond in the rough.
