Sticky, Sweet… Ugh…
I was reading the Medicine Hat News on Tuesday when I stumbled upon my favourite section, Ticked Off & Tickled Pink and read this comment:
Ticked Off
I’m ticked off at the placement of the pap test ads. First they were next to a headline talking about student accomplishments, then beside a muffin. Appetizing. Now they’re a Canada Day treat. What a fantastic way to celebrate Canada Day.
I more or less read the paper everyday, but mostly just the headlines so I didn’t see what he or she was talking about days earlier. I flip the page back over, and see the following:
Talk about unforunate ad placement, it’s even worse than the location he or she described, especially since the arrow in the ad points to “Salmon”. I know most of this stuff is fairly automated or at least not a conscious decision by the layout person, but, sheesh…

I’m booking a pap test for my pet Salmon right away. I keep her on a pretty healthy diet of sticky, sweet, irresistible cinnamon buns, so the test should be fairly low.

Beside a muffin is a pretty hilarious connotation.
Being under “Cuisine”, above “Sticky, Sweet, and Irresistible” and beside “Salmon” totally wins over the muffin.
