Poorly Placed Advertising - American Ad Bloopers (GALLERY)
American Ad Bloopers

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. If put in the wrong context, these ads just don’t “flow,” at least not the way their promoters would expect them to. This article should be a warning to ad execs everywhere: think before you place.

Some unfortunately-located ads are hilarious, some are scary, and some are just plain sad.

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 :)
