The app for independent voices

Here’s another installment of advertisements from The Onion, this time from May 25, 2005.

  • RIP to Elves Palace and Affordable Futons. Plus, the “ADULT PACIFIER” tagline for Jimmy Johns.

  • The Onion on a PDA! What a weird era of mobile technology that was directionally correct but very short-lived.

  • Noir-ish cigarette ad!

  • The Onion seeking an advertising and business intern for summer 2005 (another ad seeks a sales manager for the Madison, Wis., office).

  • The underrated Daniel Craig vehicle “Layer Cake” and a Jet Li-Morgan Freeman collab I’ve never heard of.

  • The perfect ad to accompany “Savage Love,” I guess.
