Worst Book Cover Design Ever

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Especially since we’re talking about a kids book here.

I found this book years ago. I saw it from about 50 feet away, and had to do a double-take – I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I figured it would probably be pulled off the shelves as soon as anyone actually looked at the cover, so I just had to own a copy.

I was just going through some boxes and came across it again. I thought I’d snap a pic and share it with you fine folks. So here you go, the (possibly non-worksafe) M&M’s Counting Book.

Oh, dear.

3

Ha. I think someone in the M&M’s boardroom has a sense of humour.

4

There’s two guys in an art department somewhere who can believe they got away with it. “You gonna tell 'em?” “I’m not gonna tell 'em – you tell 'em.”

5

Ha! I bet if the first M&M had been yellow instead of blue, it wouldn’t have caught your eye!

6

True… but it should have been blood red.

7

Hmm, my niece and nephew gave a copy of that book to my SO for Christmas a couple of years go.

8

My husband says there are no accidents like this in comics or advertising or whatever. There is, however, plausible deniability. :?D

9

Oh look, my biggrin has a mustache. How cute.

10

Don’t worry, Moms…

It melts in your vagina, not in your hands.

11

A classic piece. Of commercial art. Like the Land O’ Lakes lady.

12

Nah. Pink.

13

Can someone tell me what I’m missing? :confused:

14

Read just the letters.

15

This might help.

16

With scratch and sniff that smells like fish.

17

Suddenly, I want a mouthful of M&Ms…

18

Then shouldn’t you change your name to
you guessed it…
Horny-Toad?

19

The link’s not working for me. Is the pic down already?

20

YES!!! I used to do this as a kid and tried to explain it to friend a few weeks ago and couldn’t remmeber how to do it!!

She thought I was nuts- validation!!!
Oh, my kids have that book and never did I read it, um, that way…
