Some Unfortunate Adjacencies

Back in the day, before the earth's crust cooled and I worked in Radio and Television, the people in "traffic" that positioned the advertisements for broadcast were careful about adjacencies, commercials that are scheduled one after the other. For instance, you didn't want to schedule two different auto dealer's ads together in the same time slot, or two different soft drink ads, etc.

But here's a whole string of adjacency fails and bad product placement:

The van door doesn't exactly endorse the coffee

 Oh. That could have been placed better

 Uhhh

Oh, Shell

Wow. Heart issues are cheap these days

Yumm!

 So THATS where he is!

 I don't think that's the direction you want your plane to go

Not going to open that door!
