So India and Japan walk into a bar...

Ok, stop me if you've heard this one before...

So India and Japan were talking one day, and India was feeling a little self-conscious. Japan asked what was getting it down. India replied, "You know, being me is great and all, but you've got such an awesome reputation for being batshit crazy. I wish I could be as bizarre as you."

Japan, both touched at the compliment and moved by India's predicament, decides it wants to help its good friend India out. So, like any good friend, Japan gets India all liquored up. You know, to remove the inhibitions. Then Japan asks "Ok, India, you're primed to go crazy. What can you do really well?"

"Let's see, I've got a growing economy, rich culture and the largest population of any country." India said in a proud, drunken slur.

"Hmm... not much to go with there. What else?"

India paused for a minute, having gone over its main strengths already. After a moment of reflection, India asked, "Well, how about Bollywood?"

Japan's eyes widened. "Perfect! It's recognizable enough, yet it hasn't really been used to do anything weird, perverted, crazy or just insane previously. How about... a condom commercial?"

And thus, the epic Bollywood condom commercial was born. You can see the fruits of their labor embedded below.

I warn you now that this video NSFW for dancing condoms, drawings of penises, and a general assault on your sanity.

BRB, getting dunked on by Patrick Chewing



Patrick Ewing FTW! Being born and raised a New Yorker, he was my childhood sports idol and makes this commercial all the better. It inspired me to buy a Snickers bar. Patrick didn't dunk on me, though.

Monkeying around

While I'm not inclined to be advertising on The Unwind at this time, the other day I heard possibly the most amazingly ridiculous radio commercial ever made for Ticketsnow.com. Words can't quite capture it, so have a listen:

http://blog.ticketsnow.com/mp3/01.mp3

It's a fairly effective commercial, because after only one exposure to it I not only remembered Ticketsnow.com, I decided I needed to hear this commercial again. Not able to find it after about 15 minutes of searching for it online I actually contacted the company's marketing department, who pointed me to their blog (where it's hosted).

All that for an advertisement. Don't say I never did anything for this blog.
