Gentlemen, you are drunk
This comes to us from a gigantic sign in Grand Central, hence the odd reflected lights in the image. Now I know they're serious, because they're using the term, "Gentlemen." But, while they're being serious, they're also being another word that ends with "-ous." Ridiculous.
What exactly does that mean? "Gentlemen, this is vodka." What is this? Sitting with glasses in your hands? Not shaving? Dressing semi-casual? White and black men with glasses, talking about shaving heads, dressing casual with palm trees in the background??
Gentlemen, this is modeling. This is fake.

I Hope The Knuckle Headquarters Are Nicer Than This
Nine assorted exhaust elbows on a rack does not deserve the moniker "headquarters."
Frankly, I don't know what an Elbow Headquarters would look like, but it's not this.

Discover Exotic Cultures and Eat Them
This from my friend Josh, who spotted Marketing Madness in the sushi display. Obviously taken in some big box warehouse joint called Wegmans where the ceiling is just raw pipes and fork lifts roam the aisles.
Discover the Orient with Sushi??! Is that really discovering the Orient, eating raw fish? Can't I just go on the web and look at pictures of Japan instead of eating their crazy food? Why are you scaring me with this stuff??

Merry Chris-make-a-lotta-money...s
As noted before, the holidays are a time for joy, giving and desperate, hollow advertising. Which brings us to the A&P store plastered with signs about a "Holisaleabration." Doesn't that word sound a little like "halitosis."
Please note the similarities to another A&P word-jumble campaign I mentioned from September of 2009:
Redtacular Spectacular Count Dracula

Give A Card...It's Cheap and Made of Paper
The fact that they slotted this little callout in the middle of the display really emphasizes how feeble the whole give-a-card sentiment is. Almost calls attention to the fact that it's the cheapest little stupid ass thing you can do because you have no life and no friends.
I mean, it doesn't say that. But the thought is there.
