Id rather find the STIG than WALDO!

Perfect products

Wheresstig-new

This just in – as of September 17th, YOU could be leafing through your very own ‘Where’s Stig?” book!

That’s right, the folks at BBC and Top Gear have made their own take on the old “Where’s Wally?” [or rather what our new Canadian colleague INSISTS is actually called "Where's Waldo?"].

This time though, instead of spending your time looking aimlessly for some dweeb in a striped jersey and a ball ended beanie, you can now search for the ever mysterious Stig through a series of memorable Top Gear cartoon scenes.  Awesome!

Tg-track-studio

The new book has been marketed to children, but really, whose fooling who, we all know that each of us are going to go out and buy a copy solely for ourselves.

Are you planning a holiday?

High Flying!
Are you there yet?

Upon arrival at our splendid villa, you and your friends are greeted by an extraordinary welcoming party. A stunning array of attractive, sensual women, selectively picked from the most exotic regions of the world.

These beautiful girls, who are between 18 and 26 years of age, exhibit only the finest qualities that we feel our clients have come to appreciate in the past.

This initial private gathering gives you the opportunity to become very well acquainted with all of our lovely ladies who eagerly await to be the ones chosen to accompany you on your Viking Escape.

Viking’s Villa
A lush retreat of private elegance and breathtaking beauty with dramatic ocean views, private beach, and a spectacular pool and Jacuzzi. Our Villa’s dramatic setting is pure “sin-sational” pleasure. Our hideaway comes with an array of James Bond style girls from exotic countries like Russia and Brazil, to mention just a few.

With champagne flowing and a variety of exquisite meals prepared by your own award winning chef, it just doesn’t get any better than this.

Personal Companions
Once chosen, your fantasy girl(s) will serve as the perfect compliment to what promises to be an unforgettable stay at “Viking’s Resort”.
Whatever your background, we think you’ll agree that there comes a time in life when one should reap the benefits of hard work and sacrifice, when one should take time to enjoy the pleasures so richly deserved. At “Viking’s Resort” our clients are King, no work – no worry, just pure bodily pleasure.

Imagine the fun and excitement of being accompanied by beautiful girls in an exotic and tropical environment. Traveling alone doesn’t necessarily mean being alone anymore. Lying around the pool in the shade of a coconut tree, your smiling companion brings you your favorite drink while you let your mind wander.

Should you have any energy left after your favorite occupation, Viking’s Resort provides for a variety of sport facilities including: championship golf, scuba diving, big game fishing, snorkeling, water skiing, windsurfing. Also available for day trips are power or sailing boats.

A Day in Paradise
A typical day in paradise starts with an early morning dip followed by an invigorating water ski. The crystal clear waters have you naturally refreshed and energized. It’s hard to imagine that the others could still be sleeping away this precious day.

With the sun now rising quickly in full view you consider your options over an open air breakfast out on the terrace. You chuckle to yourself thinking briefly of the guys back home, wishing they could be here to see you now. Relieved for once that it is not you rolling into work on this beautiful Monday morning.

Just relax and enjoy as the amenable crew pampers and adheres to your personal wishes or perhaps you have something else in mind, having spotted that untouched beach. Your lovely companion is eager to explore this exotic island with you and has pointed out one of her favorite spots behind the rocks, you consider it!

YOU CAN BOOK ON THEIR WEBSITE!

How cool is old school Guinness . . .

Advertising Genius!
guinness-good-1.jpg guinness-strength-1.jpg

London’s Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising joins in to celebrate Guinness’ 250th anniversary with their current exhibition, “The Art of Guinness.” Paying tribute to the legendary stout, the show simultaneously examines how the company remains so successful after all these years,

guinness-advert-1.jpgProminently featuring the work of John Gilroy (pictured below), whose use of zoo animals and the tagline “My Goodness, My Guinness” brought instant recognition to the beer and its advertisements, the exhibit will also include graphic designs by other commissioned artists like H.M. Bateman (pictured above) and Edward Ardizzone.

You can be Dexter too (these are cool but i prefer creating my own)

Perfect products

Dextercoaster

Look, let’s be frank here – most companies make an absolute abortion of promotional items…or ‘gifts’ as they like to call it.

Practically 100% of the time, these so-called gifts are so crap, over-branded and useless you wouldn’t offer them to the homeless let alone a client that you still want to do business with after the shoddy presentation ceremony.
So, it’s like a refreshing pack of ice down the pants to see these Dexter [a TV show about a serial killer that works as a forensic blood splatter analyst] drinks coasters.

They’re made to look like his blood samples on microscope slides which he houses in a wooden box in the show, so totally adds to the sick character of the show. No mess, no fuss. We want – even though we can’t remember the last time a coaster was ever used around this place.

See, now how difficult was that? So stop with your ‘Made in China’ desk clock / calculator and just send alcohol already to dull the pain of dealing with your incompetent, stupid call centre based in India.

Brad Pitt is a very cool dude . . . as if you dint know that

International

Quentin Tarantino: Brad Pitt Forced Me To Smoke Hash!

Quentin Hashes Things Out

Quentin Tarantino went on the Howard Stern radio show and claimed that Brad Pitt gave him a block of hashish – after the pair boozed their way through five bottles of wine!

The film director has revealed that he went to Pitt’s French home, in a bid to get him to sign up for new flick, Inglourious Basterds. Tarantino claimed one of the “coolest” things Pitt did during the meeting was to “pull out a brick of hash” and give him a piece of it. Quoth Quentin: ”So he takes this brick and whips out a knife like Jesse James and cuts me off this big sliver.” After talking up the hash’s quality, Tarantino added that the two mega stars smoked it out of a soda can! However, this conflicts with Brad’s claim on Bill Maher’s show Real Time last week, where he said that his party days are over now that he’s a father of 6. Wonder how Brad feels about Quentin’s claim!
