Magic Salad Plate

Had enough of health fanatics hassling you into eating balanced meals? Tired of those disapproving looks you get when you're at a social event and all you eat are meat pies? Australian pie company Four 'n Twenty has a solution for you: the magic salad plate. Perfect for holding your pie, it has the salad built right into the plate. Perfect for looking at least a little health conscious while making sure no actual vegetables inadvertently touch your food. Apparently, their gambit worked: they sold 25,000 plates in the first two weeks and pie sales went up about 30%. (via Direct Daily)

Bear Market: Capitalism Rushes in to Fill a Void

Inevitably, and perhaps appropriately, capitalism has driven folks to capitalize on the Bear Stearns collapse. Most prominently, are those who are auctioning their Bear Stearns promotional items on eBay (perhaps recapturing some lost investment value?). Of course, some enterprising folk have come up with some clever faux promotional t-shirts to poke fun at the situation.

After all, not everyone is a graphic designer or tagline. Luckily, we've got an in house art department to make sure your imprinting looks great. As this photo from The Onion illustrates, picking the wrong font can send the wrong message.

Floyd Landis Awareness Bracelets

According to The Onion, Floyd Landis awareness bracelets are the latest promotional craze. The simple message, "Cheat to Win" has inspired millions who believe that in the end it is winning that matters, not antiquated notions of sportsmanship, and that performance enhancing drugs deserve a place in any athlete's training regimen alongside diet, exercise and little chocolate donuts.Floyd-Landis-bracelet.jpg
