In advertising design class at Utah State I got a new professor to think that a proposed Sony portable video camera would be the called The Seeman (after the walkman)
When I was working at a business magazine I accidentally produced an ad proclaiming a law firms expertise in “Initial Pubic Offerings.”

This made me laugh, which is hard to do at 9am with only 4 hours of sleep. I know if I saw the site that would be the first ting I looked at.
