Pamela Anderson was snapped launching the new PETA campaign to save seals in Toronto today. I love the intensity in Pammie’s face. It’s as if someone told her there would be no open bar following the photocall. More snaps after the jump!

Disney is furious at an Australian beer company using the image of Snow White in bed with the seven dwarfs,while smoking a cigarette. The Jamieson’s Raspberry Ale campaign see re-imagines the Disney classic with Snow White named Ho White–with a much bigger bust, and the dwarfs named Filthy, Smarmy and Randy to replace Sleepy, Happy and Doc.

Ho White, eh? That name is pretty cute if you ask me. I think I’ve seen that used as a screen name on Manhunt once. And I met a hooker in Atlantic City named Ho White too.

Let the lawsuit began….NOW.

The city of Toronto’s small business association issued a promotional ad spotlighting a local jerk chicken business with the caption “My neighbour jerks my chicken.” Which can be interpreted in many different ways.

Okay, maybe the headline is a tad misleading, but don’t tell me you don’t think it’s a far stretch that the former security guard/parking lot attendant/telemarketer could be behind a counter, salting some extra value fries.

The Diff’rent Strokes success story Gary Coleman is the new face–and hands–of Canadian chain New York Fries. The 41-year-old is featured on Canadian billboards and other media as part of the company’s 25-year anniversary. There’s something about his face that makes me think he’s not aging well. Do short people get to live each day twice as long to make up for their height?

Expert scowler Victoria Beckham’s new Armani Underwear ad was released, and it features the former Spice Girl underwear-clad, crawling on a ladder with an antennae sticking out of her head. And it looks as if she might be smiling? I’ve included an enlarged image, inset, for your review? Thoughts? Is. She. Smiling?

Compare this possible smile to the Armani ad that proceeded this one. At left, you see her usual everyday expression, and at right you can see symmetrical lip corners:

You know how sometimes photographers have to wave a toy or stuffed animal to get a baby to smile for the camera? Well, I think the photographer should consider waving cash and stilettos around to try to break a smile out of her for the next campaign.

Funny People reached the #1 spot at the box office, but sales came short of what Universal Pictures honchos expected.

Even with the bold-face name talent like Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, it made only $23.4 million over the weekend, coming in short of the desired $30 million goal for the Judd Apatow comedy.

The week was saturated with the cast–including director Apatow–making the late night and breakfast chat show rounds to promote the film. The flick’s promotions even included an unorthodox method–Twitter spamming fake reviews.

Sunday’s “Hotcetera” column in the NY Post suggests that many of the Twitter posts that kept Funny People at the top of Twitter’s trending topics list, were spam tactics employed by the film’s marketing team.

Universal marketers may be aggressively exploiting Twitter to try to achieve a reverse effect.

Either that, or there’s some die-hard Adam Sandler fans out there.

How to spot the spam? Easy. Someone who is a new user, has zero to few followers and keeps offering the same tweet promoting one thing, over and over again. In this case, “Funny People.”

Take a user like @johndondee89 (following 0 people, with 1 follower) who posted every 30 seconds, “Funny People review!! Adam Sandler’s best work yet!!!”

So why would a marketer bother doing this?

If you use Twitter, on the side navigation bar, the closely watched “Trending Topics” essentially shows a sampling of the national conversation on hot buttons — usually including dead celebrities or if a recent Jonas brother got married or went to the bathroom.

Mashable.com Editor-in-chief Adam Ostrow warns that Twitter should develop measures to prevent that sort of spamming exploitation, “Because otherwise whether it’s the studios or Adam Sandler’s agent doing this, it’s completely exploitable,” he told the Post.

Did anyone see Funny People? Was it worth the hoopla?

Have you seen the Subway commercials starring Jared Fogle and Michael Phelps? The last doucheface photo of Butterface I’ve seen was that damning bong photo that lost him his Frosted Flakes check. But now he’s teamed up with someone who knows a lot about eating 1200 calories a day, only when Butterball ate that much, they called him obese. I completely love this ad campaign that serves fatties and health nuts. You can be like Butterball and eat a low-fat Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki sub to maintain your doughy physique, or you can be like Butterface and eat a Meatball Marinara. I don’t know about you, but I’d take Butterface’s six inch Meatball any day. Damn.

I’d like to take this time to thank Subway’s Web site for a wonderful gallery of retarded faces:
