In one of the funniest ads I’ve seen recently, Kmart demonstrates that it can play with taboos — both retail and social — and get away with it. Not only is their business idea interesting, but they have made a funny and memorable ad that gets across the message while keeping the viewer engaged and laughing the entire time.
