Adverts Just Aren't What They Used to Be

Here's just a few adverts I've seen recently that, in some way, are completely stupid/hilarious. I mean, there's tons of them out there, so I'll post more later, but this is all I got for now.
Also, no pictures, which is disappointing, but I can't figure out how to take screenshots...


In an advert for Geek 2 Geek, some dating service for... geeks... the picture used was George Clooney. George Clooney, y'know, the famous actor, probably a millionaire, too. Not exactly the kinda guy you'd use to advertise a dating service for... geeks...


On YouTube, in the "Recommended for You" section, there was a video for Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract." Thinking it was because of the Lady Gaga videos I don't watch in secret when no one's looking, I saw that it was instead suggested because I watched "A Frat Boy Reviews 'Avatar.'" Because the two have loads in common...


A Facebook advert was advertising IMVU, an avatar-oriented social network, with the headline "18 male and love YoVille?" Ah... most 18 year old males do not love YoVille (game app on social networks where you do pretty much nothing), and even if they do, I'm sure they have other things (I guess I should say "we") to do than avatar chat with fat pedos pretending to be girls on the internet. Porn's the number one other thing. Porn is number two. Guess what number three is?

That's all I got for now.


Moral of the story: stay in school! It's the number one way of not coming across as someone who has zero communication skills.
