Just do it.

Brothel Ad

Sorry, Nike. While this mark is believed to be one of the oldest remaining ads in the world, it ain't for no footrace. It actually points people to a brothel in Ephesus, a town in ancient Greece (now Turkey). How fitting that the oldest ad in the world be for the oldest biz in the book.

Many thanks to my friend Julia for the find and the photo.
