Cuckoo Puffs: special edition Cocoa Puffs featuring Coco instead of Sonny.
Well, if you found those anywhere, it would be at the Museum of Failure.
Rosie Ruiz pantyhose; guaranteed not to run.
Or it could feature a gorilla grabbing William Shatner’s balls.
The people at Heinz have ignored my suggestion for an ad campaign. The ads feature nasty people asking for ketchup; when asked what brand they say it doesn’t matter. Each commercial ends with the tag line, “Heinz. Because Hunts is for c*nts” (with “cunts” being bleeped out by background sounds).
Similarly, I have thought about a government program encouraging the reporting of crimes by providing informants with free access to prostitutes. The program would be called “Snitches Get Bitches.”
It saddens me when true genius goes unapprecieated.
Snerk!
Personally, I think KFC should have ran with Oswalt’s “Failure Pile in a Bowl of Sadness”.
I give points to any company that doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
I don’t think anyone has advertised nuclear weapons with the tagline “This thing is the bomb. No, really.”
In the UK these days we have incessant TV ads for gambling websites (really - it’s a rare ad break that doesn’t have at least one). Addiction problems, you might think.
Not at all, because they guide you to the website gambleaware.co.uk, and tell you: “When the fun stops, stop.”
So, as this solves the problem, I guess we’re safe to have TV ads for heroin now. Just remember, when the fun stops, stop.
