While Supplies Last

Apr 25 2011 Published by Mickey Stiletto under ad, awesome, big in japan, cheap, economics, it's hot, meme, trend

You have a business, a brand, a message. You want to get this message out there to as many people as possible. And I have a very hairy chest.

Wait. What?! How do those two things go together? Let me tell you!

It is hard to successfully market a product these days. A generation of kids who don’t even notice side bar ads. People are complacent to buses painted in a gigantic advertising ploy. You need to be fresh and original and have people say “holy fuck” in order to get your message out there. With beach season upon us, what better way to do that then with your logo shaved into my chest hair?

It seems kooky, right? But what is going to make more sheeple think about Big Macs? An old and tired billboard effort or some goofball parading up and down in front of all the beautiful beach people with the Golden Arches shaved into his chest hair?

“Honey, is that… is that a guy with the McDonald’s logo shaved into his chest hair?”

“WTF?! It is!”

“Well isn’t that a strange site. Maybe we’re both high. That would explain it. I don’t remember smoking pot this morning. But now I have the munchies and a dollar. Doesn’t McDonald’s have a dollar menu?”

BAM!! Instant sales!

Sure, this seems like a marketing campaign fashioned for Nair, but I believe it can work for any company. Act now, and I can do this one time and one time only for just YOUR COMPANY!

That’s right. For the largest amount of money I will be loyal to your company. Add a little more to that pile of bullions and I will video tape it and turn it viral for you. I can be your Isaiah Mustafa (sans beauty and cut torso)!

When the viral video works out, you have your very own Can You Hear Me Now Guy and we can tour the country, we can make commercials, we can even do a sex tape. All with your logo cut into my chest hair.

Hell, I am so desperate for money at this point, I would even become the Apple Chest Hair Goofball. So, Steve Jobs, when you decide to get over that whole “sleek and sexy” product look, you contact me. Because this shit could be magical.

Where The Hell Have I Been?

Feb 03 2011 Published by Mickey Stiletto under awesome, Fail, geek, meh, mickey, time, twitter, writing

I had 2 posts in January. 2!! This is unacceptable. And will not be permitted any longer. So hence forth I promise two posts a week to enlighten, enrage, whatever. Just as long as something is going up on this damn web space that I pay for.

So where have I been? Working. Planning a move to Boston. And working on some art and side projects. But I shall resume focus on my site. Because I really dropped the damn ball after Absurd Puddle was kind enough to call me out and I apparently decided that was the best time to stop writing.

I don’t have a lot in the way of new words for you (though I have a bunch stored in my brain), tonight I will just present you with a little bit of what I did in January.

My friend and I started a new side project called Art and Tacos. Essentially, every day we post a new theme or challenge. And before the next theme arrives, we have to post at least one piece of art. Best of all, we kindly accept your submissions! (Though at this time you have to be a Tumblr user to submit.) Sometimes the time limit leads to good art, sometimes it leads to rushed art. Sometimes both.

Rushed:

Assignment: Worst (K)night Ever

Funny?

Assignment: That Awkward Hamburger

Both?

Assignment: Drawn With My Wrong Hand

Aside from that, I have discovered other things. Like the fact that my new favorite art form is probably ASCII. This is my girlfriend in ASCII art:

And I’ve done random things too:

And things that are not art at all:

And my unicorn even did a self-portrait:

So, while I may not have been doing the things I should have, like writing my blog of awesome (cause we all know that it really is) I have not been unproductive. Still, I promise two posts a week from this point forward.

And yes, this does count as one. Nooch.

What I Do When I Am Bored

Jan 01 2011 Published by Mickey Stiletto under awesome, beware, facebook, friend, humor, move forward, photoshop, picture, that about sums it up

I don’t have too much time with free time, but when I do, this is what happens.

And for myself:

And, of course, ’tis the season:

A Mickey Stiletto original… (-ish. Maybe?)

UPDATE: So I posted this to reddit. It got a pretty good response. Yesterday I got orangered from ofsinope that they had made a fix.  I think it is hilarious and astute. And it felt awesome to have something I did redone and corrected by a complete stranger.

Now back to hating the world.

Awesome Toys Forever

Jul 27 2010 Published by Mickey Stiletto under awesome, comics, toys

Yes, this was for sale...

Hell, I’ll just quote the Daily What:

Collectible of the Day: Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet toy from Mattel (aka AN EMPTY BOX), which began life as an April Fools’ joke, was in hot demand at Comic-Con, where it apparently sold out (!) despite being AN EMPTY BOX.

But cry into your Anime Body Pillow not: The $5 EMPTY BOX is currently being hawked by scrupulous SDCC patrons via eBay for several times its original MSRP (which should be $0, because it’s an EMPTY BOX).

[moth / ohgizmo!]

UPDATE: To those saying that the box actually contains a clear plastic jet, what you’re seeing is just packaging. THERE IS NOTHING INSIDE. Although, considering $5 a good deal for a clear plastic jet is still something worth evaluating your priorities over.

UPDATE 2: Ah, who am I kidding? One empty box, please.
