IrregularHunter: Our magazine adverts suck and you know it!

  IrregularHunter: Our magazine adverts suck and you know it!

Blah
At the current time being ill with heart problems, having a mental breakdown, eating your hair, missing your best friend madly, being run bown by a box can have it's toll on me.

So I take it out on, what a surprise, more awful magazine adverts. For those new to the entire thing please check out this previous journal. >LINK<
When I'll get my second website up I'm hoping to put these on there for easier access.

Without further delay, here's some awful adverts!

As much as I enjoy adverts for cereal bars for their hilariously awful attempts at reaching towards the kids. This part of a certain ad caught my eye:


(and Katie Barney, too yuck!)

Now I may be mistaken, bad eyesight often gets all artists apparently, but those are two boys. So what's with the ? I'm more concerned that two young boys are getting it on together at that age than yucked out.

But why is that boy's name 'Katie'? I was so sure Katie was a girl's name. I have heard of cases where 'Chris' can be used for both genders but 'Kaite'?
Is there a male version that was shortened for this ad? Like 'Katien'? or 'Katitrensition'?
Either way I'm sure that boy gets bullied a lot for such a name and appearing in an ad where it implies that he's gay with a poor kid who's got a star lodged in his head doesn't help either.

I wonder how that star got stuck in the kids head in the first place. Must be painful. I'm surprised he's even able to stand.



I used to go to school with Orange Tango. I never knew that he would be an addict though, he didn't seem like the type of person.
Well, until he started selling his body to a soda company so he can buy more artificial colouring from the local drug dealer down the road.
Thanks to artificial colouring and flavours he started to look more paler and paler, his taste of behavior didn't help too. He would start fights and squash all those who opposed him like, well, oranges.
After that he dropped out of school to sell his body full time and I never heard from him since.

I say good for him.



Make Love not Dinner.

What does hair have to do with dinner? I can understand the love part because of the man's lips reaching out towards hers.
However she seems more concerned to why there's words that say, 'Make love not Dinner', attached to her hair then making out with the man.

Way to leave him hanging miss.

Oh wait, possibly the man is reaching out to eat her hair. You know us guys, we love eating our girlfriends hair. Yum yum!
In other words the ad is implying to make your hair stylish enough to have men fall in love with it than eat it.

But if that's the case, neither of those two people are really in love with each other.
The woman is far more concerned with her hair to even look into her lover's eyes while the man is far more concerned with eating her hair to even try and get a quick kiss without her knowing.

An obvious thought into this is implying that all women cook dinner for us. It also implies that women think hair is far more important to love than making dinner.
I never thought sexist remarks would come from a female oriented hair corporation. How ironic!

Either way it's hair. It's got me thinking about hair. It's given me headaches trying to find the logic in this hair situation. Congratulations advert you made me hate hair.




Watch out Chunks! That spoon has suddenly grown a face with a pedophilic stare due to a mutant accident in the kitchen!
What gets to me is how the owner of both the spoon and Chunks seems unfazed by the fact that his spoon mutated a face and started violating poor chunks.

I guess its better having a spoon shoved inside you by a giant man then having Jean luc Picard shoot your naked fat stomach over and over again to death metal as a horrible internet meme.

(Yes, I know it's a reflection.)



After realizing what she just stepped on, the girl wished she never had that wish in the first place. But with an advert that says 'sponser a pony' the entire thing is wishful thinking after all.


Damn you INTERNETS for giving me false hope!


Oh look 2 more comic strips until 100. It's like counting down to Christmas but more sadder.

I despise the ads lately. They all suck. Hence why I want to go into advertising and marketing. To improve them all.

DracoSkyne Says:

So apparently hair decides whether or not someone gets sex.

Also, what kind of guy smiles when he looks at yogurt? That's just creepy.
