Anyone seen 'the invention of lying' film W/Ricky gervais, it's not worth watching if you haven't but basically in the beginning humans cannot say things that are not true and absolute, and the main character is the guy who develops/evolves first, with [i]hilarious[/i] 😐 consequenses...

Aaanyway, as you can imagine, this presents a problem for advertisers and marketers, so they came up with my, sadly ficticious, favourite.

Emblasoned on the side of a bus 'PEPSI. For when they don't have Coke.'

Made I larf it did....

The Betsafe adverts on Dave

"this office was paid for by Dave3256 from Manchester's looses, thanks Dave"

I always like the country manor one

"so light, so subtle ... so buy some"

though I've seen it described as the worst ad ever, too

Funny thing is... That in itself is an advert. Coke has a pretty big financial stake in Hollywood. One of the way that manifests is they make sure pepsi's brand is often seen in a bad light.

Oh, and chortling at stoner's last pic 😯

This thread reminds me of the film Crazy People with Dudley Moore.

Saw a builder's board last week, his name was 'A.Blight of Braunston' and I used to drive past an estate agents in Oz called 'Robin Daley'.
Can't say you weren't warned.

A plaster once gave me his business card which has his name, mobile number and 'Am naw bad' on it
