We live in a world so extreme that, err… uh, different commercials for different.. planets I guess. It’s been a while since we’ve visited the car-as-skateboard theme, nay, archetype. Nope? Too soon. OK. – Thanks to… I can’t remember. I ‘ve been out of the loop for a while. Hit me up and I’ll add it.

Céline is French company that makes handbags, pants that look like they came from a 70’s time capsule and other accessories. Nothing says ‘fashion” like an androgynous topless girl and a skateboard. At least she’s healthier than the last model. We are the goon squad and we’re coming to town. Beep Beep! [Source: Fashion Gone Rogue and Piecesofme.]

“There are times when you need car insurance.” And then there are times when you need to get some new blood in your marketing department, Clal Insurance in Israel does. – Thanks to Seth Levy for the tip.

Random window decoration s in Rotterdam. From what I gather, the store sells old ipods to martial artists and skateboarders. – Thanks to Tom Miller for the pic.

Got to hand it to the suits at Circuit City, hey, they’re still in business because they’re still sending out emails. Every Circuit City in my town seems to have shut down. The ones that are left are milking it as much as possible. The guy in this ad was used in a different shot in a campaign almost a year ago. – Thanks to Chip Jones for the tip.

So there’s a trend starting where ad agencies are using skateboards as props in living room shots. Garages, bedrooms and cars, sure but on the carpet next to the couch? This is a poster ad for SAP I spotted in the Atlanta airport, notice the skateboard next to the feet of what looks like a feral wolf-child lying on the carpeting. There’s another commercial for milk that I haven’t posted yet. It features Susan Sarandon tidying up a living room by removing the skateboard from next to the hearth.

This is a recent advert for Stumptown Coffee that appeared in the Portland Mercury. It’s not the first skateboard themed ad they’ve run. I chopped out some negative space in this to make it take up less vertical space here. My apologies to the artist Tim Root. – Thanks to MC for the tip.

K Mart (Kmart? K-Mart??) has revised their logo again. It’s not visible here, but on the web site. In grade school I had a wicked pair of red nylon running shoes that were the Kmart brand know as Trax, but otherwise… almost every Kmart I’ve been in this millennium seems like it’s two weeks away from going out of business. Mrs Kilwag spotted this sign in a Kmart recently. I’m not sure why you’d have put a skateboard on layaway, especially one you’d buy at Kmart.

Apple has some HTML 5/CSS3 demos online as their way of justifying blowing off Flash promoting Web Standards compliance in their devices like the iPad and iPhone. The typography section features a rad Bryce Kanights photo of Tony Farmer.

Oh hey kids, time to make your room reflect your Extreme!™ lifestyle. Your parents don’t understand you, but they want to pretend they do, so grab their credit card and head on over to, uhmm, the laptop in your bedroom and buy some of this stuff for your crib. It’s tight! – Thanks to John Egertson for the 411… Yo!
