T-Fail!

In my last post I commented on the "Sexualization of America"...

Here's one for ya!

REALLY!?! You can't try to sell a frying pan without comparing it to sex?? That is so lame. And gross. 

Makes me *not* want to purchase this product!

Not Reddi For This...

I recently came across these ads in Better Home and Gardens, I couldn't believe it! I love cute fruit, but sexy ones that are apparently into S&M?? Why is this sexy fruit with boots and a whip telling me to be naughty in a "family" magazine?

One thing that irritates me is what I call the "Sexualization of America" in which perfectly ordinary words, references or products become sexual in nature. 

What are these ads teaching kids? Or grown women for that matter?

I'm aware of whipped cream's naughty side:

{although they actually used shaving cream when they shot this}

but this is ridiculous!

Mental note: Don't buy Reddi Whip. Ugh.

Forbidden

I went with my cousin to a bridal show in 2005 when she was getting married...I kept this photog's brochure because it was SO bad!

• Strike One: Um, hello? You need new pics, we're in the future now! Styles have changed since 1991.
• Strike Two: What is up with that slogan? Forbidden passion? You're a wedding photographer!
• Strike Three: OH MY GOSH what is up with that picture?!?!? Why would you want to be photographed as though you were on the pot with your floating disembodied ghost of a husband?!?!?

Why did this person think this flyer would HELP them get business??

Greetings and Beyond

Welcome to the blog. This blog is dedicated to making fun of bad print ads and advertising in general, for whatever reason they qualify as a fail. I thought I'd start local- here's the bus I see around campus:


First and foremost, the slogan totally has a connotation of Bed Bath & Beyond.

And who on earth designed that mascot??

Why, WHY does he have both tires and legs?? Does that make any sense? NO!

Neither of these elements really makes me want to ride this bus!
