how NOT to advertise pork

DateFriday, May 8, 2009 at 09:51AM
um...hungry?

I just found this banner on The Big Red Kitchen. Now, I’ve heard Pork called a lot of things: “Juicy, Satisfying, Bacon-y and Awesome” come to mind. You know things that might get you to EAT it.

Well I guess we can now add “Safe” to that list. Cuz, you know, THAT gets peoples mouth watering. Truly.

Has the “Hamthrax” gotten people so scared that this needs to happen? Sigh.

I bet this was suggested and approved by a client's committee who don't know a bacon bit about Advertising.

Don't know if you've seen this, but it's pretty great.

Hey there. The journal is getting super-spamalicious lately so I'm turning on comment moderation for a while. Sorry - I usually approve stuff pretty quickly, tho!
