Inadvertantly Funny Advertisements

I've seen two recently that I remember:

One is from the state of GA which is spending all sorts of money on this new scare-tactic advertising campaign about Meth. Over a picture of a filthy bathroom there are words similar to this: "No one ever thinks they will lose their virginity here. Meth will change that."

The problem? They seem to imply that you will lose your virginity, but if you reflect on what it says, it really just means that Meth will make you think you will lose your virginity there.

The second one, and funnier one (Meth. really isn't that funny) was on the back of a truck for some Jesus hot-line. It read: "Got hope? Jesus is the answer."

The problem? The way it is written "hope" is apparently a problem, and Jesus provides the answer to such a problem.

4. Make things hard for yourself, welcome discomfort, conflict, need!

Since our conscious deliberation plays such a small role...

we must shock people into different ways of thinking...
