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 (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/17/mcn_ad_gaffe/) 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.
