Regrettable Ads


It's hard to imagine the process of this ad from concept to approval without anyone raising an eyebrow, no?

Edit: reading the fine print, the text is fake. But...they still took that photo. I hope it's not just my sick mind that thinks it's a little weird.

Also, Greyhound has pulled an ad campaign featuring this slogan: "There's a reason you've never heard of 'bus rage."' I guess it seemed dated.

Google Image search (for "breyers lickable") was able to find a larger copy where I could read the text (I just had to know what it said). Go ahead and read it; it makes the picture even more wrong:

Ok, now I've read the fine print. It's obviously a hoax.

Looks to me like the product boxes were shopped into the image, but that still doesn't explain why anyone would take that picture of those girls.
