There are many a times when you see some advertising campaign or an image of a product and think why would the company shoot themselves in the foot which such a stupid and awkward idea for a campaign. We take a look @ some of them.

The real ad does not contain this caption. Look At the Caption in the image , nuff said. [ via gizmodo.com ]

The campaign in question featured videos set up to resemble screen tests for low-budget skin flicks. Young men and women stood in front of cheap wood paneling, the kind one might find in the rec room of an 8mm director wannabe. These kids are interviewed by an unseen older adult, who asked them provocative questions and made suggestive comments about their physiques. Sometime in the 90′s these ads were pulled from the air. They were found to be offensive by some people.

This is the case of a Product Placement on the wrong page. Toyota ( not intentional ) sponsoring a car accident, not the best idea one would think.
