nothing? nada? zippo? All night and all day and you let this slip into obscurity. It is a sad day when you are your own thread killer. :(

OK , OK, had to go digging in my Mavica (eek) pics...
Though many aren't "Ads" but are still things that made me grin:

From a residential
community called Sonata


As seen in a Jack & the Box


An aftermarket Air/Fuel
ratio meter in a car


GM's New Grape Scented
Synthetic Gear Oil
--- but don't breathe it -->

Last but not least,
just plain silly!

(and difficut to pronounce)

Not my photograph but I always found it humourous

I would like to have taken a photograph of the advertisement "For sale - Complete set of Encyclopedia Britanica as wife knows everything"

This one is my favorite, for an attorney - I don't even know what the basic message means, and the disclaimer on the ad is funny.

Also, I submitted this for the Propaganda challenge:

Not my photo, but another local's (crabAPPL3) shot of a little shopping center about 15 miles from where I live. Cracks me up just to think about it!



Sadly, the child care center has relocated since this picture was taken, but the donuts and the guns now are neighbors to an archery store. ;o)

edit...for more funny signs, go to this site and this site

Donuts, guns & archery, it doesnt get much better than that unless of course there was a photography shop as well
