I have no recollection of this ad campaign, but I did come upon this interesting article today about it- http://mentalfloss.com/article/89371/bad-beef-remembering-burger-kings-infamous-wheres-herb-campaign

Also, on a Personal note, I would like to add that I have never eaten a whopper. I like(d) their cheeseburgers well enough though.



I saw this searching for print ads, and all I could think of was that Star Trek Episode with the Space Hippies.... I AM NOT HERBERT. )

This ad was in reference to this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_jogger_case

Tia and I had a healthy back and forth on this. I felt it was a fail, due to the fact that he is advocating the death penalty, and the teens convicted were found to be wrongly so later. Tia - "at the time he did that, the NYC police force was pretty depleted, they had problems (the NYPD), and the city had a lot of crime issues....he WAS viewed as a 'good guy' in that situation"

So Its a wash. I will let you all decide.

One of the most infamous church commercials ever. This played on super station WGN all the time in the late 80s. The marketing director, Jeff Hawkins, who made this commercial has since left the church and is an outspoken critic.

There are several "Babies in Cellophane" DuPont ads from this time. When I see one, I want to rescue the baby!
Also, that stork is creepy.

Upon finding this gem of a toy ad, I also found out that beloved Milky was pulled off the market because she was full of NOT milk but LEAD. I then quit laughing.

I now have a working scanner.  I'm not sure whether that is good or bad news for this community:

Great idea:  get people to associate your product with hideous disasters, terrible loss of life, and third-degree burns.

I can state unequivocally from experience that there is not a single word of truth in this advertisement.

Anyone who ever used the advertised product knows exactly what I mean.

Lies, lies, lies
