Just a little more to the left...

I say, go with it...

If you need to put this in the header of your website, then you may need to rethink your marketing strategy...or else team up with these folks

A Vlasic mistake

Looks like fun to me...

The ghost and the fun beach vacation?

It really was a fairy tale wedding

While not an ADmonishment (and I know, they are much overdue. Chicago hasn't been very funny lately, to be honest) this has been circulating recently and has made me laugh out loud each time.

Going where no ad has gone before...

Hmmm...serious subject, toilet paper punting and a Star Trek font:

Not quite the direction I would have gone.

Thanks Alex T.

Yes! Certificates of Deposit DO make me think about Ice Cream

The Ally Bank raise your rate CD but the marketing department not think about grammar and punctuation.

After a delightful meal at Detroit's Famous Leo's Coney Island, we grabbed a few drinks at California's famous Jack's Central Park.

I think this is what Alanis Morissette would call...ironic.

(Sorry for the long absence folks. It's been a busy few months. But then, absence does make the heart grow fonder...)

My response:

We all have them

Alzheimer.com defines a senior moment as a mental glitch.
Which apparently is what someone at this University was having when
they decided to name their senior spotlight section

Watch it. Or don't. I don't care.

This commercial doesn't need to be admonished. It's perfect just the way it is.

Running off with your broom between your legs

Matches will be hosted on the Starship Enterprise (not actually a spaceship...yet) and refereed by Bilbo Baggins (not actually a hobbit...yet).

Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

It's about time.

Advertising spin...

noreply@blogger.com (AS) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:46:00 +0000

50% below? Only slightly? Genuine bargain? Ash tray?
Sold.

A passing grade

In Chicago, every day is a learning opportunity.

Thanks Evan L. ;)

Thanks PSA

"Snuggling or Snatching? Don't be a victim of pick pocketing"

I wish I had seen this public service announcement before I found out that my boyfriend was actually just trying to steal my wallet.

I don't know. I'm not sure I qualify for this study...

You're welcome

That's what the world has been missing:
anatomically correct stick figures.

Thanks Barbara A.!!

I knew my day was missing something: some English studies and a little Super Joy.

Just in case...

noreply@blogger.com (AS) — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 03:05:00 +0000

Now, more convenient than ever!

The new 24/7

Oh, indeed.

So that's what you say when someone falls on the tracks. Thanks, helpful sign.

I will be in Japan for the next three months, so most of my Admonishments will be taken from the land of the Rising Sun. This blog won't become the next Engrish.com (if you haven't checked it out before, I highly recommend you do) but while I'm out here, I'm definitely going to take advantage of the plethora of fantastic signage

The greatest love story never told. Until now.
