Symbiotic Marketing

In the diabetic section. No I'm not kidding - it was 2 feet from the shelf and held a variety of chocolate bars.

Trailer Park

From the makers of Homies - the white trash collection. And who said stereotyping was only funny when it came to minorities?

Japanese Beer Ad

Asahi beer brings us this cute table standie: "Wasabi or Asahi?"

OS not found

A friend sent me this one of an arcade game.

Halloween

Despite how the picture came out, these suckers were _orange_. Think carrot orange.

Coexist

Interesting bumber sticker. Funny? Not really. But all religions are and endless source of entertainment. So there is that.

I'd beat you with a vegetable for a Guinness

Another bar restroom gem. Is that a crab, a lobster, a salmon, and a zucchini? I'm not sure how this classic ad was supposed to relate to Guinness, but there you have it. Perhaps it is the grandfather to today's "WTF?" advertising - ala Vonage.

How to choose a sign company

Perhaps they should tidy up the business they bought before they offer their services to others. This reminds me of another sign shop I saw years ago whose gold leaf signage on their shop window was extensively peeling off. Business marketing is a font of humor - like the handy-man truck I passed a while back that was vinyled with his motto "No job to small or to big". I'll cut that guy a break because Word's spell check doesn't catch the grammar misuse. A friend also mentioned that some late-night show recently featured an ad by a county coroner candidate who misspelled it "corner" _eight_ times.

Let them eat bagels!

Ah the grocery store... a wonderful place to admire our bounty and to be amused. Here is an appliance that would make Marie Antoinette proud... but oddly, it is made in the USA!

Smile - you are loved...

As it turns out, god may love you, but Burton Snowboard loves you more. Found in a bar bathroom - home of all words of wisdom.

The world's _only_ corn palace

The only "Corn Palace" in the world? How shocking! You would think Russia would have made one just to keep up with us in the Cold War... Thank you U-Haul for exposing me to the wonders of the world. I have yet to see the truck featuring the world's largest string ball.
