  The New Goldman Sachs [Fake Ads]

  Posted: September 22nd, 2008, 9:43am CDT by Hamilton Nolan

  Tags:  Fake Ads  

  newVideoPlayer("/laundry.flv", 506, 423,""); Goldman Sachs has never had to depend on TV advertising. It's far too populist a medium for the king of investment banks. But now that Wall Street is dead, Goldman may have to actually go after the public at large. So Gawker video maven Richard Blakeley and his comedic pal Fritz Donnelly made up this ad prototype that Goldman will likely want to steal. Pay attention, fancy financiers: this is how you sell to real people. Click to watch the future of American economic messaging.

  newVideoPlayer("/Maher_Wamu.flv", 506, 423,""); Pope-hating straight talker Bill Maher is seriously considering putting some money in failing Washington Mutual now that they're offering free blow jobs with every account.

  Denied! Anon AA Ad Artist Slams Faux-Bam Culture Jam [Fake Fake Ads]

  Posted: August 28th, 2008, 11:50am CDT by Hamilton Nolan

  Tags:  Fake Ads  

  So yesterday we posted what seemed to be a new work by the anonymous American Apparel ad spoofer—this one featuring Obama being menaced by a big dick, with the familiar slogan "The Assassination of Barack Obama" and an American Apparel logo. Then we heard that it might not be a work by the actual spoofer, which was confirmed by the spoofer's own blog, then confirmed again by Copyranter, who thinks the Obama piece is a Photoshop fake. Now the spoofer himself has sent us a statement, of sorts, saying he welcomes copycats as long as it's clear they're different copycats (and he's not a Dov Charney employee, thank you):

  Hi Hamilton,

  I am the "aa ads spoofer."

  I am not the creator of the Obama poster you posted yesterday, and don't deserve the little fame it temporarily got. I never mix art and politics, the billboards in Tribeca have never inspired me, and I don't do use the Photoshop posterization filter. I gladly welcome copycats though, as long as people don't think it's my doing.

  Also, to answer a floating question, my fake AA campaign is a personal project. American Apparel isn't behind this campaign, I don't work for them, I don't know them, and all I ever got from them is a pleasant mute tolerance...

  I picked up AA essentially because their ads were sex-oriented, which was a good place to start. This work is about inspiration in art and advertising, and manipulation, if I get it right...

  i'll be wrapping up the project in sept w/ a little showdown on stereohell.

  [Disclaimer: To the extent we were able to check around, we're pretty sure this is the real spoofer. Although you never really know when it comes to spoofers.]

  American Apparel Spoofer Embraces Equality In Genitalia [Fake Ads]

  Posted: July 21st, 2008, 11:02am CDT by Hamilton Nolan

  Tags:  Fake Ads  

  The notorious, mysterious, and sexy American Apparel ad spoofer raises so many philosophical questions: What is art? What is advertising? What is porn? And does showing blowjobs count as "sexual equality?" The spoofer has a long history of drawing female genitalia (and dildos). But now he or she has made the leap to showing penises for the cause—something Dov Charney can only dream of. Click through for the most overt (possibly NSFW, although it's just a drawing) example:

  American Apparel Spoofer Goes Retro-Porny [Fake Ads]

  Posted: June 30th, 2008, 1:06pm CDT by Hamilton Nolan

  Tags:  Fake Ads  

  The now-famous but still anonymous American Apparel ad spoofer has always done his or her part to portray the hipster robot clothing company's ads as they are in CEO Dov Charney's mind: tasteful porn. The spoofer knows that the mandate to actually put clothes in his ads is just a necessary evil to Dov; he'd rather just see naked, self-stimulating, shaven women writhing around in space—perhaps accompanied by a cute animal. But now the spoofer is urging a return to the unshaven days of yore; a move that fits in with AA's faux-natural branding quite nicely. Clever viral marketing (doubtful)? Or just an unspoken call for variety in AA's secret full-on nude ads, to be unveiled as soon as society is ready for them? After the jump, full photos of the spoofer's latest porny—yet natural—line drawings:
