Friday Find – 40 hilarious ad placement fails

Advertising. We’re bombarded by it everywhere. On the tube, in the papers, on TV – heck, you can’t even go for a leisurely stroll in the park without seeing some crappy add on a bin trying to sell you the latest banana and elderberry Tic Tac flavour… As tedious as it all is, you do occasionally come across some gems – formerly mundane, unoriginal pieces of advertising twoddle brought to life by another ad or headline close by.
