The list of disasters goes on and on in advertising "halls of shame", like 
the slogan "Come alive with Pepsi" of a few years ago that translated in SA 
to "Pepsi brings you back from the dead", but the best was in today's 
papers: Reebok named a women's running shoe "Incubus", an evil spirit that 
sexually attacks sleeping women. That really gets the "idiot gene of the 
year award"!
