The Ronald McDonald Chronicles {Asylum}

Jul 29th 2008 11:40PM And what if it wasn't a man at all? Check this weird ad from Japan... where Ronald McDonald is a girl!

Weird mix between cool and creepy, uhm?

Turn Your Unwanted Business Cards into Brilliant Origami {Asylum}

Jun 3rd 2008 6:17PM Interesting... at least you are recycling them, LOL.

But you can't do that if you are any of these guys, their business cards are too cool.. and they can't be fold!

Mastering the Man Hug {Asylum}

May 16th 2008 4:30PM This commercial for Pepsi, from Argentina, also plays over those awkward moments... in this case is a bit more awkward, considering the age difference between the two guys...

Not for the hyper sensible ones, though!

$1,300 Ice Balls Will Chill Your Top-Shelf Swill {Asylum}

May 13th 2008 6:53PM There is a better way and by far less expensive... is called the Piet Hein drink cooler it doesn't water down the whiskey at all and it also LOOKS really cool (I bought it for my husband this year). This is it: http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/kitchen/8b57/

Now, if we are talking one of those guys that are still "kids" at heart, you may want a Lego Ice Tray...

$ 1300 for an ice maker? No way...!

Man Uses Steak Knife to Perform Tracheotomy -- On Himself {Asylum}

May 9th 2008 12:26PM I am glad for the guy. I would probably be dead if it was me... :))

Condoms Sing and Dance in the Streets of India {Asylum}

May 8th 2008 7:08PM Is funny but the longest one I have ever seen! And talking about condoms and long... LOL check out this ad from an African brand trying to convey the fact that they do have XXL :))

http://www.uglydoggy.com/2008/02/trust-kenya.html

All considering, not extremely subtle but as subtle as it can get, I guess. It is not easy to advertise condoms per se, it has to be even worst to have to advertise "XXL"

Ironic Till the End: the Pabst Blue Ribbon Coffin {Asylum}

May 6th 2008 6:21PM Coffins made "to please" have become more common. In Brazil and England there are companies where you can design and order your coffin with rock and roll designs or football teams colors or -for children- with their favorite cartoons...
You can see a couple at http://www.uglydoggy.com/2007/05/matter-of-taste.html and also find there the link to the English company.

When Government Branding Goes Wrong {Asylum}

Apr 26th 2008 2:23PM There are so many cases like this! Some are even worst, because you can see something is wrong without even rotating the logo... here you can see some examples: http://www.uglydoggy.com/2008/02/bad-designs-clueless-clients.html

Lost in Translation: Awkward Signs from Around the World {Asylum}

Apr 11th 2008 11:00AM Joe, you are correct in some cases. In some other cases the problem is not the fact that they are literal translations but that from all the things that a word may mean, they choose the wrong one. So the translation may have been good even literally if they have tried to check which option was the right one.

The SHCOOL one is in the US, yes, in fact in Weston FL. Here the original shot with another public misspelling this time in Orlando: http://www.uglydoggy.com/2008/02/florida-in-just-few-words.html - Enjoy!

Lost in Translation: Awkward Signs from Around the World {Asylum}

Apr 10th 2008 5:30PM What about this one?

http://www.uglydoggy.com/2008/03/how-you-present-yourself.html

...and then you have it the other way around too, companies in the US trying to "speak Spanish" and delivering horrible messages instead:

Translation is an art and correct spelling seems to be slowly disappearing!
