In this day and age, getting someone's attention is hard work, we are overstimulated with ads of all types, all battling for our attention. But some ads are so downright terrible that netizens had to stop and take stock to document a marketing team's outright failure. 

This is such a phenomenon that multiple online groups now existed, solely dedicated to gathering and sharing the worst advertisements out there. So make sure to get comfy and scroll through the most bizarre marketing decisions on the internet, upvote your favorite,s, and comment if you have encountered anything as weird in the wild.

Why is a teenager missing teeth? Admittedly, I don't really know much about children, but I thought that was a toddler thing...

A teenager either takes a lot of showers during the same day or none at all for a week or two.

This is not a racist comment - but a great many Asians have small breasts. I have been to Philippines, Japan, China, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand etc. There's nothing wrong with that. My point is literally in the BILLIONS of women have small breasts - so I really doubt their claim they are the only ones who designed a bra for them. I've seen shops full of small cupped bras over there when shopping with relatives.
