Tacky Advertising

 I have been caught off guard by some strange marketing ploys. 

Here is a few of the tackiest.

* "Hi, I am from the blog hop.  I hope you will join me back."*

Clearly, you have no interest in reading what I wrote.  While I commend your dedication to

marketing your own blog, it is still a little tacky to cut and paste this comment on several blogs.

*While the family mourns the death of the younger brother, Mom pulls out Hershey syrup to make the older brother feel better.*

This happened on an episode of General Hospital (do not judge me).  It was a really sad moment and they did a product placement for Hershey's in the middle of it.  They must have mentioned the brand name at least three times.  Double tacky!!

*"If she can't remember your name, remember ours."

This was on a billboard for an Alzheimer's treatment center in our area.

Triple tacky!!! 

And finally, I just received this postcard in the mail...

This is the front.

 

This is the back. 

It is from an insurance agency.  This is the kind of mailing they send out 2 days before Christmas and in the middle of Hanukkah.

Tackiest of all!

Tell me when a tacky one catches your eye!
