I’m Not Sure “Unusual” Is A Complement

Posted on March 22, 2011

Here’s an ad Facebook just showed me:

Looking at the attached picture, I think I know what the copywriters are trying to imply with the word “unusual.”  (Wink wink, nudge nudge.) But it doesn’t really work.  When I see the word “unusual” I tend to think more along the lines of “has an extra arm growing out of her back” or “has half a dozen dead drifters stacked up like cordwood in his crawlspace.”

Could be just me, though.
