Ads are everywhere, from billboards to magazine pages. They fill our faces with food, fashion and fun ideas. But ad placement can be as critical as the design of the ads themselves, which these pictures go to show.

Have a laugh or two and skim through these ironically located top 10 marketing tools.

LOL, love that "Come a little closer" ad from the funeral services. Brilliantly distasteful :)
