Just when I thought advertising couldn’t go any lower.




Wow. That has to be one of the longest single page ads I have ever seen on a website. While it doesn’t have a testimonial from someone in Maryland, there are more than enough first name-last initial combos to make up for it.

ironically, the typical male targeted by the message would not be able to get through the lengthy ad without needing at least three bathroom breaks.

also, whassup with depicting santa claus in the online ad? maybe the headline should have read: ho, ho, ho—gotta go, go, go...

or, trouble with your north pole? (or should it be south pole?)

or, need to check the toys in your big, red sack?

yo, i got a million of these.

I need four breaks just to get through. And, it also makes me think of Dr Pepper:

“Wouldn’t ya wanna be a Dripper too?”

actually, it was "dribbler."

with some basketball imagery, the concept easily works for the black consumer market too.

Ha, yeah, just noticed. Still works though:

"Wouldn’t ya wanna be a Dribbler too?"

(Also perfect for the sippy cup toddler market.)
