Advertising is meant to grab attention—just not like this. From signs with unfortunate typos to digital screens frozen on the computer’s Windows desktop, these blunders prove even the biggest brands can make a fool of themselves. Of course, not every failure comes from poor judgment or inexperience. Some are simply the result of bad luck. But when you’re addressing the public, it’s your responsibility to ensure that the message lands as intended. If it doesn’t… Well, that one’s on you.
