Are you Bot or Not? Sveda Vodka's creepy new create-your-own robot site.

Stumbled across this new viral site today for Sveda vodka, which had been previously promoting it's Vodka with a highly-sexualized female robot...now, you can make yourself one!

http://www.areyoubotornot.com

Well, you can make a male version...but I went with the sexy female version in the french maid costume. I think black leather with some ruffles looks good on me, right?

These types of sites have become very popular over the years, from R/GA's extensive but short-lived Verizon Action Hero site, to the amazingly popular "Elf yourself" that pops up every holiday season.

Top Baffling Commercial Lies

Well, it's not the most hard-hitting news piece to come across the internet, but I found this rather amusing and quite truthful.  We are bombarded by commercials and advertisements every day, and many times, we take what we see and hear with a truthfulness that we wouldn't apply anywhere else. But we really, REALLY should be questioning our commercials more.

A recent post on Cracked.com takes the top 6 "accepted truths from commercials" and breaks them down in quite a humorous way...here's the 6 with my little thoughts:

6. Only Women Eat Yogurt
No men were available for these commercials? Or does yogurt really not effect us?


5. One Car on the Road Per Night:
Is there really only one, amazing high-end car driving around at night, showing off it's sleek aerodynamic styling and anti-lock brakes?



4. Dog and Cat Food Is Delicious:
After watching many commercials, I have a hard time not being tempted to grab some Fancy Feast and a tall drink, and dig into that tasty cat food!



3. Cosmetics and Candy Are the Same:
Both look good enough to eat, right?


2. Your Feet Are Haunted
How many commercials do we need with feet that catch on fire, smoke, look green, or just evoke general disgust from the rest of society?


1. Your Body Is Filled With Windshield Wiper Fluid:
From diapers to tampons, why is the "liquid" always light blue?
