This can also be very useful DIY-advertising tool for small companies to come up with "meaningful?!" ads. It would be really interesting to tweak the generator so that you enter a set of slogans and it will start generating ads based on the slogans you enter, while suggesting new slogans, not necessarily by mixing and randomizing but by "smart association". It would be an interesting way of selling copyrighted photos. I see this as an useful tool for advertising companies as presumably they do some sort of “brainstorming” for their customers.

There has been many random sentence generators given a keyword for a long time as seen in forum signatures in boards across the web. But combining a picture with those random sentences to prove a point especially in the advertising world is definitely genius. That's what I call innovation. I see the randomly generated web advertisements coming up real soon.

This is a total chaos, and advertisers are throwing more and more money in order to make more meaningless advertisment. For myself, i find most of them disturbing and unproductive, and every day, i develop myself a kind of barrier that try to block these advertisment into reaching my mind, but advertisers find always another way to reach me. I've stopped watching TV because i find it pathetic to watch 2 minutes commercial for every 10 minutes of a movie. My wet dream would be that the companies would stop advertising their products, and put their marketing money into upgrading their products, and discounting them, and let their customers be the advertisers. But alas, my dream is stupid, and there is no way that they'd drop advertisment.

Advertising and branding are two obvious applications of the generated visual ads. However, the generated ads could be used to creatively solve problems as well as innovate on products and services.
