    Bad Ad Placement

    Product placement. Been the big thing in movies for years...

    Then, there's this.







    Bad Ad Placement.

    Mangled translations from overseas.









    I see Rupert Junior's been there.

    Mangled Engrish.

    The city started putting the teen pregnancy prevention ads in the subway. Problem is, it's right next to the slip and fall lawyer ads, including one that advertises divorce..

    I am sorry to hear that. In many ways I thought it was a good idea. It was designed to raise awareness about the responsibilities of becoming a parent. Particularly important for young people who are often not ready to meet those responsibilities.

    I like the intent. Stop teens from becoming pregnant in the first place instead of letting them have a dangerous abortion. Maybe scare tactics are what they need.
