Why Ads From the Apocalypse™?

Because nothing—nothing—is safe from commodification. These tongue-in-cheek “ads” remind us how branding can infiltrate even the gravest situations, turning existential dread into another profit stream. As absurd as they may seem, they’re only a half-step away from reality. (Looking at you, influencer apocalypse merch.)

So, strap in, grab your branded gas mask, and keep refreshing the page. The world might end, but the hustle never does.
