    Crappy Teva ad in October Powder magazine ironically mocks avalanche/tree well deaths

    Full page ad on page 65 of the October Powder has a Teva snow boot with a hang tag attached that reads "The time we got buried alive and it was awesome."

    Who came up with this of a campaign? Off to buy some Chacos to replace my Tevas that gave up the ghost this summer. Those Tevas lasted for 20 years (hey, it's not sandal weather very much in Oregon), and I was going to replace them with another pair of Tevas until I saw this ad.

    Relax guys, he's from Portland. Probably stands at an empty intersection, waiting for the walk light... in the rain.

    I'll be in PDX next week and happy to bring you a free sample of Dr. Parvo's Patented Desandyvaginator Cream. Just vigorously apply to the affected area for 4 to 5 minutes.

    I guess you missed the picture of the house almost completely covered in snow in the middle of the ad and the fact that there was no ski equipment in the ad. The pictures of a slice of half eaten pizza, cards, shot glasses, lighter and rolling papers, etc. would be a clue of what they meant by being "buried alive" to all but the most idiotic.
    Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
