I constantly see really stupid ads. Ads that make me wonder how on earth did anyone get paid for that.

But today, I found what I consider the stupidest ad ever. A local bagel shop, has been spreading color flyers everywhere. The flyer looks good; it has on the front, pictures of bages, the bagel place's name, and a stamp that says "eat healthy". The back has the menu. The trick is, well, they don't have any contact information. No telephone, no address, not even a misseley email. Its like, we want you to like our product, but PLEASE don't buy it.

If you have any other incredibly stupid ads, ones you just can't help but gasp at, please share them here. :)

Without a coupon those ads are pointless anyway.

I bet they cant understand why after having given out 2 million flyers they've only had 2 sales... Hmm let me think.

I can't stand the thought of eating a Quiznos sandwich since they had those spongmonkeys (looked like rats to me) on the TV ads.

MMMM... RODENTS!

I saw a commercial for a fried chicken place (KFC?) that had chickens fighting each other. They were getting black eyes and stuff- GROSS!

(not that I'd eat that mass-produced <stuff> anyway)

There is a Hair Salon by my house that is called Hair Today. Everytime I see that I always thing Hair Today Gone Tomorrow. In Houston we have a Circut City type store called Cons. I keep thinking somebody would make bundle if they opened a stero shop nextdoor called Pros.
