    Save Yourself for Marriage with Help from Purity Bear | Tim Nudd | Adfreak

    And this TV spot is not a joke. It’s for real. Wow.

    ” … a low-budget commercial advocating teen abstinence starring “Purity Bear,” a creepy little stuffed animal who appears on your shoulder whenever you’re considering throwing your life away by copulating with your high-school date. A good grudge match would be Purity Bear vs. Pedobear, the cartoon bear known around the Internet as shorthand for pedophiles, perverts, child molesters, child-porn aficionados, and the like.” MORE

  6. This Rob.

    This is Sunday.

    And it also appears to involve a large dose of vanity.

    All of those things.

    "A snob is anybody who takes a small part of you and uses it to come to a complete vision of who you are. That is snobbery. And the dominant form of snobbery that exists today is job snobbery — you encounter it within minutes at a party when you get asked that famous, iconic question of the 21st century: ‘What do you do?’ The opposite of a snob is your mother."

    "I’m trapped in the Zen Garden … can you let me out?"

    I originally posted this in the spring of 2009. I had to repost it today as I was given good reason to laugh about it again.

    Teddy Stoecklein, creative director, VIA

    Teddy got stuck while photographing our soon-to-be new home in Portland’s historic Baxter Library Building. He called me on my mobile. I let him out.

    He could have plummeted to his death trying to scale the wall.

    It was funny.

Possibly my favorite thing about winter.
It’s snowing in Portland (ME) today. A lot.
I’m not a big fan of winter. But I am a big fan of these boots.

About

My name is Rob Gould. I'm a single, urban dwelling Gen X ad geek. I'm a new media junky and an art world dabbler with a considerable appetite for news and pop culture in all forms. I like to talk. Some people like me. My personal house of urban angst currently migrates between Portland, ME & NYC but has traveled with me over the years to Boston, Burlington VT, London, San Diego, Rockland, ME & Santa Fe. Much like a Gulfstream with tasteful decor and a vast insecurity complex. You can find me on Twitter @bobbbyg. You can also find the professional (and very serious) me at www.bobbbyg.com.
