It has taken me almost a month to bring back the Friday Folly … but here is the first for 2008. This one is from the ever vigilant Stanley Johnson. As Stan says, "What I don’t know is who comes up with ads like this. And why". Good question.
I love a good "Chinglish" story, but this one surprised even me.
Is this what we call media placement? Who is responsible? This week’s Friday Folly comes courtesy of Meg Tsiamis. Got one to share? Is it yours? I would love to see it!
We all love Fridays … they mark the end of things — the end of the working week, the end of a project and so on. Beyond Friday is a new world … a luxurious place of martinis, beaches, picnics and warm winter fires. And in the spirit of preparation (for the end/the beginning), I am launching the "Friday Folly". Here, each Friday, I will seek to share one piece of advertising/marketing gone wrong (even if is it slightly wrong).
If you have something I should know about please let me know. But, in the meantime, enjoy this gem courtesy of Amelia Torode. What’s so wrong I hear you say? Look closely.
