Just For Fun

Was browsing through Trend Hunter this afternoon and ran across this story. Thought it would be a fun post for the beginning of the weekend.

Ads are everywhere, from billboards to magazine pages. They fill our faces with food, fashion and fun ideas.

Some unfortunately-located ads are hilarious, some are scary, and some are just plain sad.

Have a laugh or two and skim through these ironically located top 10 marketing tools.
