Would you trust these people with your money?

Last night while having a cuppa in Starbucks (in Borders) with my friend Lynn, we were browsing through some of the US craft magazines Lynn had brought up from downstairs.

One of the ads was for a financial company, offering to manage your money for the 3rd half of your life

The same mag also had this ad:





Isn't it the most ghastly thing you have ever seen? The actual ad was even worse, but the only link I can get for that is broken.

That ad takes the biscuit for most appalling thing I've seen all week. Do you bite the baby's crispy sugar skull open to find chocolate or peanuts or crispy bits inside?

[hazelstitch.livejournal.com]

No. There doesn't seem to be any actual chocolate involved.

[phonemonkey.livejournal.com]

Huh. Without chocolate involved, what is the point?

[hazelstitch.livejournal.com]

Pass.

[mamlambo.livejournal.com]

Making the eating of babies socially acceptable?

[hazelstitch.livejournal.com]

But if they aren't chocolate, there isn't even any use in that
