Ads that were rescued from the trash can....
 

Here's a site you may like.... It's full of those ads which just didn't quite make it into print. In many cases it's obvious why!

WARNING: Some of these are pretty tasteless - so don't say you haven't been warned!

Again - these are real ads - not parodies!

There are over 50 interesting pulled ads here.... I hope you enjoy it! :)

Re: Ads that stink... my favorite....
 

Dien,

What a bunch of trash! But...

One got me thinking. The ad was OK... but the reason it was killed is interesting. You have to read the dialog between the Copywriter and the Account Exec. to see why it was scraped.

You're right - that IS a good one!
 

Hi Dave,

Heheh - that's a pretty funny one.... SO I guess THAT'S the kind of thinking you need to get a job in television!!! :)

Thanks - that's one of the ones I had skipped over, but you're right, with that dialogue, it's one of the best ones there! :)
