Is there a face cream this guy could try? Here’s another funny spoof of Ogilvy and Dove’s “Evolution” spot. This one, called “Slob Evolution,” is nicely made. Watch as this young lad is ravaged by too many beers, cigarettes, shots of Tesco’s vodka, takeout curries and greasy newspapers stocked with fish ’n’ chips. By the end, he would blend right in at a football match in the U.K. There’s more on the Web site: Campaign Against Real Life. Also note that the coughing-bird logo at the end of the spoof looks remarkably like the Cig Egret from one of Goodby’s California Coastal Cleanup Day campaigns. —Posted by Tim Nudd

» Hail the Mockummercial from hubbub

What a piece of garbage. So nobody wants to look at ugly people? Fine, maybe we should all become bulimics. Come on, boys, pass the cocaine and bring the crystal meth. I hope some ugly person looks at that ad, gets angry and kills a bunch of people.

C´mon Jerry. You´re what? Bush´s son?
All that angry... expecting to see people killing people forced by an ad?
Americans...

Felipe, you're Brazilian. Do you live in a country where people are constantly telling you to quit smoking, lose weight, exercize, don't eat meat, don't do this, don't do that?

If some Americans are over the edge is because people are making us that way. It's not easy liking yourself when everyone is calling you ugly! This creates anger, and it will result in violence.

Remember Columbine? Keep harassing people and people will die.

Oh John, I'm just waiting for the II Civil War. It's gonna be fun.

War is not fun. War is hell.
