Stick To Making Real Ads

Shameless. That's how I would describe this little bucket of fun. Perhaps the surest sign of a citizen of Scamia is a wholly inappropriate, over-thought, over-sophisticated execution to sell an entirely functional product. Do these scammers really think that I'm going to chose their tape over the next one because you can make pretty (make that pretty damn ugly) pictures with it, provided you're creative and jobless, with a year or two to waste?

There is no reason to go super-clever when you're selling masking tape, unless it illustrates how good the tape is. Personally, I'd go for the one that says "Sticks Like Shit To A Blanket", and I think most of you would too.

This isn't clever. It isn't art. It isn't good. Which means it can only be one other thing. And by now, I think we all know what that is...
