Great moments in copywriting, part one There are things that invite ridicule, and then there are things that invite ridicule to grab it by its shirt collar and slap it around a bit. This ad belongs to the latter category, and to a third category more Freudian and disgusting. The best I can figure is that Andrew Dice Clay, disillusioned after years of sucking at comedy, found work in marketing. Maybe he did this one, too. UPDATE: Or maybe McDonald’s is ahead of the game here. The March 2007 cover story in Wired is about snack culture. —Posted by David Kiefaber

Interesting -- I produced something very similar to that concept out of one of my holes this morning. Hint: It wasn't my snack hole.

Bill, interesting comment. But, seriously, shut your snack hole.

dear detractors,

i ask you to google the phrase "open your snack hole."

while i'm not sure what agency is behind this dubious execution, it's getting as much attention as anna nicole smith.

love it or hate it.

it's hard to ignore.

isn't that why we got into this business in the first place?

off to grab a snack wrap for my snack hole.
