ONLY $15!!!!!!

This may be one of the busiest ads I’ve seen in some time, in ESPN The Mag of all places. Almost as good as this one. (Damn if the color scheme isn’t the same.) If there’s an ad out with more badvertising techniques in one place, I haven’t found it. Repeat the offer, oh, 23 times. Mention ‘FREE’ oh, like a lot. Have the owner of the company write, oh, all the copy. And it’s ONLY $15!!! It’s regularly an $85.31 value. (You can’t really see it, but yes, in the first paragraph, it actually says .31¢. We don’t round up because that wouldn’t save you money!!!!)

I particularly like the 'stoned' smiley face at the bottom.

Hey, that looks like a good deal...

I think the stubbly (Nick, allegedly stoned) smiley face pulls the ad together. Like the rug pulled the Dude's room together.
