Funny because everytime I fly I always pick up sky mall and see this ad.

Good post,
It reminded me of years ago when I was running a pet store.
When I chose items to stock the shelves with I learned to mix in some of the really terrible and most god-awful looking products. If something came in several colors, it was invariably the tackiest ones that sold the best.

Haha, wow, I actually think of this ad/product almost every single time I fly.

If you listen to the “Jim Rome Show” you have heard of this thing. How outlandish does something have to be to get play on the biggest sports radio show in the world? We’ve all seen lots of ads in Skymall but this one strikes that chord that makes you say, What in the world! Love it!

Couldn’t agree more about “ridiculous-looking sells.” Many of the pages I build lately are amateur looking and very plain/bland. Ironically, they do pretty well!
