A Post for our Advertising Friends.

THE GOOD

Clearly, this was created by a professional.

Signage for a shop that does t-shirt and jewelry design. Quite nice.

It is exactly what it looks like it is.

THE BAD

Be honest. Was this created in Microsoft Word?

I have no words for a design shop that does this to their storefront. Also, I had a t-shirt made here and the designer thought I was crazy when I finally said, "Oh for crying out loud, just put it in Helvetica."

Helveti-what?

I can handle the butterfly. And the star. And even the tagline.

But the WINE GLASS?!

THE UGLY

There isn't even a sidewalk here for pedestrians -- the only people who would be able to read this. Plus, the fish vertebrae says: bar)ra)cu)da

It's like they got started making this and they just were having so much fun that they forgot to stop when they blew past the sign that said "Now entering ... UGLY."
(Also, is that a Q or an O?)

This, my friends, is a magazine cover. Yes, a magazine cover.

But wait! That's not all.

It's a magazine cover that's approx 7' x 4' printed on vinyl and hung on a bedroom wall.

THE ERROR-RIDDEN

I still have no idea what this means.

Which market? Ooooooooh, Payiess. Yes, that's the one. (On the other hand, I do enjoy the strip mall architectural homage to a Palauan bai, "men's house.")

The menu at "I 'heart' Noodles." (Noodies are delicious, by the way.)

The back of a $3.00 pirated copy of the complete first season of Mad Men, featuring lead actor "Joe Ham." Highlights include sentences like the following: "Inherit the family business of female bosses and so on, in the face, such as sharks, like the cruel struggle competition between them will also be carried out both good and bad of the entangled ........"

Captivating!

THE INEXPLICABLE

Mmmmmm. Fun Chum. Sounds delicious. And who is Piña Paul? Oh look, a short bio. How convenient. Now I know.
(p.s. Piña Paul has a lot of other pals with their own "flavorful" personalities.)

This might look like an ordinary bottle of water, but I can assure you it is not. As you can tell, it is nothing less than 100% pure O2 Oxygentech Super Water.
Because ... who needs hydrogen, anyway?

Absolutely no sad hamburglers allowed in this bank.

(And don't you wear stripes AFTER you rob the bank, not DURING the robbery?)

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE

Outside the jail there's a literal representation of: If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Unintentional hilarity: the best kind of hilarity.
