Funny advertising sites

The Internet is fast becoming littered with the semi-active hilarious remnants of various Web campaigns.

Burger King's Subservient Chicken featured a guy in a chicken outfit responding to typed commands and has arguably become the granddaddy of the genre since launching in April 2004. It remains active here.

Another long-lived and risqué effort comes from Philips Electronics, which used a mention on Howard Stern's Sirius Satellite Radio show to launch a ribald website that aimed to hawk body-hair shavers for men. The site featured a smirking guy clad only in a bathrobe, telling viewers about the company's Bodygroom shaver while pictures of fruits and vegetables popped onscreen to help describe sensitive parts of the male anatomy. You can find this funny site here
