The Stadium Pal - Real Sports Fans Pee in Their Pants

Have you ever been at a sporting event and found it so riveting that no matter how urgently you needed to urinate, you couldn't tear yourself away, resulting in the embarrassment of peeing your pants? Is finding a bathroom such a hassle that you'd rather evacuate your bladder into your basketball shorts? Then the Stadium Pal is something you should not be without.

Yes, you can literally pee in your pants while still enjoying all the action of your favorite sport! Using proprietary external catheter technology, the Stadium Pal collects urine and deposits it into a 1000ml reservoir attached to your inner calf, allowing you to slosh about all day with a bag of pee strapped to your leg:
But it's not just for sports; you can pee your pants on long motorcycle rides, at Mardi Gras, NASCAR (not a sport), even on fishing trips. You can pee your pant practically anywhere. I'm peeing right now! Thanks Stadium Pal!

Roaches and Ants Used For Wallpaper, Rug Design


The top three images are pieces of advertisement using roaches as decor.  First cockroaches on the rug, then tile, then wallpaper.  This is an advertising strategy by "Ridsect, the Roach Trap."  It is a genius idea, though I do not think it will work for all demographics.  The last two items are ants as an ant'tique wallpaper design.  This is beautiful and clever design at its finest.  It was done by Gampuls Fratesi (image for link).  I would like to see this hit main stream, I want ants for wallpaper.

An Original Ad Concept by Microsoft

It's no secret that Macintosh products have been moving front and center of the computing landscape: They're hip! They're trendy! They don't get viruses! They increase your social capital! And they have an admittedly effective "I'm a Mac" ads that have been plaguing Microsoft since they began airing:



Oh, wait. Macs only have a 21% market share. That means that a vast majority of the remaining 79% of the market is Windows (or Unix)-based. Is Microsoft really hurting so bad that they need to hire Jerry Seinfeld for a barely-intelligible and quickly-canceled ad campaign? To mitigate this failure to capture 110% of the computing market, Microsoft has created a new and very original series of ads:





"The TV campaign, called 'Pride', shows people from all walks of life who all state 'I'm a PC'." (Guardian UK)

Finally, the closeted PC users of the world can proudly say that they are PCs. We are not concerned with being 'uncool' or wearing corrective optics! Sure, we might be a humble fish monger (0:59 on the first ad), but we will no longer abide the derision from you Mac users. You with your cool haircuts and your elitist soy lattes and your sleeve tattoos and your pure-as-undriven-snow colored laptops. There are literally dozens of us PC users. Dozens! We will not be silent. We will not be afraid.

UPDATES WAS YES!: The Seinfeld/Gates ads are, apparently, not canceled.
