'Till Death Do Us Part', A Couple's Engagement Photos Emulate Friday The 13th.




Van Lawson and her fiance Josh Morden, both from Parry Sound, Ontario, have a great sense of humor - albeit a sick one. For their engagement, instead of posing for clichéed, gooey-eyed, cheesy photos, they posed for a series of 26 photos taken by professional Toronto photographer Brandon Michael Gray, that emulate a Friday the 13th horror film. Van even painted the Crystal Lake sign herself.

Here are all 26 photos, in order, of course:




























Now, theirs is one wedding I'd like to attend.

Cheetos Lets You TP Any House For Halloween - Digitally.



A classic Halloween prank is to TP  (toilet paper) the front yard of unsuspecting victims. But with today's on-edge society, you may get shot. That said, here's a safe and fun alternative for you, created by ad agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners. Cheetos' interactive "Chester's Project TP" uses Google street view to help you target your victims. Simply put in an address and watch the fun unfold.

Chester, the Cheetos Brand icon and spokeman (spokesanimal?), flies around in a helicopter spouting some funny-over-the top copy as Google maps locates the address you chose. Once you confirm the 'target' of your cyber-hijinx, bombs away...  and the chosen location is digitally tee-peed. You can then share it via all the usual social media channels or as an email.

To show you how it works, I engaged with it and then took screen grabs of each step for you:










Fun branding idea to remind you that snack food out there amongst all the candy during this time of year. Now, it's your turn.

Disgustingly Cute. No, Wait.. I Mean Disgusting AND Cute. Halloween Treats Gone Wrong.




There's nothing like seeing little kids in costumes. Cute. There's nothing like seeing little kids spit out food and throw up. Gross. And in this "Halloween" commercial for Crest & Oral B, you get both. Effectively.

Directed by J.J. Adler and dreamt up by ad agency Publicis Kaplan Thaler, a panel of unsuspecting trick or treaters are tricked rather than treated when offered 'healthy' Halloween treats.

See what ensues:


The reactions are priceless:


Long Live Candy!

Miley Mocks Herself (And The Government). See The Whole Funny SNL Music Video.





In case you missed it - whether on purpose or by accident, Miley Cyrus' hosting gig on SNL certainly had its moments, the best of which was when Miley and the cast parodied her own song, "We Can't Stop" by giving it a political twist.



Cyrus dressed as Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann with Taran Killam as House Speaker John Boehner suggestively danced and vamped to the new lyrics, which presented a raunchy Republican celebration of the government shutdown.



The full video:


"Cause we came to shut it all down now, no government around now, if you're not ready for healthcare, can I get a 'hell no,'" Cyrus sang while dressed as Bachmann, spanking Uncle Sam, licking Killam as Boehner, and holding and licking an Abraham Lincoln doll. "Government workers on a furlough, even though you're already paid low ... everyone in line for early child care, anyone who planned to see a grizzly bear, we are so shut down yeah."

Some of the best moments:
