Cerebrus stands before the gates of hell Not pictured: Third head

This commercial comes from a time and place so long ago and so far away, its origins may never be known.

Ok my boss just told me it comes from Japan, and you can see a watermark in the lower left corner that says the spot is from 2001.

Aside from these meager clues, we are left to merely guess as to the purpose of the product being sold in this commercial. Is it a box full of ground up kitty pieces? Using our best estimation of the Japanese culture and people, we can only say, most probably yes.

Hi I’m Bobby No-Hand

I found this collection of violent and funny Canadian PSAs via in4mador. Each ad features someone getting into a horrible accident, and then blaming it on the ladder. Even in the accidents that don’t involve a ladder!

Of the three, the one with the woman getting her face cooked by the deep fat fryer is probably the most disturbing, but maybe you have a fear of being bisected, and would find the woman falling off a ladder onto glass much more horrifying. The Deep Fat Face Cook can be found here, the Man Falling to his Horrible Death can be found here, and The Mystery of the Bisected Woman can be found here.

(Oh there is more…)

No wait, THIS is that I am going as for Halloween

We found this Indian PSA / music video for condom use via bestweekever.tv. They claim it’s the funniest thing you’ll see all day, but at 6 minutes long it gets somewhat tedious, and you’ll probably want to turn it off before they start demonstrating how to put on a condom.

It is so ridiculous one has to wonder if the whole thing isn’t a joke. Also from reading the subtitles it’s apparent many more words rhyme in Hindi than in English.

Do you wave your pinkie at me sir?

The World of BBC News covers this television commercial ad brought to us by New South Wales, Australia.

Phil Mercer says in the report, ‘Television and online ads show scornful women bending their little fingers at young men in fast cars. It’s a signal to infer that the men have small penises.’

Oh so that’s what that means, no wonder none of the taxis stopped for me when I was in Australia doing that at them. And by the way Phil, the signal would imply the presence of a small penis, though the signaler could maybe infer its existence.

Hypothetical small member asides, the report goes on to warn that some think the ad might promote the finger waving in public, and lead to small-donged road rage.

Hammertime!

You don’t need to understand the language to get what this commercial is about. I think it’s about time travel. There’s this one shot I swear is taken right from Timecop.

This PSA is speaking out against drunk driving in a graphic way. The spot is well done except for the shot of the people being hit with the wrecking ball, it’s about as phony as a presidential debate. Don’t steal that joke from me Leno it’s mine, I thought of it!
