The Terrifying (Inevitable) Future of Advertising

cracked.com — No man can know what the future will look like, but we're willing to go out on a limb and say that 1) there will still be advertising and 2) it will be even more annoying than it is now. Here are 30 visions of what might be in store.

  • edwartica, on 09/04/2008, -6/+104This did not happen! Fox news!
  • Fhwqhgads, on 09/04/2008, -8/+80Number 25 FTW!
  • freezerburn666, on 09/04/2008, -6/+74not our fault you almost got fired because of your boner
  • inactive, on 09/04/2008, -10/+74Because looking elsewhere would be even more gay.
  • inactive, on 09/04/2008, -0/+48I happened to like the last place (# 29) finisher the best just for the Fox News comment.
  • McGuinness, on 09/04/2008, -12/+60Uh, one of them is a little NSFW. Lets not put massive ***** barely covered up on digg during work hours, eh? Or at least warn us.
  • edwartica, on 09/04/2008, -0/+45Well, if you're a woman, why are you peeing in the urinal to begin with?
  • gbarberi, on 09/04/2008, -0/+37Number 25 was inaccurate. That's the present, not the future.
  • Takfam, on 09/04/2008, -0/+35I'm Secretary of State, brought to you by Carl's Jr.
  • gothgeek, on 09/04/2008, -0/+33"They Live" What an awesome movie!
  • slsashrk, on 09/04/2008, -1/+34After flipping through the article, I was inspired to write some obligatory Idiocracy reference... but I haven't had enough coffee to inspire me to find the perfect quote. I think I'll have another cup of coffee...

    Speaking of coffee, I recently purchased some Folgers Gourmet Coffee. This coffee does not disappoint. I primarily drink flavored coffees, either vanilla or hazelnut, and this coffee is one of the best ones I've tried. It has a great aroma while brewing, in the cup, and then it follows through in the taste. Through February Amazon is offering a coupon on this item, which then gets the price down to around $5.25 a pound; this is a great deal and a terrific way to get your morning started.
  • nsanidy, on 09/04/2008, -13/+40I almost ALWAYS disagree with the placement of cracked.com's photoshop contest entries. Some of these were just idiotic, yet made it into the top ten. Ronald McDonald saying "Let's put a smile on that face!" beside a Fox News advert stating "This never happened" is gold, yet it was dead last.

    Oh well.
  • NeoCon4Life, on 09/04/2008, -9/+35"because looking anywhere else would be even more gay" i lol'd
  • y3rt, on 09/04/2008, -0/+26Do you like money? I like money? We should hang out sometime.

    CAPTCHA
    Please type the following text to do anything: "I really love rolaids."
  • Krissam, on 09/04/2008, -5/+22Gotta love #1
  • DangQuesadilla, on 09/04/2008, -1/+17You would look at the guy next to you to avert your eyes from the gay abercrombie ads......but oops in averting your eyes you're being even gayer than if you look at the ads. So you have to look at them. That's the humor. In real life guys never look.
  • NJank, on 09/04/2008, -0/+13is it just me or was there something strangely disturbing about the appearance of that picture. (not including the text)
  • Disease, on 09/04/2008, -0/+12It's called defying nature.

    Would you like to try our EXTRA BIGASS TACO!?
  • Boarhead, on 09/04/2008, -0/+11I like 16 for some reason but I cant put my finger on them..I mean it...
  • inactive, on 09/04/2008, -0/+11If by "disturbed" you mean wanting to have sex with the girl in the picture, than yes I was very "disturbed".
  • zerohelix, on 09/04/2008, -4/+15***** Abercrombie & Fitch
  • inactive, on 09/04/2008, -1/+12Nice, seems giving away products free is becoming the norm. We just have to watch advertising first. Works for me.
  • Synn, on 09/04/2008, -0/+11Really? You're going to cry over a 1 minute difference?
  • oldhick, on 09/04/2008, -0/+10I saw it as more of an homage or tribute to They Live.
  • JoeF8577, on 09/04/2008, -0/+10how the ***** can 8 people digg down boobies?!?!
  • bieber, on 09/04/2008, -0/+10It's Cracked.com, man. You've just gotta assume a high probability of boobs before you click the link...
  • edwartica, on 09/04/2008, -1/+11I dugg this one because the digg button on crack brought me here,.
  • StrangeFamous, on 09/04/2008, -0/+9It's a reference to John Carpenter's "They Live".
  • inactive, on 09/04/2008, -0/+9I could see #7 happening next week.
  • captmorgan555, on 09/04/2008, -0/+9brought to you by Carl's Jr.

  • lawrenceboland, on 09/04/2008, -10/+19dude... #16 ftw, what are you talking about?
  • Disease, on 09/04/2008, -1/+9You women don't know what it's like peeing in a urinal with your private stalls. Eyes wonder and light rays bounce.
  • grumpychris, on 09/04/2008, -0/+8Through the glasses, you're seeing what's behind the ads, the hidden message.
  • gbarberi, on 09/04/2008, -0/+78 is the total number of females on Digg.
  • edwartica, on 09/04/2008, -0/+7You haven't been to the movies in a while if this is the first time you've seen this.
  • koolmoecraig, on 09/04/2008, -0/+7Realistically, how soon til football and baseball players uniforms look like Nascar drivers? Has to be coming soon.
  • jgauder, on 09/04/2008, -1/+8#25 - They Live - "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and I am all out of bubble gum!"
  • edwartica, on 09/04/2008, -0/+6Hey, my boss encourages me to surf digg!
  • Awspire, on 09/04/2008, -0/+6The riot shields should have advertisements for Bail Bonds, Criminal/Civil Rights Lawyers, and Plastic Surgeons. Though, they may not want the Civil Rights lawyers to advertise.
  • Takfam, on 09/04/2008, -0/+6Yes it is. There's a big difference between a picture of huge pair of ***** and the mix of current events, rabid Ron Paul support and constant whining about the inequities of the world that makes up Digg.
  • edwartica, on 09/04/2008, -0/+5but your comment sucked harder.
  • EmberToInferno, on 09/04/2008, -0/+5Hmm, free breast implants? Being a guy I wasn't really thinking about getting any, but if they're free how can I lose?
  • JoeF8577, on 09/04/2008, -0/+5the fresh maker?
  • slapded, on 09/04/2008, -0/+5when e-ink comes around its going to be a crazy time.
