Badly placed ads


Hi there everybody.

It’s bizarre that no matter how well you execute an advertisement and successful it is on a large scale, it’s always possible for things to go wrong that will mar your work.
One particular example of this is what we like to call “badly placed ads”. This happens when your advert clashes with another advert or design, which is in relatively close proximity….thus making your advert seem obscene or hilarious.
Here are a few choice examples that I thought you should check out.

First on my list of badly placed ads is a hilarious mix between popular sporting brand Nike and what looks like a Japanese public safety warning.
The first thing you read at the top of the image is that it is forbidden for any individual to jump into the tunnel…obviously because you will end up as smoosh underneath a passing bullet train.
However right underneath the safety warning sign is an advertisement for Nike with some healthy looking chap who embodies the brand slogan of JUST DO IT.
Looking at the two together is hilarious because it kinda taunts you to jump…I dare you, I double dare you to jump onto the tracks. HEHE. This is indeed a badly placed ad.
