So, the logic here is:

If I had a DUI, I'd pay less for insurance.  GIMME A BOTTLE & GIMME THE KEYS!!!

Aside from the worst grammatical copywriting this side of Japan, let's also note this is on an t-shirt colored Gitmo Camp X-ray Orange for no apparent reason...oh and it's a t-shirt that has a dropdown menu in the middle of it.

Some poor designer had to whip this one up in a hurry, no doubt.  I love the thinking that says , sure people will know these are cellphones, just look at them.

"Paging Dr. Clinker! Paging Dr. Clinker!"

"Paging Dr. Clinker! Paging Dr. Clinker!"

Awfully Prominent Place for a Personal Ad

Awfully Prominent Place for a Personal Ad
This all-text banner, featured at the top of the Opinion page on nytimes.com, might catch your eye because it's not all Flash animation and wordplay.  But, unfortunately, nobody reads anything anymore.  And, for those of us who do, this looks like some kind of personal ad in the classifieds:

How about:

SWM IT Executive seeks submissive customers for hot audio-conferencing.  Must be willing to appreciate deep, steamy savings and want world-class service bad.  You want 3 months of web conferencing at no charge?! I've got it...come and get it baby!

Remember, this is an online dating service for total dweebs who are going to obsessively Twitter about you instead of stalking.  Feel the love.
