Oy, talk about ad-damaged, when adlist erupts in giggles over the 15 Unfortunately Placed Ads [1] which our resident copywriting shutterbug Alec Long [2] sent in I said something about having seen one of those ads before (gosh, that's so unlike me) - but I meant the funny ad-pairing itself.
But wouldntcha know it, adlister Peter dug into the adlist archives many years back and the ad couple I was talking about, a naughtily placed carrot-poster, had actually been done with a different set of ads before. Peter thinks it seems a bit odd that this unfortunate pairing happened more than once, did someone see the first one and think "this is a great way to get their ads noticed/mailed around?" Or is it simply photoshop joking around? Who knows! All I know is that this is a first for Badland, badlanded ad placement. Weird!
Now I can't decide if saving years of old adlist emails and recalling threads so well is totally creepy or freaking awesome. My favorite on the 15 Unfortunately Placed Ads [3] page is the yahoo-404, that had me in tears.
