After discussing with my family and friends I believe that there’s two parts of people to deal with advertising. The first one who doesn’t like ads, commercial and everything that refers to publicity. It is the one that skip every commercial on TV. And the other one is the people who enjoy and like to analyze and understand advertising. I do belong to this last category.  But fortunately I am not alone and among this part of the population there is the people that like advertising so much that they play with it, they mix it with the news and they built “fake ads”.

Among my favorites here we can see :

It says “ to dry your MEGA tears”

The following ads refer to a mistake made by the French online clothes seller “La Redoute”. The story is that on their website there was a photo of young kids and we could see on the background a naked man. So people laughed at it and made funny fake ads to mock it

Here are the kids and it says “vacations without a bad surprise”.

“We all dread to make mistakes” Here to dread stands for “redoute” and it’s also the name of the company. This fake ad is for a Correction fluid brand Tipp ex.

And the last one  about La redoute mistake is a fake ad for La Redoute’s first competitor : “Les 3 suisses”. It says “Apparently not everyone knows that we have bathsuits from 9€99”. Oh yes and this was the naked man.

One of my favorite  is for Costa coisière. It says “See the world differently”
