Hotel Ads That Make You Go WTF?

Where: Kerkstraat 136, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1017 CR

There’s nothing we enjoy more than a cheeky ad campaign, but we have to wonder, how far is too far?

Via Boing Boing we find Amsterdam’s Hans Brinker hotel, whose ad campaigns over the years have proclaimed the property to be “dirty and carry a wide variety of bacteria;” to feel “just like home” (complete with an air mattress in a sparse room); and to feature a “unique design” involving a button and some kind of thin, curly hair-like thread that we may be being perverts about.

Of course, those crazy sexy cool commenters over at Boing Boing are in love with the idea, ranging from the intellectual (“I actually agree with the intent behind this ad … I think the germophobia in the U.S. has gotten way out of hand,”), to the TripAdvisor-y (“I’ve stayed there, it was a lot of fun!”)

So now it’s your turn to fess up. Is this ad genius or god-awful? And of course, if you’ve stayed there, let us know about it in the comments below.
