Since advertising is pushing it’s way in to more and more places, lets think up some of the worst places to put them.
So the Catholic Church can make up for some of those lawsuit settlements they could offer sponsorship rights for the Stations of the Cross.
Jesus is Condemned to Die - Brought to you by the American Trial Lawyers Association.
Jesus Falls for the Third Time - Brought to you by Medic Alert I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.
Jesus Rises from the Grave - Brought to you by Viagra.
Worst place I can think of to encounter advertising:
In your dreams.
I guess having the “I’m naked in public” dream could only be made worse if it were brought to you by Old Navy.
True story: I was recently accused of using a thread in the BBQ Pit to promote my artwork. My heartfelt reply was, “I cannot think of a stupider place to promote one’s commercial endeavers.”
“This funeral proudly sponsored by Puffs Plus” – inside the casket lid.
I’m picturing a “mentos” ad on the inside of the lid at an open-casket funeral…
Or maybe a condom with "hungry yet? near the base and a fast-food logo near the top…
How about an audio ad every time you start your car? “GEICO!! Start saving today!”
Or diapers with advertisements? “Is your baby a Gerber baby?”
Best place I can think of…on toilet paper. Then I could actually do with them what I’d like to do with every stinkin’ ad I see.
It’s already been done: “I dreamed I was sworn in as Chief Justice. In my Maidenform* Bra!”.
Coding. Sheesh.
“I dreamed I was sworn in as Chief Justice. In my Maidenform Bra!”
I predict that within a few years, we’ll see an ad in place of the Presidential Seal on the podium during the State of the Union address.
Now, whether the ad will be for Haliburton or Heinz…
Wow, the OP is pretty much exactly the idea behind a somewhat crudely drawn comic I made awhile ago in protest of my old Catholic high school’s policy of selling every square inch of space it could to coke and Channel 1 news.
The worst place for ads? How about on the bases in a baseball stadium.
I dont’ think I want to see Ruth Bader Ginsburg in just her bra.
FBG That’s what inspired this thread.
I thought maybe that’s what you were referring to, but it still really sticks in my craw.
This is not a new venue, but today I saw advertising on the public trash cans downtown for a lawyer. Seems appropriate, somehow.
“How did you hear about our firm?”
“Well, I needed a really good defense lawyer, so instead of looking in the yellow pages or consulting friends, I searched all the trash cans in town until I found you people.”
Any sort of advertising in a public restroom is just wrong.
A construction company I used to work for had a machine that would do this every time you started it up. It was a Daewoo - nobody ever knew what it said to you, since it was in Korean (?) rather than Spanish or English.
Up the butt, Bob.
I’d say the implantation of ads in DNA. You have a baby and already, right out of the womb, BAM!
BUY ME PAMPERS
The worse place for ads? This makes me so mad everytime I see one: The driving billboards. Yes, their job is to pollute the world a little more with a miniature 18-wheeler type of truck, in order to bring the ad to the streets and make it mobile.
The ads on the back of toilet doors do really annoy me!
