Still cramming for exams (futilely, I should add), but here’s a hilariously weird advertisement for a currency trading company. I can assure you this would never be seen on American TV:
(Via Gawker)
« Hmm…
Oh Germany
« Hmm…
Blag Hag
Atheism, feminism, geekery
Hilarious, and unexpected too…

That gives the term “currency exchange” a whole new meaning. Also “liquidity.”
“Hey baby, nice assets.”
But, really, she’s a golddigger. (“You just like me for my money!” “No, I like you for you!” “Same thing!”)
Of course, Madonna said it best. “If they can’t raise my interest then I’ll have to let them be.”
Oh god, I can’t help myself! Too many money/sex jokes!

“Is that a roll of quarters, or are you just happy to see me.”

“And on Monday, the dollar rose against the mark.”
I guess they have a yen to pound one another, eh?

Oh. Em. Gee.
I was not expecting that. HA!

You know America is in a good place when an advertisement like that circulates widely without much fuss.
I wonder when that’ll be…

Oh, and isn’t it a bit backwards to be fine showing a commercial like this (warning for you vegetarians out there):Hardee’s and Padma Lakshmi
At least the Bontrust commercial is comical.

Hey, honey, can I give you an injection of capital?

Oh, and Jeremiah, if you don’t get the humor in the Hardee’s commercial, you have no sense of humor.

I only see humor in the Hardee’s advertisement not from intention, but from circumstance.
Padma going from vegetarian to full-blown omnivore and expressing that transition through the epitome of meatieness is a bit ridiculous, and its ridiculousness makes it humorous.
Being sexy eating a Big Western is also ridiculous, so I guess that’s humorous.
But the commercial is meant to be provocative, not funny. I found it strangely sexy. Nothing more. Deeper analysis proves it to be stupid, like most advertisements. But humorous? That’s not my first reaction.
Guess I don’t share your sense of humor, which apparent is the Sense of Humor.
