Oh the Humanity!

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 11, 2007, 7:51 PM
I saw the BEST advertisment EVER, today, on the T. It's a poster that is, well, pretty tacky, actually...and yet, it gets the message across perfectly.

Plus, it makes me laugh, every time I see it. :D

Here's a rough sketch of the poster--minus the words/details:





What's it for?

Sperm donors, of course! :rofl:

Clever! There is a similar one I think for egg donors!

Is there? Hard to imagine it being as visually effective...but I'd love to see it, nonetheless! :D

This one really cracks me up, though...it just...says it all... :D

I've actually never seen that before! It's interesting, though. Humorous, but gets the point across very clearly.

The worst thing is...I'm honestly not sure if the creators of the ad MEANT to be funny! It's hard to tell...because the rest of the poster is so poorly designed (too much text, no real flow, etc)...and even the way this was executed was on the tacky side...but it DOES get the message across--and it kind of sticks with you, whether you want it to or not! ;)

Then again, no one else on the T was giggling...so maybe I'm the only one who's that amused by it! Who knows?! :D

I do find it strangely amusing. It's rather unexpected, so, chances are, if I was to see it for the first time, I'd probably be laughing, too.

ROFLMAO.

That is good marketing I guess. So simple but really effective. :)

Yeah...as tacky as it is--as poorly designed as the rest of the poster is--it's definitely effective--totally gets the message across in seconds! :D
