Could Vin Diesel Interest You In Some Street Sharks

Here's Vin Diesel from a 1994 Toy Fair selling Street Sharks, it seems to be making the rounds on the interwebs this morning. Other than the way that he's dressed (and hey it's 1994, we all get it) I don't see anything embarrassing about this at all. He's selling the hell out of those Street Sharks. I'm thinking about picking some up on ebay later today. HAND SHARK!

Pin-Up these Links

The Lost Roles of Seinfeld. I can't believe we were close to getting a Jackie Chiles spin off. At least we escaped the horror of Rosie O'Donnell as Elaine.

Classic Pin Up Girls before and after. I really enjoy seeing the difference between the reference and the finished product here. Who knew so many of these pin-up models were kinda ugly.. oh you did? Well la di da Mr. smarty pants.

Comic Scans. An awesome tumbler highlighting some rad comic book advertising from the 80s and 90s. Sadly enough I remember every one of these.

Classic Spider-Man. Classic Spider-Man is kind of a dick, but in a cool way not in a emo Tobey Maguire sort of way.

Ivar Haglund; Advertising Visionary

Ivar Haglund is one of those legendary Seattle figures, like Jimi Hendrix, Bill Gates, Squatch or Jim Kim. In 1938 he established Seattle's first aquarium at Pier 54, along with a fish-and-chips stand. In 1946 Ivar established the renowned "Acres of Clams" restaurant. By 1965, when he began lofting fireworks over Elliott Bay and called it "Fourth of Jul-Ivars" he had firmly cemented his place in Seattle's history.

Now, more than 24 years after he died at age 79, Ivar Haglund apparently has managed one more fantastic stunt. Underwater billboards that date to around 1954.

The billboards were made of stainless steel and are anchored 55 to 80 feet deep to the bottom of Puget Sound with solid concrete footings. The story is that back in the 50's Ivar took a peek into the future and the future was full of submarines. He sunk these billboards into the sound where he thought submarine traffic would be the heaviest and then apparently forgot all about the project.

Thankfully a researcher working on an Ivar Haglund Biography found the plans for these long lost underwater billboards and hired a dive team to dig up... ok, I can't do it anymore...

This is obviously an advertising hoax. But who cares? It's an awesome hoax. Check out the pictures of the divers pulling these signs out of the water. You tell me that's not awesome.







Or is it a hoax? I mean that's a pretty gnarly looking sign right there. Is it possible this lovable old coot thought he was getting ahead of the competition by advertising 10 leagues under the sea? Check out the mini-documentary over at the Ivar's website, and come to your own conclusion.

Honda Civic, great for picking up hookers

Big ups to Honda for finally targeting that hooker loving family man demographic that's eluded so many other automakers.

Satan against Gay Marriage?

this is how the dead used to text message before chad at alltel hooked them up

There's just so much good stuff going on in this Parker Games ad for the infamous Ouija board. First off the thinly veiled sexual undertones about a boy making the best partner. I'm pretty sure they're implying that satan is pro premarital sex, but only the heterosexual kind. And if you need to ask your grandmother's ghost if you should go steady, maybe it's time to see other people. Hopefully not dead people. Lastly in the fine print, Parker Games claims a Ouija board makes a great Christmas present. Celebrate your saviors birth by contacting spirits and demons! why not just give your loved ones a golden calf?
