Bud Man says a lot of things…

I swear there is more information on the web about the history of Duff Man than there is about Bud Man. This sticker dates back to the late 70’s or possibly early 80’s. I like that someone drew a cartoon character and then used a photostat to insert tiny photo realistic bud cans in his […]

Sleestak trademark infringement

Advertising for the Ford Fiesta disguised as street art. I wonder how little kids growing up are going to navigate through the land mines of Madison Avenue as they grow up. In a way I imagine it will roll right off their backs. Maybe it will make them more suspicious of everything. – Thanks to […]

The old standby

Here’s a pretty cool ad from Converse. It looks much better larger, on Ads of the World. Never actually seen it in a magazine. This isn’t even an add for Converse Skateboarding. Anybody that skates has probably worn Chuck Taylors at one point or another.

RealPlayer ad execs not real current

What they lack in market share, RealPlayer is willing to make up for in nostalgia by being on top of what was popular on the internet about two years ago. They’re still doing skateboarding dogs.

Steve Jobs beats Hawk, Honda doesn’t care

Steve Jobs is the most respected and admired entrepreneur amongst the teenagers in U.S. according to a survey conducted by Junior Achievement. He beat out other celebrity entrepreneurs, most notably (in our case), Tony Hawk. Don’t feel bad for Tony. The folks at Honda motors admired him enough to use him in a film talking […]

This is allegedly a billboard for Yahoo! as found on Flickr and reported by Mashable. This guy has awesome form, and uh, errr… Well there you have it. – Thanks to Tyler Knowlton for the tip.

She’s got a Secret

The Side Project has a video of the photo shoot for an advert for Secret antiperspirant for women. Before seeing the video I just assumed it was all posed photoshop work,you know, because I’m a male chauvinist pig. But, it turns out to be an actual sequence of a skater named Leticia Bufoni. The only […]

Apple hearts skateboarding and iPods

Another day, another iPod, another skateboarding video. iPod Nanos now have the ability to shoot video, among other things, and the video recording information page features skateboarding. The actual video footage shown is decent enough, with the exception of the overacting by the guys in it. It’s kind of funny, actually. Someone at the ad […]

Part of the landscape

Here’s a flyer for something called the Scion Garage Fest that features the Burnside project for an event that has nothing to do with skateboarding as near as I can tell. Burnside = Portland. CHeck out the whole flyer at the Portland Mercury. – Thanks to GN for the tip.
