A round of applause this morning for Samsung and CNN for jointly securing the web's most inappropriate ad title of 2007:

CCN screen grab showing exploding mobile story with ad for Samsung Blast

Good show. Silver medal goes, of course, to the UK's Motorcycle News for this fine effort back in August:

Motorcycle News piece on dead biker with Harley Davidson ad declaring "No-one ever wished they'd stayed in more"

For the record, MCN apologised for the gaffe, and quickly pulled the ad. ®

Thanks to Frank Gates for the explosive tip-off.
