Foot-Focused Moving Company Sponsors Severed Feet

putyourfeetyup_contextual_severed_foot.jpg

When it comes to moving and moving companies, big trucks and cardboard boxes are the sort of imagery that usually come to mind. Severed feet washed ashore on a Canadian island is probably the last bit of imagery to cross one's mind when cogitating that topic. That is, unless you're a moving company called PutYourFeetUp and your ad banner happens, courtesy of oh-so-smart contextual advertising, to appear above a news story about...severed feet washing ashore on a Canadian island.

Thanks to Tom Hespos, who found it on Fark, for sending it in.

Someone needs to put their foot down...and that foot is me.

I think the other ad is just as great! "Looking for a REAL travel deal?" Should be followed by "Canadian island hotels starting at just $39 a night!"
