misadventures in marketing... this weekend i came across two advertisements that made the inner marketer in me laugh enough that i had to share.

#1 - a petsitting lawn sign set up outside my neighborhood



clearly this person should have hired a graphic designer who doesn't have pet bears. did you check out the paws on that sign? i'm sure they were going for cute dog paws or possibly even cat paws, but this makes it look like they are either a lion tamer or pet-sitter to the local high school mascot.

#2 - 'my first gym' by toys r us


anyone notice the slutty mom in this picture? it raises so many questions... is this a toy aimed at dads? perhaps she was running late and just got off her other job playing a waitress on dukes of hazard? if i buy this inflatable gym am i required to wear half tops and booty shorts?

What about those majorly phallic symbols the child is playing with? Could they be any more penis-like?
