A good advertisement is built from many components - a great idea, of course, the execution, and even placement of the printed ads are crucial. And when one of these things go wrong, the whole advertisement goes astray. If the idea does not match the product, then the customer might not understand what's it about. If the picture has a Photoshop fail, then that's probably what you'll remember. And if the advertisement is placed wrong, then chances are it will change the whole look and concept so much, that it might turn an innocent food ad into a racy poster. These funny fails are exactly what this post is about.
We previously ran a story on funny print ads placement here, but we've decided that we want your input on these design fails, and turned it into an open list. The results are more than hilarious!
So, if you need some cheering up or maybe wish to evil-laugh at the epic fails, scroll down below and get your fix at these advertisement examples gone terribly off!

Newspaper Ad Placement
AleksanderBogdański 10 years ago
That doesn't look like a fail, I'm pretty sure the whole page is one advert in fact and it's not even that bad, just a bit poor taste.
CheriCollins 10 years ago
No, the whole page is not an ad -- you can see story header lines, if you look.

Take The Stairs
Daniel DeLuca 5 years ago
It it just advertising the notion that you will be healthier when you burn calories by using the stairs instead of the elevators. It doesn't mean that the elevator is out of order. I ignore those signs, even though I am not in a wheelchair, because I want to preserve my knees.
