3M Tests the Sticking Power of Their Ads

Here is another ad from Post it Notes:

Notice the familiar fine print?

It’s the same ad as months before, just with a dog! How unimaginative is 3M's creative department that they can only come up with one gag? Did they hope that if it only aired on Animal Planet no one would notice? At least they changed the backgrounds.

Thanks to reader Michael Mills for the idea submission.

Obviously, the sticky note cannot do that, hence the fine print:

3M actually has to note this in order to prevent being sued for false advertising or fined by the Federal Trade Commission. You would think that it is just common sense that a kid cannot be held up by a post-it note, but I am sure there are people working in the legal department at 3M and the FTC dedicated to those six words.
