If you guessed “stapling grapefruits to your chest whilst wandering through a wind tunnel,” you’re close. This is an for Pantene “con Pro Vitaminas.” That’s right, laaaadies. It’s an ad for Latinas! Because it’s not enough that every young...

We guess Italian nonnas must have a lot in common with Cuban abuelitas because this commercial (almost) made us want to give our grandmother a call. And reminisce about how she helped foster guilty feelings concerning food! Yay! Pass...

MondayApril072008

We’ll cop to being grossly immature, which is probably why we don’t usually get the subtle wit and thoughtful social commentary that permeate most of VH1’s programming. We thought “Rock of Love” was just about Miller High Life-soaked ladies...

FridayApril042008

Mexicans! A fiery people seething with passion and rage, are they not? And they sure do love to drink! Also, the have a lust for conquest passed down from the Spanish ancestors and the Aztecs, who would kill other...

If you’ve ever felt your melanin was getting in the way of allowing your inner beauty to shine through, well. You’re not alone. Women in Thailand have learned from commercials that they have the exact same problem. “Smooth E....

TuesdayMarch112008

This commercial for Coke Light (which tastes just like Diet Coke, if it were made of dreams and unicorn tears) is making us think that perhaps a little trip to the confessional is in order. Because it beats the...

MondayFebruary042008

Hey, you know what’s funny? Us either, as our commenters have managed to point out time and time again. But we have a feeling it isn’t Carlos Mencia’s SuperBowl ad for Budweiser....

We’re not quite sure what to think about this new Taco Bell ad, except that this platter looks like something we’d eat at 3 in the morning and gravely regret at 4 in the morning and the hot mariachi...

FridayJanuary252008

WednesdayJanuary232008

The Colombian government has taken to using advertising campaigns in an effort to get guerrilla members, like those in Farc, to leave the nation’s jungles and re-enter civilian life: To reach the guerrillas, radio has proved the best means...

WednesdayJanuary232008

Shakira is the newest face and mane for Sunsilk hair products. We much prefer Shakira’s black dreadlocked phase, back when her songs weren’t Beyonce’s, but we guess peroxide blondes are ok, too. We like things that are highly flammable....

MondayJanuary142008

Actor Luis Guzman isn’t afraid to get cheesy for a role schilling Vermont cheddar; we’re not above using lame puns to describe it. So, hey, why is he selling cheese anyway? Maybe their research showed that Latinos cook with...
