» 53 Failures in Communication

  1. Crok says:

    i think it’s in the men bathroom… fail x2

  2. chacharles says:

    that’s what the initial fail was crok

  3. Anonymous says:

    The real fail is that by showing such a hot chick on the ad, you’ll get a hard-on and cannot piss anymore. Truly evil.

  4. Transvestite car insurance anyone?

  5. Drunk women wander into the men’s restroom all the time. This totally makes sense.

    Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

  6. Why are the hand dryers always so far away from the sink?

  7. Cymond says:

    It’s the same way at my college. All of the women’s ads are in the men’s dorm and vice versa.

  8. [...] Advertising… FAIL (enlace) Eso es no saber donde está tu público [...]

  9. Omega II says:

    If a guy is in charge of paying for said product, then the advert is in the right spot.

    • Dee-Aussie says:

      I completely agree, and at the same time – what women is going to admit that they aren’t good drivers.
      So they husband/boyfriend is going to confront them per the ad.
      Or as Omega has mentioned above, there could be one income for example.

      Still a fail though.

  10. Keelhaul says:

    Does that mean you can buy a woman driver at a bargain price??????? I’ll take two please!
    Blonde and brunette please….and make em thick!…………..Wow, I can’t believe I just went there. I must be tired.

  11. feckineejit says:

    I see no fail here, but I make all of my insurance purchasing decisions for my wife based on poorly placed ads I see when I’m blind drunk and trying to pay attention to my piss-aim.

  12. Paul says:

    @ Stuff White Parents

    Actually, as the Paul who took and captioned the picture, the hand dry is literally next to the sink there :-)

  13. MoE says:

    @Keelhaul…

    Woman driver? I figured someone would say “rider” in a line like that. :P
    -MoE

  14. Chase says:

    Targeted marketing is a great thing when done correctly, but otherwise its always a failure, and therefore, comic gold.

  15. Coleman says:

    @ Stuff White Parents..

    You FAIL! The hand dryers are probably right next to the sink (which is out of the picture) those are urinals! Not sinks! FAIL!

  16. [...] post info By dailybiz Categories: Uncategorized Tags: bad advertising It’s kind of a gray day and I am really tired, but I got a chuckle out of FAILblog’s un-targeted advertising post…oops: [...]

  17. Adam says:

    @ Stuff White Parents

    The sink should usually be far away from the hand dryer because public bathrooms are not your personal bathroom. They are made to accommodate more than one person.

  18. Dark says:

    Cole, I can’t imagine someone trying to wash tehir hands in a urinal…

  19. Spaztronomical says:

    don’t see how this is a fail. the man pays the insurance. women without husbands or fathers just dont drive

  20. iuhwefuhwefgu wehfuwewegwegwg

  21. Anonymous says:

    There’s a better one down my local.

    A vending machine in the female toilets selling condoms – but with pictures of lesbians on the front.

    D’oh

  22. stueymon says:

    Clearly double fail, women cant drive! why would they need insurance?

    *goes into hiding*

    • Anonymous says:

      since when??? looser.

      • anonymous says:

        Its not so bad because by saying “*goes into hiding*” he (I’m guessing it’s a he, but you never know) expresses shame or possibly fear that women will come after him & hurt him.

  23. Mithrandir says:

    Actually, this is win if you think about it. How many women drivers are going to want to buy insurance from a company whose advertising perpetuates the myth of women drivers? Whereas a guy who believes in that myth would find the ad compelling.

    (Hint: the reason women generally have lower insurance rates than men is that women are *better* drivers. This doesn’t hold true over 65, but those stats are skewed by little old ladies from the era of “women’s place is in the home” who never touched a steering wheel before hubby snuffed it.)

  24. dcjaywalk says:

    Depends on where you are. Where I went to college, because the school only went coed in 1970, there are still a number of women’s restrooms on campus that contain urinals, being formerly men’s restrooms where the urinals were never removed…

  25. Anonymous says:

    She male win?

  26. daisy says:

    maybe it’s fore the more femanin trannies?

  27. DaSmith says:

    I think it is just meant to piss you off! :D

  28. gdub says:

    ladyboys being the target audience? i mean, theres a 50% chance they will use either the male or female toilets isnt there?
