Lousy ass ad for The Pitch

The Pitch is the AMC reality show where two ad agencies compete by creating ad campaigns. The first two episodes were surprisingly realistic.

This is the ad AMC created to promote the show.I think it's crap.

Lisa Rinna wears Depends on the red carpet

In this spot for Depends adult diapers, Lisa Rinna tries on a pair and wears them under her gown as she preens on the red carpet with her husband Harry Hamlin, demonstrating how undetectable Depends are under clothing.

The spot is well-written, well-cast, well-acted. It's perfect in every way.

Kudos to Lisa Rinna and Ogilvy & Mather, New York.

Here is the ad that's part of the campaign.

Really like this ad (please, forgive me, fellow Liberals)

I support gun control and do not believe that carrying a concealed weapon is a fundamental right.

That said, from an advertising/marketing point of view only, I really like this ad from the U.S. Concealed Carry Association.

No doubt Tom Ford thought a man biting a woman's shin would look sexy.
