First!

I don't think that the ad is really broken. To me, broken would be more like the recent Nootropic posts about CNN and ABC.

Not broken. Just a case of computer insertion that happens to look funny.

not broken, but very strange, and yes it is creepy

Not only is it bizarre placement for the ad, the ad itself is a little weird. What are they saying -- "Come stay at Best Western, where the beds are a few inches too short"?

Reminds me a bit of that current television ad with the bouncing beer truck. "Buy Coors Light, the beer that sprays all over you when you open the bottle!"

what is broken on all hotel sites ive been linked to never ever ever has a phone number in its discription, reservation or directions. Why

because they don't want to have to pay the person who recieves the call. The solution therefore is to prevent phone calls to their call center. Fewer calls justifies fewer employees.

I didn't do it; executives hoping to trim a few cents off the cost of a room per night are responsible. Not me.

just letting you know.

Isn't that like a mail-order place not giving you an address?

Don't they usually put people on their backs in the morgue?

By the way I agree entirely with E.T.

ET stole my comment. Why would they advertise a hotel where someone's toes are sticking out of the bed?
