I've looked at a couple ideas for adbusters, and the one thing I have decided on is that I intend to make fun of a specific athlete for a fault of theirs in the ad. For example, one idea that crossed my mind was to hone in on Miguel Cabrera's past issues with alcoholism and rehab. I could also include his success and earning of the prestigious triple crown. Perhaps I could show him waving to the fans after hearing he had won the crown, and photoshop a crown from Corona or some other company onto his head and make it look like an ad for the alcohol. I could make it appear as if his success is due to his problems with alcohol.
Sticking to the theme of making fun of athletes, I thought of taking a picture of Barry Bonds hitting the record-breaking home run, with thousands of fans cheering around him, and putting a Nike sign in the corner with the caption "Just Juice It" to play on the Nike motto and on Bond's use of performance-enhancing drugs. Another idea that sprung to mind was photoshopping a picture of a girl, any girl, looking upset or hurt over a picture of Kobe Bryant that is often used in memes, in which he is shrugging and giving a smug smile, as if to say "what can you do?" I would again place a Nike logo underneath the picture and caption it "Just Did It" to allude to Bryant's alleged rape of a woman years ago.
