First…Gene Simmons thinks he’s created the first-ever “ass”vertising campaign to promote Season 2 of his A&E show. Wrong Gene.

Assvertising is so passe.

Although the image at right (via Adrants) could bring new meaning to the term. The cheesy faux-transparent skirts and built-in thongs are apparently used in cheap porn flicks to titillate men who can’t afford to put mirrors on their shoes.

Second…now there’s uniform-vertising via AdFreak. Apparently this company thinks it’s a brilliant idea to put ads on uniforms. I can just see it now. A big old ad for Tampax across the local grocery store checker’s chest.

Enough already! It’s bad enough uniforms are so hideously ugly and unflattering, but to putting an ad on them just adds insult to injury.

These coasters for the Mumbai Police were printed using a special invisible red ink, which spreads only when moistened. So when you put your beer on the coaster and then lift to drink, you are looking at a face that appears to be bleeding. The graphic visual combined with copy that reads “Just a reminder: Drunken driving kills” certainly gets the message across.
