“I was at the beach all weekend complaining about the tourists making parking impossible.  Meanwhile, the men and women of our armed forces were doing their best to avoid death while simultaneously trying to kill people they’ll never know.  Thanks for serving.” [via The High Definite]

Advertising can be creative and even purposely funny. But sometimes, an ad on a bad place can have unexpected results. Here are two of my favorites from Oddee.com’s list of 15 Unfortunately Placed Ads.

My buddy Lou is a great photographer and when he tips me off on a hot new site, chances are it’s pretty damn good. Case in point, photographer Casia Bromberg who is featured on the cool new blog site Boooooom.

On August 19th, Holiday Matinee turns 10. We’re supposed to blow out candles, pat ourselves on the back and buy a foosball table. But that seems selfish. So we decided to think bigger. It’s our birthday and nothing would make us happier than giving back. So we’re celebrating with the third installment of Cause For Drinks. The W Hotel’s rooftop Beach will be the spot August 19th from 5-9PM. And if Holiday Matinee’s 10-year anniversary isn’t cause enough for drinks, we found one that is. We’ll be celebrating our philanthropic nature with Friends of TOMS, a non-profit on a mission to prevent a debilitating disease called Podoconosis. Friends of TOMS is extinguishing this disease by giving a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair that is purchased. Food and drinks will be offered at discounted pricing and we’ll be giving Friends of TOMS 25% of sales from the entire event. We take care of you. You take care of the kids. Yeah, it sure does feel good to turn 10. Please RSVP here for entry.

It’s the feelgood purchase of summer and one I have no shame in spending 54 bucks on. I’ve been craving a pair of TOMS for ages but just couldn’t agree on a style or colorway. That is until now. “Poe” is where this adventure starts and I have a feeling it’ll be the first of many. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair you purchase. That’s some awesomeness I can get behind.
