WTF Friday - On Our Soapbox
So this week's entry is a advertising postcard we received in the mail about six months ago. There's so much wrong here, we have to break it down, point by point.
*Point 1: GAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! HIDEOUS CREEPY MUTANT BABY!!! KILL IT!!! KILL IT WITH A STICK!!! DIE DIE DIE HORRIBLE MUTANT BABY GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!
*Point 2: This is an ad for a DESIGN company. This is where it is important you impress people with how well you can DESIGN things. Things that, say, DON'T have creepy mutant babies on them (see point 1).
*Point 3: Perhaps, just perhaps, it might be a good idea to DESIGN something new, instead of swiping an old soap ad you found. Perhaps that would be a stronger demonstration of your DESIGN skills to your potential customers than crudely angling text so it kinda sorta looks like your company's name is on the soap wrapper. Also, something new you DESIGNED is less likely to have creepy mutant babies on it (see point 1).
*Point 4: Perhaps, just perhaps, it would be a good idea NOT to ask the question "Why Not Visit Us?" next to a creepy mutant baby nobody wants to see, therefore answering the very question you asked, only with "NO!" (see point 1). "Come on down, check out our selection of creepy mutant babies," is not a good marketing strategy, even if you DID sell creepy mutant babies."
*Point 5: Handy tip: Child porn- Avoid it.
*Point 6: The creepy mutant baby appears to be farting up a storm, as the "soap" bubbles in the water are only around his/her/its waist.
There are so many red flags here (creepy farting mutant baby that wants you to come visit it, for starters), that I don't see how this thing got out, or how anyone thought it was a good idea. But then, I'm not in the "design" biz.
