Father’s Day is fast approaching. June 21st is the big day. And while all retailers are sure to do their share of promoting this day, much of it will likely be a waste.

Here’s an ad I just saw on CNN.com this morning. I haven’t had a chance to contact the advertiser and so I can’t say whether or not this ad is actually selling any product. But you gotta wonder.

As seen on CNN.com

Here’s an ad for a Stainless Canteen from uscanteen.com. The ad doesn’t look bad, but here’s the biggie…why is a woman wearing the canteen? This is supposed to be a gift for a man. This ad got my attention, but putting the canteen on a woman takes away the ‘manliness’ quality and gives it more of a modern chic look.

Maybe you’ll have a different view, if you do I’d love to hear it. But this seems like advertising gone wrong.
