A Case Against "Smart" Banners: The Story Of A Four Year Old Who Died In The Car On Mom's Wedding Day
This story about a woman in West Palm Beach, Florida who accidentally left her four year-old boy in the car while she got her hair done for her wedding makes the ads around it from the South Florida Sun-Sentinal look really creepy. The boy was found dead when temperatures reached 90ยบ outside and police suspect his mother didn’t know her child was in the vehicle. Not exactly the kind of “wedding moments” one wishes to recall. After the jump two more insensitive banner ads from the Miami Herald.

Since when does advertising have good taste?

This would have made a great episode of Bridezillas. Not that I’ve ever watched that show.

How does one “accidentally” leave their 4 year old (or any child, for that matter) in the car while they get their hair done?
