ODYSSEY.COM! I CAN SEE IT!

Praise the Lord! Or Stanley Kubrick! (Get it, "2001: A Space Odyssey"?) Finally — a billboard where you can not only read what's being advertised, but can READ THE WEBSITE TOO!! AND WHAT YOU CAN EXPERIENCE IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE AND BUY TICKETS!!

DINING! DANCING! CHICAGO SKYLINE VIEWS! (ON A BOAT!)

And most importantly — you can read it while driving by on the highway going probably around 60mph. So simple, yet so effective.

Dear Garnier Fructis, What's Up With the Argon — Oops, ARGAN — Oil?

Dear Garnier Fructis,

Your recent hair-product commercials boast the ingredient argan oil (which I thought was spelled "argon" like the element from the periodic table). I have no idea what argan oil is, or what its benefits are. When I hear the word "argan" I think of arsenic, which is a poison. Or else I think of Jason and the Argonauts, who I didn't much enjoy reading about in Latin class in high school. Why don't you briefly state how argon — I mean, argan — oil improves your hair? Like you do with avocado and shea oils in the commercial below?

Sincerely,
Leah

Hi Groupon, Look, I Wrote About You, Look

Okay, I didn't take a photo of this Groupon port-a-potty ad and text it to a friend (as exactly instructed on the sign pictured above). But I did take a picture of it. And I'm posting it on this blog and talking about it, so that counts, right? Right???

So a series of these phrases sprayed the doors of port-a-johns across North Coast Music Fest Sept 2-4 in Chicago, along with other sponsorship displays — such as The Named After Groupon Stage. Genius. I should rename this blog The Hire Me Because I'm Good at What I Do and Need a Job Blog. Here's another handful of brain-searing bathroom-wall goodness.






And last but certainly not least:



I'd suggest one change to this though. I would have it read: "It's pronounced 'groo-pon.' Rhymes with 'poo-pon.'"
