Spotted in Costco. Yes, I understand that "bella Donna" translates to "beautiful woman" but did someone not consider that naming a fruit brand after a poisonous plant was maybe, just maybe, not a good idea? #costco #adFail #fail #badProduct #wtf #wtaf

I love it when unclosable mobile ads block entire paragraphs of an article I'm trying to read. Really makes me want to buy whatever you're selling.

Ah yes, #advertising engine, when I am reading about a school shooting I am particularly interested in your pro-gun T-shirt ads. #AdFail

Mind you, I have used Roll20 in the past, and prefer FoundryVTT as it is the better product.
So while it was a very well targeted ad, it was still ineffective.

It's cute that the Facebook advertising algorithm thinks I have a wine cellar *and* am in the market for a new ladder.

An advert on Instagram for a wine cellar ladder with the caption "are you looking for a high-quality ladder for your wine cellar". The image is of a wine cellar set like a library with bottles instead of books and a fancy ladder.

Don't ask me how #LinkedIn's #advertising #algorithm thought I was in the market of luxury apartments in #Barcelona "starting at €2.4 million" 🤷‍♂️
