A couple of years ago, someone here said they were going to do a post on tramp stamps. I thought, OK, I'll help them out, since I have a few weird tattoo pictures in my files. Then time went by and nothing happened, and I can't even remember who it was now, or whether he is still a contributor. But I kept collecting. And since I obviously can't wait forever to post something on YBNBY, here are some tramp stamps that will make you ponder the state of the human race.

The Good: We went there for Mother's Day

The Sad: Their meat could be beat

The Funny: My grandma-in-law cracking highly awkward jokes about the slogan

Hope the rest of you mothers out there had a memorable Mother's Day as well!!!

Oh great, look at this. Always feminine products has a line of ecards you can send to a friend on the occasion of her period. Not just a girl's first period, but any of them. Like anyone should know. These would be great if they were at least funny, but they aren't. They are supposed to be for encouragement. What they really seem to be, besides advertising for Always, is permission (even encouragement) for a woman to a) slack off work or other activities, 2) eat chocolate, and c) be a bitch.

At my age and never having been pregnant, I've probably had more periods than 99.99% of those who read this. If I had bought into the things some girls are taught, about 20% of those years would have been spent feeling sorry for myself, and that's a serious waste of time. Sure, some women have PMS or trouble during their period, but many more just give up trying to be normal because they have an excuse. An elderly relative inquires about my daughters' status and always adds that she dreads their puberty and feels so sorry for them for all that they will have to go through. Bullshit. I don't even want my kids to hear that. If a monthly visit from Aunt Flo is going to be a real problem for any of my girls, they will find that out soon enough. There's no reason to go into quasi-adulthood with dread or fear (at least about things that aren't life-threatening), or use it as a handy excuse to drop out of life for a chunk of every month. Life is too damn short as it is.

...a huge visual joke...

This song has been used a couple of times already for advertising purposes, but never for such an appropriate product. You like big butts? Eat a few of these!

The KFC Double Down goes on sale today for lunch. From all the hype, you'd think that it was available weeks ago. Behind the many indignant reviews is a marketing plan that is not quite new, but still genius. Once you strip away the plan, there's not a whole lot left.

Most of us are so jaded by advertising that it is beyond any ad agency to convince us that their product is better than someone else's just by telling us it is. The best they can do is to get our attention. This is the perfect example of how to do just that.

One of these TV commercials is real, and one is fake. Are you a savvy enough consumer to spot which is which?

On the left is the Hug E Gram; on the right, the G. F. Spooner.

Answer after the jump!

Toyota has had a lot of troubles with their cars lately.
In an attempt to come clean with the public and their consumers, the marketing execs have decided to adjust their brand tagline.

It's pretty much a given these days that you can get free advertising space on blogs if your ad is funny enough to be entertaining in itself. Ray-Ban and Samsung are masters at this, although they've pretty much worn out their welcome by now. Spirit Airlines gets into the game in fine fashion by muff diving, of all things.

PS: never trust a price with an asterisk.

I can't believe that I'm actually posting a Walmart ad, but this is the funniest clown I've ever seen.

That Sofa King, he a sofa king rebel.

Now, enjoy something sofa king inpirational from SNL.

Not since Pete Schweddy spent some time on the Delicious Dish have we seen something so revolutionary in balls. And while it is an advertisement, it's ridiculously funny.

For $20 you can give your backside the padding it needs to really pop.
(The sound effects are extra.)

Or, you can do it the normal way, sit on your ass for days eating candy bars.

What will they think of next?

Uh...

Is Tarantino shilling a cell phone that is shaped like a dog? Does that dog play music? Is he wielding an invisible samurai sword? I don't know what the hell is going on here. But it's hilarious.
