New WTF Category: Little Baby Wee Wee

FacilitiesCreative Commons License photo credit: bark

Since the market is tanking yet again today, I thought it was time for a little fun here at the Maven’s nest. I’m introducing a new category - WTF. This will be a catch-all for products, ads and services that make me pause and say, wait for it, WTF!

My previous mention of the pee and poo stuffed dolls aside, this new one is, as the old folks might say, a corker.

Introducing Little Baby Wee Wee.

Wow. How wrong is this and at how many levels?

Can you imagine being the copywriter behind this ad? Would you even admit to being the copywriter for this ad?

At least we don’t have to show our faces. That can’t be said for the adult actor here who I’m sure can no longer leave his house for fear of being accosted as Baby Wee Wee’s um, daddy.

Discuss among yourselves but do share the comments.

      I’m fine with this. It’s no worse than toy tanks, pistols, etc.

      @Everyone - Okay, maybe it’s just me. Hilarity aside, I find this one bizarre doll made even more bizarre by this TV ad.
