A strip club in Chester, England put on its marketing cap — but little else — and decided to display advertising on some prime real estate:  strippers’ ass cheeks.

Dan Phillips, a booking agent for the Platinum Lounge, said: “Local firms can sponsor as many of the girls as they wish and we hope the novelty of the scheme will ensure their message will stick in the minds of those people visiting the club.”

Of course, that’s not the only thing in the club that’s sticky.

Lap dancer Emma-Louise, who assisted with the research process by allowing them to stencil her buttocks, said: “I always like to help out, and anything which helps promote anybody’s business must be a good thing, especially during these ‘credit crunch’ times.”

Yes, it’s good to erect additional revenue streams in times like this!

There are, however, a few assvertisements that may not be the wisest idea.  Check out those unfortunate product placements after the jump.

It’s the question that’s been keeping Americans up at night:  Why in the world did Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson name their son Bronx Mowgli Wentz?!

Lose no more sleep, my friends!  Pete is here to save the day by shedding a little light.  Well, sort of.

Pete tells Ryan Seacrest:

“We came up with the idea Bronx. We’ve been throwing [ideas] back and forth a while.  It’s kind of cool to just leave the narrative what it is. People are stoked or pissed or whatever. And you’re like, you know what: I don’t think anyone really has the real story. . . The Jungle Book was something that me and Ashlee bonded over.”

Clearly, they did not bond over the Grammar Book.
