LOL!!!!!

I'm pretty sure the commercial was prepped before this weather, but either it's really unfortunate, or someone has a great sense of humor and quick turnaround time, one of the two. A local store that sells mattresses is having a big sale that runs through Tuesday, so "slide on in over the weekend" and take advantage of the savings.

Yeah, no thanks, I'm not much for the sliding part (and don't need a new mattress). But I am giggling insanely.

A store in Scotland is offering mattresses with the tag line of "buy a bank!"

More precisely: "Beat the credit crunch! Buy your own bank. Get a mattress from <$storename>!"

LOL! Tacky, but amusing. But clearly done after the fact. The snowstorm hit so close to when these ads went up, I'm not sure if the "slide on in" was a deliberate weather reference or not. They'd have to have a real quick turnaround, but.....

That's true enough, though I thought you'd find it amusing nonetheless. :)

As for your store, it probably depends on what media the advertisement was in - you probably *could* be that quick for, say, a newspaper ad, but a radio/TV spot would be a lot harder to put together that quickly.

Whups, I didn't say, did I? It was radio. (I don't watch TV - and to me a newspaper ad is an ad, not a commercial - but still. I don't believe I left that out.)
