    I just saw the latest commercial for Viagra "Viva Viagra" I wonder whose bright idea it was to use a song(Viva Las Vegas) so closely associated with someone(Elvis) who died of a PILL overdose. Yeah, it makes me want to take that one.

    Another advertising snafu. The publisher for the trade magazine used the acronym of the magazine name in big letters(STD Magazine) with the picture of a prominent person in the industry on the cover. I can only imagine his sex llife suffered severely.


    One more. Someone decided to paint a road scene from the perspective of bieing on the road on the back of their busses. Wonder how this increased the number of rear-ended busses.

    Anyone else got one?

    LOL!

    I kid you not, here in Korea, I have seen a coffee shop with a HUGE sign for the place. It read " Coffee & Snake" Yum! there's nothing like a plate of rattle snake with a coffee in the morning! The sign maker obviously made an error, but u think they would have had it proofed before slapping it up for 25,000,000 to pass by everyday downtown Seoul.
