Australians really like their cereal

The concept here is that cereal fans love Crunchy Nut cereal so much that they used their spoons to try to break into the outdoor display and get at the box of cereal.

Without the explanation, I didn't get it. Did you?

Not sure I should be admitting this but the spoons look kind of sperm-y to me.

Texas mom advertises her desperate desire to see her daughter made prom queen

According to Jezebel, Brandy Day's mom so wants to see her little princess become prom queen that she paid for newspaper ads, flyers, an outdoor display sign at a local taco shop and this billboard:

There's even a silhouetted image on the billboard that looks like one of those truck mudflap babes.

If my mother had done this to me when I was a teenager, I would have been so emotionally scarred I'd be roasting squirrel under a bridge right now instead of writing a blog post.

Hope Brandy's mom has money left over for the anti-bullying campaign her daughter is going to need.

Advertise on this billboard. Or else.

BMW billboard kicks Audi billboard's ass

Personally, I think Audi doomed itself as soon as it decided to run a billboard in which its competitor's name is larger than its own.
