Joey the Midwife

Joey the Midwife is an advertising agency. An unbelievably cheap advertising agency. How can it offer such low rates? Simple. "Here's our secret: We have developed the use of "themes" to sell products. Why reinvent the wheel with every ad campaign? We've got a collection of themes that are PROVEN winners.... themes everyone loves. We just plug your product into a theme and PRESTO BINGO, you've got a world-class ad campaign at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the time." It's a very strange little site. I think it's the creation of cartoonist David Rees, author of Get Your War On, since a lot of the links lead back to his site. But I'm not sure why Rees created the site.

If it's just a joke site...I don't get it. It wasn't funny or profound.

Did anyone see the hidden message below the words, 'An Advertising Agency'? (hint: the text color is white)

Why are there so many of these fake web sites around? There must be a reason why people go to so much effort.

I think they are new marketing, PR and advertising grads who are building portfolios to show prospective employers or clients. The internet is an effective forum to show what you can do.

No. I hadn't seen that hidden message. Good find.

Is the # real? (I know it's longer than 7 #s, but so is 1-800-Progressive & it works.)

It certainly is a joke site by David Rees, and it is hilarious. He's got another site up now at http:\\www.onlinetimetravelpharmacy.com.

He is a genius.
