Japanese Triple Whopper ad is weird




Creative sessions in Japanese ad agencies must be truly surreal experiences.

"That burger is ridiculously huge. How the hell are you supposed to get it in your mouth."

"If only you could expand your jaw, like a snake."

"Brilliant! Get the storyboard artist in here!"

F'd Ad Fridays: Calorie-burning underpants from Japan

Loyal Reader Martha W sent this link my way:



Apparently, the honeycomb construction of these undergarments burns extra calories, both in workouts and in everyday life, by adding resistance to every movement.


Yeah, sounds totally legit.

F'd Ad Fridays: The perfect gift for your little van Leeuwenhoek

No, not really.

Ironically, I received this super geeky adult sex toy link as comment spam, and here I am posting about it.


From the product site:

"It might not be made by the space agency but the Nasa Scope is still pretty hi-tech, and a fantastic way to view your own sperm or any other juices you or your partner produce! Use the various lens to get a maximum magnification of 1200 times and REALLY get to know how your body works.

This set includes not only the powerful yet novice-friendly microscope, but also samples for you to test out your scientific skills before you get more personal. There are also slides, filters, a dropper and a spatula included. This has been especially produced for all those curious guys and gals out there, so don't feel squeamish or embarrassed about putting your intimate liquids right under the microscope!
The Nasa Scope features:
  • Includes: samples (fat, sea salt, shrimp eggs, eosin), slides x 4, color filter, pin set, prepared slide x 2, dropper, spatula, surgical knife"

 Surgical knife? What kind of sick shenanigans are they getting up to in the bedrooms of Japan?

Although I do appreciate the historical appropriateness of examining intimate fluids. Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek, father of microbiology, famously fell afoul of church authorities for discovering sperm by examining semen under his early microscope.


"I have often observed the sperm of a healthy man without waiting for it to become corrupt or fluid/watery, five or six minutes after ejaculation. I have noticed that a large number of small animals, I think it must be more than a thousand, on an area no larger than a grain of sand."
 Maybe I should be more curious about what kind of shenanigans they're getting up to in the laboratories of The Netherlands.

F'd Ad Fridays: "We're out of milk!"



And here I thought lactose tolerance was rare in Japan. Perhaps it's just the dairy ads that cause indigestion...
