The ugliest ad on earth? Maybe not, but it’s certainly worth a look. (Click it, it’ll get bigger.)

I started counting the ridiculous aspects of this little ad, quickly ran out of fingers and had to desock.

1.) How, exactly, can the single word “UGLY” be trademarked? Or is it the combo of the word and the — ahem! — typography?

2.) The after picture: Cleaned up, or just a more powerful flash?

3.) A Google search for “plastigated reconstruction” (“used by NASA on space craft”) brings up one — as in UNO, SINGULAR, ONE — reference on the entire World Wide Web… and it’s to this guy’s ad!!!

And LIMITED EDITION 13 CD COLLECTION??? Does the extended warranty cover that, too? BTW, I know for a fact that Elvis and the guy who comes to clean your tub are one and the same. (Wonder if there’s a “Singin’ in the Shower” special?)

The name and contact info were deleted, by me, so you won’t prank call this poor guy all day and night (as I am already doing). And please refrain in any comments from typing the full name of his business, lest he find this on Google.

There’s actually a full-page version of this, if you can believe it.
