We’re fans of the site Ads of the world, which tracks the most innovative and witty advertising across all mediums. If you are at all interested in advertising, it’s well worth perusing.

So imagine their horror at seeing the fruits of their labour perverted by placement that is unfortunate, but perhaps not entirely coincidental.
