I think the creators of the ads should be slapped silly. But the ad is serving the purpose, getting the name of the company out. Just not in very good taste.

Unless they just got off the boat, I bet one of the family members is under the age of 25 and bamboozled the older folks. Me thinks they had to know. But I could be wrong, and will eat crow if need be. Originally Posted by TsPoet

Funny thread!
Two things came to mind that never fail to make me chuckle whenever I think of them.
Saw a sign in a Dairy Queen Brazier restaurant some years ago for "fried clamps." Yummy!
A sign near the door of a local grocery store in north-central Pennsylvania read "Ho-made bread." Thought that was an admirable partnering of two of the world's oldest professions.
Humor is everywhere (intentional or not)!

I grew up near a vegie stand. How can you trust someone to properly harvest a tomato after reading that?

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary --
Clamp
Clam\, n. [Cf. Clamp, Clam, v. t., Clammy.]
1. (Zo["o]l.) A bivalve mollusk of many kinds, especially those that are edible; as, the long clam (Mya arenaria), the quahog or round clam (Venus mercenaria), the sea clam or hen clam (Spisula solidissima), and other species of the United States. The name is said to have been given originally to the Tridacna gigas, a huge East Indian bivalve.
You shall scarce find any bay or shallow shore, or cove of sand, where you may not take many clampes, or lobsters, or both, at your pleasure. --Capt. John Smith (1616).
Clams, or clamps, is a shellfish not much unlike a coclke; it lieth under the sand. --Wood (1634).
