Really?


First came the ads on top of the pump.
Then came the ads on top of the handle.

Ads are stinkin' everywhere these days:


Really?

I can't pump gas without an ad zip tied on the hose?

Is anyone even going to read it?

No.

It's just another crap idea that just gets in the way when you're trying to pump gas.


Hmm...

Don't get me wrong, I love Cougartown...

...so lets enjoy an ad:


Willing to bet that none of them actually posed for this pic in a group...or near a pool.


And where the heck is Grayson's right arm??

Product WIN

To demonstrate what a good product or ad is (so there's something to compare the bad stuff to), I'd like to start a feature here on Badvertising called WIN.


Drumroll please, here's the first:




Finally someone was smart enough...
...to design an ice cream container WITH a spoon in the lid!

Product WIN.

Ahh, nostalgia...


Let's take a stroll through the Vermont Country Store catalog, shall we?


There shouldn't be anything scary, just good old fashioned fun.



Wait, what? Who on earth would want a continuously chirping ornament???


Moving on...

Hey look, they sell chocolate ladybugs. Aw, how cute. Wait what's that?


 AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


Yes, that's really what you think you're seeing- a marzipan little guy with a gold coin up his bum.

Once again:

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I do not think you know the meaning of that word...



A tree removal bag for "the annual rite"? Cutting down the tree, ok. Bringing it in and decorating it, sure. But tossing out a tree is a "rite"?  I don't take pictures when I take down my tree.

"Kids, lets gather and look at the photos of us dragging the tree out to the curb year after year."

Here's a definition of "rite":
Rite: 1:A solemn or religious ceremony performed in an established or prescribed manner. 2: Any formal practice or custom.

I didn't know that taking your tree out to the curb (we throw ours in our pond for the fishies) was so important. Now I know.

Oh My...


Just in time for Halloween...



                              

                             ...a skeleton having an obgyn exam. Or giving birth. Take your pick.

Either way, it's not very modest!

What happened to its shoulders and hip bones??

Contortionist



Can you see it?

I said, can you see it?




That's right, that's not her left leg!

My mom and I both tried to recreate this pose and 1) it wasn't comfortable in the least and 2) if you are able to bend this way, you would show more shoulder/boobage through the water.

It's not physically possible to do this how it's pictured...and wouldn't you drown?

Actually it looks like she's shaving someone else's leg. Hmmm.

Oh, and I always shave outdoors in Hawaii versus my rust stained bathtub, don't you?
