Advertising Darwin Award of the Week



Okay. So I see an ad on TV for the "Safe Cut", a nifty package opener that gets you into those ridiculous thick plastic cases that things like Walkmans (yes, I said Walkman) come in. "You'll never struggle with opening a package again!" the ad promises. AWESOME. Sounds great. Except that at the end of the ad, they show a product shot, and I WISH I could find a picture of it, but they package it in the KIND OF RIDICULOUS IMPENETRABLE PLASTIC YOU REQUIRE A DAMN "SAFE CUT" TO OPEN.

A+ guys.
