Lame & Taylor


Normally, I'd be impressed with anyone in the fashion world who tried to have a concept in their advertising. Most don't even bother.

But this series for department chain Lord & Taylor is sad, mostly because the line "Oh My Lord & Taylor" sounds like something created by a first-year copywriter.

Still, if they had taken an outrageous photo
(think Diesel) to go with it, they might have something.

But they didn't. And they don't.

New ads for USAA look awfully familiar...






The Economist has been running short, bold, brilliant statements for years. Smart ads that capture the capitalist spirit of the magazine.

Looks like someone has a case of Economist envy.

A classic case of "too clever by half."
