Local Ads gone bad: Eye-Q says aaaahh

Submitted by suzi on Tue, 07/25/2006 - 14:12.

I was flipping through the paper on Sudnday and was struck by the truly odd image on the cover of the TV Guide.

I'm not getting why a blow-up doll was chosen as the model for this ad. Kudos to the marketing geniuses for taking a big risk. Please let us know how this works out.

Congratulations to Eye-Q Vision Care for being the first in this series.

Thanks, Blossom. Typo fixed.

FYI that's the title of my blog, not a topic heading. Every Fresno Famous user can have a unique blog title and blogroll by filling out those fields (hopefully sans typos) in their user profile.

I have actually seen the TV

I have actually seen the TV commercial that runs with this ad and it is hilarious!! I think their marketing team brought something new and refreshing to the table. After all, it caught your eye didn't it?

Yes - I totally agree. This is baaaaad radio.
I hereby dub wiffle: Dad of the Bad Radio Ads.

I want everyone posting this stuff! I present a challenge:

Anyone who encounters a bad local ad (print, video, radio, whatever) load it up and put:
Local Ads gone bad

in the tag field.

If we get enough good ones I may be tempted to create some bad house ads pointing to that topic (muahahaha).

I dig this series. Look forward to the next one. But you think that ad is bad, listen to the voice "acting" in this Central Fish ad:

That girl is in several different commercials in town and is ALWAYS TERRIBLE; she must be some production company owner's wife. Morgan is actually better than the actors.
