How not to advertise on Facebook

Yes please! Sign me up for six-packs

OK, so I had this ad show up on my face­book page (which I was totally check­ing for work related purposes) and was a little confused at the message that it was trying to convey, was it suggest­ing that I get my “6-pack” by going to their totally generic site? Or perhaps the message they were trying to convey was a little more subtle, perhaps they meant that I should commit a hate crime, do some hard time in jail and get my “6-pack” that way?

For those that are unaware the image in the ad is taken from the movie Amer­i­can History X (Wikipedia entry). Here’s the part in ques­tion @ the 2:33 mark (warn­ing, some people might find it disturb­ing, so don’t watch it then come here and complain at me) via YouTube

Perhaps Face­book should screen their ad’s a little bit more? Or maybe the people who put up those awesome, qual­ity ad’s (i’m totally sure that your “new proven method” is totally legit, i’m sure you even asked a real scien­tist guy right?) should engage what little brain they have? Or maybe people just don’t care and I wanted to write a blog post?
