Sports + Moms = Tears

In honour of International Women's day, here is a commercial about moms that will make you cry.

I dare you not to cry after this one.

It's still tough being a woman in this world.

The Days Before Photoshop

Check out these disgusting looking ads for food from back in the day. 

I can't tell if they are taken from photos or if they're illustrations, either way, they make me want to vomit. 

 Who doesn't love a good lime cheese salad? Is that meat in the middle? Human?

The classic Meal-in-a-Mould. I wouldn't necessarily say that's it's exciting, but it is obviously made from cans. What's the gelatinous stuff that the peas are floating in? What's the wavey stuff in the middle? 

I honestly can't even look at this one.

Who is fast frosting tuna salad? What does that even mean?

This looks like a wound.

This looks like a festering wound.

Yum, speef and spork!

Thankfully we have fake food and lighting and tons of Photoshop now.

Pretty sure that steam isn't real.

Biceps not Bones

When you read a fashion magazine, there's page after page of pretty, generic girls looking bored.

Her face says "I'd rather be sleeping". I feel 10x bored-er just looking at her.

And when you look at a fitness magazine, you see girls that look like Jelena Abbou.

BUT what happens when worlds collide and Jelena poses for a fashion editorial?
Amazingness.

She's (FITtingly) the new face of MAC's "strength" campaign. Good for her, ladies and gentlemen! This image would really catch your eye in the pages of Vogue. MAC has been known to take risks with their campaigns, pairing up with faces like Debbie Harry

Pamela Anderson in the past-her-prime years.

And (a personal her of mine) Missy Elliott.

Ugh. Love her.

Keep taking risks MAC! At 20$ per eye-shadow, you can afford it.

The Cutest Fake Wedding

I personally don't watch Parks and Recreation, but the internet tells me that it has either come to a season or series end. The big climax of the show was Ben and Leslie's wedding (spoiler alert?)

Mashable.com had a feature about this episode's wedding album, that they delightfully placed on Pinterest, as if it were a real wedding of a rich stranger. Here are some snaps:

TV shows and real life are intertwining ever so much more in these new normal days of modern families and offices. 

HOW CUTE IS THIS!?

Poupon All Over: The Return of Grey Poupon

Here's the full version of the Grey Poupon caper. How indubitably riveting! Jolly good.

Grey Poupon - An Explosive Revenge Tale

The second greatest day for commercial advertisers draws near - the Oscars. It attracts a whole different viewership than the Super Bowl, but the adspace is still ridiculously expensive, at 1.7 million per 30 seconds.

"But what does this have to do with mustard!?" said No One.

Well, it looks like a commercial is going to finish what it started 30 years ago.
Here's the 1981 version of the Grey Poupon commercial:

Super boring but very 80's, right?
Well here's the Trailer(!!!) for the 2013 version:

Since when do commercials have trailers? Since they started making them as epic as this one. It looks like a James Bond movie. Apparently the full version is going to be 2 minutes long, and if my basic maths are correct, it's going to cost them 6.8 million dollars to air! And that's not counting the production value.

This Grey Poupon-aganza leaves me with many questions, namely, where is Grey Poupon getting like 10 million dollars from? Did they not air a commercial since the 1981 version? Are commercials going to be the next movies? Are movies going to be the next commercials? Is grey poupon a brand or a flavour of mustard? It really makes sense that they would air this whopper during the day-long programming of the Oscars for it's Skyfall-esqueness. 

He he he... "poupon".

There's a countdown to the full commercial on their website, which is also a convenient countdown to the Oscars, in case you forgot that they're this Sunday.

Go Zero Dark Thrity! Who do you want to see take home a little golden man?

What a beautiful animation collaboration about bullying.
