In 1999, I did an ad for E*Trade with Saddam Hussein trying to blow up New York and Washington, D.C. It seemed funny at the time. On our most recent camapign for Airstream (which encouraged people to treat themselves on days off), we got corrected by a couple of math teachers that we didn’t give people enough days off. Apparently, we get more days off a year than we had counted. [The airstream ad said people get 119 days off; in actuality, according to the math teachers, they get 127.]
