It’s A Very Clever Advertising Idea… BUT I Don’t Think You Want It Near Your Restaurant.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so you don't miss any of the NEW IDEAS posted twice per day. Thanks for visiting!

It is an idea that is sure to grab attention and work for the fitness center that created it…

But it won’t do a whole lot for your average dollar sales if your clients are exposed to it. However, it is a great example of how you could use high traffic pavements to get your (more sales oriented) message out there at low cost.

At Last, a Unique Bar That Suits My… Well, Um, Unique, Personality.

Some, have been unkind enough to suggest that it’s rugged dilapidated state, is merely a reflection of my own disintegration.

(FUCK THEM!)

In a time of boring, trendy, cookie cutter sameness… This bar comes as (and with) a healthy breath of fresh air.

I love the idea of being able to sail my yacht right up to the door of a bar… WOW that really is half my dream, (the other half is a little beyond acceptable, good taste.)

This ripper is in Jamaica, why doesn’t some bright spark franchise this concept?

Airline Food???

No, I don’t think it’s for real…

Pity, it would be a great idea and sure as hell beat 99.9% of the plastic rubbish most airlines serve (well, in cattle class anyway)

Wow! would this give an airline a point of difference.

Breast Puddings… is it the NEW craze for your restaurant.

How come the Japanese keep coming up with all this bizarre stuff?

Is it the water they drink? or some form of new, questionably legal, stuff they put in their cigarettes?

Personally, I just don’t see myself sitting in my local restaurant nibbling on a breast pudding, in spite of my rampaging hormones and repressed inner desires.

How would you order it from the waitress? Excuse me miss, for sweets I’ll have a very large serving of your breasts!

Mind you it would make a great take home gift (No! we won’t mention doggy bags)

In fact it/they would probably sell like hot potatoes as a gimmick for the office worker market.

Illegal Restaurant Flame Ignites Womans Hair…

Published by Lindsay under EDITORIAL COMMENTS

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - A Midlands woman claims her hair caught fire on an illegal sushi restaurant candle.

The woman asked officials why there isn’t a law against open flames in restaurants.

However, there is a law. The restaurant was just breaking it. It’s a restaurant that prides itself on the “intimate dining experience” with dinner by candlelight, but one of those candles made for an extremely bad experience for Elizabeth Moore.

Read Full Details HERE

This is a must read horror story for any restaurant that promotes intimate candle lit dining.

Advertising That Provides Real Food For Thought…

To graphically shoe the effects of beach pollution…

Satchi and Satchi collected trash from various beaches, packaged it to look like seafood and displayed it at local farmers’ markets. These pics are from a print run of posters for those who didn’t attend the market.

Yet another product that the world has been sitting on the edge of their seats waiting on…

This is the sort of creative problem solving that banishes global warming and starving children into oblivion.

WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT THIS STUFF?

It would probably make a good logo embellished “giveaway”

I just can’t wait for the version that manufactures the cookies, surely this is not beyond our creative genius. :)
