Thing I Noticed Today Including Now (TINTIN) - Unfortunate European Advertisments

It's been almost give or take 5 months since I first arrived in Belgium. I've had good times and bad, ups and downs, fond memories as well as things I wish I could easily forget - one of those in particular would be.... unfortunate European advertisements.

Now, I'm going to state first and foremost I am by NO means an expert in this field nor I am claiming ads in my country are better (Remember 'HeadOn?'), but more times than not as I find myself wandering grocery store aisles to Train stations in Belgium, I keep coming across advertisements that leave me wondering, "How the hell did this even make it to production?"

These photos speak for themselves, more that I think the advertisers actually intended to.

At first glance, nothing really out of the ordinary. I mean, it's just a harmless squeeze packet of applesauce for kids. I mean, it's for kids! But upon closer inspection...

Dear god..

Nothing says "Kid-friendly" than two soulless apples staring into the depths of your mortal soul, mocking your pitiful existence. Oh and guess what? These little abominations have friends.

'Come play with us, Danny'

Holy smokes, I don't know why these things ever existed and wish I'd never had made eye contact with them in the first place. Seriously, these things give me the willies, man.

Now this one I found in the Subway station - it was supposed to be an advertisement for a university, I think. See the joy and excitement in everyone's eyes as they all give thumbs up to you as if to say, "Yeah! This is totally awesome man!" But it seems when everyone else is having a good time, there's always a party pooper

The eyes have it

Ah, nothing beats the look of, 'Hurry up and let's get this sh*t over with."

Found this gem in a newspaper. It was an article about parents teaching their kids about Internet safety. Is it just me, or is her son taking to it a little too..eagerly.

'Oh yes Mother, I quite like this Internet'

'I like it a lot'

Now believe me, I have more pictures but I'll be posting the rest of them over time. But before I finish, I'll leave you with one more prime example.
      - This one was for candy that I found in a convenience store yesterday:

Need I say more?
