Needle Freaks - Extreme Tattoo Addiction (GALLERY)

There was a time when tattoos were thought to be a passing trend but for some people tattoos have become an addiction.

Naked People Pushing Skincare - Elave Has 'Nothing to Hide' (GALLERY)

Elave, an Irish skincare company founded in 1934, has launched a new campaign and interactive site that features naked people.

Naughty Dollies - Lita The Burlesque Plush Doll (GALLERY)

Claiming to be a doll for adults who like burlesque does not change the fact that the only people who are going to want this doll are little kids. And what do little kids do when they get a new toy?

SpamShirt - Recycling Spam into Sparkling New T-Shirts
Nice concept.

Pole Dancing Exercise - Sexy Movements Become the Latest Form of Exercise
I've seen this in LA as well... Hot exercise!

Subliminal Auditising - Audi gets logo in Chevy Ad
Auditising... Nice one. I wonder if (or how much) this was digitally enhanced by an Audi driver...

Human Vending Machine
I think you can get a lot of great publicity for something like this. I could have used the concept for a couple client's I've had in the past.

College Notebooks Become Ad Medium - UNOTES
Free is good. Marketers are banned from most opportunities in high schools, but college and university students appear to be free game. I'm actually surprised this hasn't happened sooner and I wonder when we'll see a sponsored TEXT book (ie. not just a notebook).
