My favorite was some joke ads run on our local radio station for the "Heine
Winery" owned by Ophelia Heine and Big Red Heine. They purportedly sold
wine in pop-top cans and were located in a town which only exists as a name
on an Interstate exit (this is rural New Hampshire).
The scary thing was that when they announced that the winery was throwing a
party, people showed up at the exit looking for the winery!
