Whoah...

Hmm. It's obviously a result of someone either skimping on or paying way too much for the advertising, but it could work...

Or they did and are laughing their ass off as we post.

The worst part is the "truth" is about as bad as the perception. I can picture the press conference, now:

"No, they are not phalli. They are severed fingers."

"Oh, thanks...that's much better..."

"The Philly Phalli Phive". Genius.

Five fingers. Fingers with various demented facial expressions. The lottery game is called "Quinto: Fifty Grand in Your Hand!" I guess they could have been politically correct and made them different colors...the middle finger would, naturally, be African American-hued. . Whitey would get to be the pinky!



Marketing nightmare, I think - right up there with that OTC appetite-suppressant candy/drug they called "AYDS" right up to and including the early 1980's... "Mmmmmm...gimmie some of that!"
