Italian liquor throughout: marketers shouldn’t drink & type

marketing errors

Marketers: step away from the booze and keyboard

It’s Blooper day, and the MLS never disappoints. Thanks to Indiana’s own Bruce Walter and to Jan Pastras of Los Angeles for a number of great contributions this week. I hope you can help me with the last one by adding your comments. I laugh so hard every time I read it that I cannot come up with a retort!

Check out these classics:

For the Record…

“Italian liquor throughout”  (This must be the autopsy report for Sonny Corleone.)

“Polish cement floors.”  (What’s in them – Kielbasa?)

“See the surprise over the mountains”  (Note to Bubba: When the mother ship lands, try to cover the empty beer cans in the back of your pickup.)

“The horse you’ve been waiting for” (Attention McDonald’s meat buyer – there’s a call for you on line one.)

“Donot call with qestions” (Well I doubt you would have the answers anyway.)

For Yo’ Mama…

“No smaking on premises” (Okay, but I’m going to smack you with a Dictionary as soon as you step foot off the porch.)

“French doora in bedroom” (…French Doora’s maid’s costume  and feather duster on bedroom floor.)

“Agent must accompany clint” (Make my day!)

“2 unit home with tons of characters” (Sign at the California Actors Retirement Village.)

For the Road…

“Lower back is in flood plain” (Have you tried Depends?)
“Listin agent is owner” (Well that certainly puts a slant on things.)
“We hace interpruters” (I suggest you call one.)
“Correction oven” (Maybe you should put your head in it.)
“Spinal staircase” (Thus the footprints on your back?)

One For Me, Because I Can’t Stop Laughing!

“Do not disturb octopus” (I just have no words for this!)
That’s it for this week, folks. Remember: spell well and sell

I wear several hats: My mink fedora real estate hat belongs to Sotheby’s International Realty on the world famous Sunset Strip. I’M not world famous, but I've garnered a few Top Producer credits along the way. I also wear a coonskin writer's cap with an arrow through it, having written a few novels and screenplays and scored a few awards there, too. (The arrow was from a tasteless critic.) My sequined turban is my thespian hat for my roles on stage, and in film and television, Dahling. You can check me out in all my infamy at LinkedIn, LAhomesite.com, SherlockOfHomes, IMDB or you can shoot arrows at my head via email. I can take it.
