Possibly the Funniest Holiday Ad Campaign This Year

This season, why not flip the holiday spirit on its head by treating yourself—and getting your friends and loved ones, uh, toothpicks? Check out British department store Harvey Nichols' hilarious new Christmas campaign, which is themed "Sorry, I Spent It On Myself," and comes with an accompanying line of gag gifts. For real—Harvey Nichols is actually selling a "Sorry, I Spent It On Myself" line of products this holiday. And, if you're more keen on looking out for number one while you're doing your gift shopping, this is the product range for you.

OK, I know you know this, but seriously, please do not buy your friends and loved ones rubber bands or toothpicks. Maybe socks, though. Socks are fine. Merry Christmas Squammy loves :)

Chanel's Spring 2012 Ad Campaign Shoot

Can you just imagine spending a picture-perfect day in the turquoise waters of the French Riviera, with Karl Lagerfeld snapping your photo in Chanel clothes--styled by Carine Roitfeld!? Now you don't have to, thanks to some behind-the-scenes footage that captures exactly that from the label's spring 2012 ad campaign...

The campaign (above) stars models Saskia de Brauw and Joan Smalls contorting themselves into various acrobatic poses above the waters of the Cote d'Azur and going for a swim in some of the fanciest frocks we've ever seen. So how did it all go down? Check out this chic video that will make you wish you could be whisked away from your desk, like, immediately:

Benetton’s Controversial “World Leaders Kissing” Campaign Is Actually Super Adorable

Italian clothing company Benetton just unveiled a provocative new ad campaign featuring Photoshopped pictures of various opposing world leaders kissing one another, as part of their promotion of the UNHATE campaign, a foundation committed to establishing “a new culture of tolerance.”

The ads have already sparked predictable controversy (oh Italian clothing company Benetton, will you ever stop sparking controversy???), but to our internet-schorched eyes, they really just seem harmless, entertaining, and kind of cute. Check out the 6 ads below and agree/disagree:

1. Barack Obama and China’s Hu Jintao

2. Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestine’s Mahmoud Abbas

3. Germany’s Andrea Merkel and France’s Nicolas Sarkozy

4. North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il and South Korea’s Lee Myung-bak

5. Obama and Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez

6. Pope Benedict and Egyptian Imam Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb

(This ad has since been removed by Benetton amidst controversy, which definitely won’t draw ten times more attention to it at all)

Famous Funny People Do Star Wars Stuff For A Good Cause

Well, this is nice! Zach Galifianakis, Bill Hader, Seth Rogen, Emma Stone, Ken Jeong, Aziz Ansari,  Andy Samberg, and Ed Helms are all here in one video doing funny Star Wars-related things, all in the name of charity!

What they did was make a video for a specific Stand Up 2 Cancer campaign called Use The Force For Good. You can go there and buy the tee shirt for which the proceeds will go to funding cancer research, which is a win/win for everybody!
