Oh, you precocious advertising companies -- always trying to push the limit with your racy print ads and TV spots. The latest blow-up over some scandalous marketing gone awry surrounds a fake ad for JC Penney. A production company called Epoch Films created a fictitious TV commercial (above), which features two teenagers putting their clothes on as fast as they can. You find out later that they've been practicing getting dressed quickly so as not to get caught having sex in the house. Saucy!

Thursdays in Park Slope, Brooklyn:

Over the summer, Ai Ai Gasa (translates from Japanese as ""two loves under one umbrella") is running weekly events and sales on local designers like Feral Childe, Box 185 and Sumie Tachibana. From 7 to 9pm, stop by for drinks, food items and discounts.

Then the store goes mobile for two months across the US with a SVO mini bus, bringing their house brand of recycled umbrella clothing and jewelry, silk-screened tees and art, plus choice pieces from local designers.

Check the store's website for August/September dates to be announced. Some cities definitely on the tour: Richmond, Madison, Missoula, Eugene, Portland, Seattle, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Memphis and New Orleans.

Ai Ai Gasa, 274 5th Avenue, between 1st and Garfield (through June 28th).

Perhaps you've received one after making a purchase at Banana Republic. That extra receipt with a url and the promise of 20% off your next purchase for answering a few questions about your visit to the store. Gap does them, too, as part of the same corporate monster.

The survey takes a good five to ten minutes, and you have to actually think about the service you received. But you get a discount code good for one full price item which must be used within three months.

Too bad it doesn't come with an alarm, or glowing red light to remind you to a) bring it with you when you go shopping or b) pull it out of your wallet where it's been folded for two months and 28 days. After all, the discount is only worthwhile if you use it!

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

If we had to pick one store that we couldn't live without it would most likely be Target. Sure, other stores sell fancier things and have more ambiance, but from the minute we buy our customary bag of popcorn and Icee for ONE DOLLAR, we're in and we're hooked. They have everything in there. Seriously, we looked.

Hmmm. Put this in my mouth you say? We got sent these free samples from Dentaburst. What? A tooth-brushing alternative? I gave the mint flavor a whirl and recorded the experience with my handy MacBook Photo Booth.

Anya Hindmarch's Men and women alike can be sustainably stylish. Here are the must-haves:

1. The reusable bag. It doesn't have to be Anya Hindmarch's bag you see at right (which we've all seen about enough of, frankly), but re-usable bags are eco-friendly and can say a lot about you. You read? Get one at a bookstore. In fact, you probably already have one. They're called tote bags. Use them when you go to the farmer's market (or the drug store) and feel good about yourself.
