You Could Cut A Tin Can With It...

Okay, one of the folks in my writer's group sent me this and... I. Just. Have. No. Words.
I've been "form websited" and the phrasing in places...

"I really take pleasure in my Staked! Staked is such an stupendous product that I dont know how I've lived without it all these years."

[wipes tear from eye]

Heh. I'm sorry. It's just too funny. Anyone else have good example of marketing gone awry?

Heh.

Nah. I just couldn't get over the very obvious way in which "Staked" had been pasted into the ad by whomever or whatever (if it was some automated program) did it.

They could just have easily been selling a plastic rhino or an excercise machine. Not that the idea is flattering, but c'mon...

"I really take pleasure in my Staked! Staked is such an stupendous product that I dont know how I've lived without it all these years."

Seriously? :P

Maybe they got it confused with the Stake Brand Gothic Dildos?

I think I've heard of those, Anton. The splinters are a real problem though.
