Another Excuse Not To Exercise
Please, jog my memory on why anyone willingly owns and/or endures the torture of a treadmill? Automated exercise is an automatic gamble with serious injury. Are the odds in your favor?
Funny or Scary? Sloppy Eating
First, there was the milk mustache. Then Carl's Jr. captured filthy eating on camera with their series of "If it doesn't get all over the place, It doesn't belong in your face" ads. And Domino's recently released a new commercial featuring the Oreo Dessert Pizza beard.

Shameless Old-School Cigarette Advertising
They weren't aware of the dangerous and deadly consequences of cigarette smoking back in the day. As some of these ads suggest, it was the "cool" thing to do; even doctors endorsed certain brands of cigs! And so, without reluctance, advertisers did what they do best.
Sexy Subliminal Advertising
If you ask me, the beach sells itself-- but this works too. I like to think of it as the more mature (read: dirrty) version of "Where's Waldo?" That is, can you spot the indiscretions?
Say What? Sarah Haskins Rages Against the Machine
“As the Internet and TV and movies all become one scary machine in your living room, it’s important that we all have some level of media literacy."

Did You See the Insane Advertising During Gossip Girl?
An unnerving new trend in advertising is to bypass the commercial breaks and promote an upcoming TV show while another show is in progress. Miniature versions of the other show's characters walk into view and perform unnecessary antics while the show you intended to watch is up and running. Frankly, it's rude.

I understand how a grammatical error can sneak into place, but when that error is displayed in the largest size font used in the ad — there's a problem. "Eat kids free"? Mmmm.
eBay Find: "Tattoo Your Advertisment on My Neck"
Someone must be hard up for cash. The dude above put his neck up for sale as advertising space. The highest bidding company or individual would win the unique privilege of having their logo, name, or design tattooed on the seller, but the bidding term ended and no one made the minimum $2000 starting bid.
