    Think You Could Steal A Banksy?

    Whatever your opinion of Banksy is after watching Exit Through the Gift Shop, you have to admit, this is an interesting idea… The mysterious street artist has inspired an Australian hotel chain to launch, what some may deem a crazy proposition. Art Series Hotels are hiding a $15,000 Banksy in one of their Hotels for [...]

    Kobe Beef, Foie Gras Burger Called the 1%

    When I saw these “humorous” menu items, I immediately thought of the Corporate Hating™ wave because it references the Occupy Wall St movement.  The Human Truth of that wave is: “I hate being treated like I don’t matter.”™ So You would understand why the OCCUPY movement is at home in that wave. However, it doesn’t [...]

    Mistle-toasted

    This is a movie franchise that knows their demographic well.  In fact, they celebrate being a “Stoner Movie.” They gleefully play to the flip side of “Family Friendly Holiday Cheer” in the way that Bad Santa and Christmas Vacation have done in the past. With this latest promotion they are targeting college campuses (surprised?): “Plan [...]

    SpyPic: Alibi Activity App

    The site where I found this app seemed rather creeped out by it.  Maybe I am creepy because I think I would actually use it. “Unleash your inner creep with the local iPhone app that covers your screen with an “alibi activity” (i.e. a fake screen) to hide the fact you’re actually snapping photos. Just [...]

    AUDI Fights Crime By Breaking The Rules

    I have to admit when I saw this pic I thought it was an act of Brandalizm™.  Surely, a high-end brand like Audi wouldn’t be so “edgy”?  But it’s legit! -at least in South Africa. For those of you not familiar with Afrikaan (you mean you haven’t seen District 9 or listened to Die Antwoord??), [...]

    Blasphemy As Branding

    Ok so I’m what would definitely be defined as a “lapsed” catholic.  I am the poster girl of “spiritual but not religious”.  However, even I would not eat one of these “hot cross buns”.  I know many people will see it as a joke…. (which I’m aware that’s what it’s meant to be) but I [...]

    Art So Underground – It’s Illegal

    The Barely Legal™ Wave represents behavior that’s a little taboo, a brief walk on the wildside. However, what happened to the art fans who ventured into the NYC subway system was all too real in its legality.
