How do you advertise nails?

[idk01]

A wealthy but down-to-earth scrap metal merchant started a new line of
business by recycling metal to produce nails for common DIY jobs. He
called his product 'Clough's Clout Headed Nails', but in the first year
they didn't sell too well so he decided to advertise. But how do you
advertise nails?
Very difficult - but he used his imagination.

His first advert caused media outrage. It depicted the Good Friday
crucifixion scene with a caption below - 'For a really good job, use
Clough's Clout Headed Nails'. 50,000 telephone complaints were made in one
day, he was obliged to issue a statement. 'Don't worry, he told the press.
Next week I'll run a more sensitive advert'

Next week the advert appeared in a modified form. It depicted the same
three crosses, this time empty!. In the distance however, three bearded
figures in loin cloths were seen running for the hills. The new caption
read 'This wouldn't have happened if they'd used Clough's Clout Headed
Nails'.
