  • Worst National Ad Campaign

    #1
    What's the worst ad campaign you guys have ever seen? I think the Arby's 'oven mitt' campaign is pretty horrible. I mean, that's a cowboy hat. Everyone knows that!

    Anyway, what about you guys?

                Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

                    1.) Quiznos!!!

                    2.) Any of the 'soft money' political campaign ads - Republican, Democratic or others.

                    3.) Any ad with a smirkin' picture of Dubya.

                    Thankfully, VCRs and Tivo make watching most commercials unneccesary in my household.

                        How about the funniest commercails. Anyone remember the link for the 'I feel GREAT' campaign for the Kellogs Nutra Grain?

                            I hate political ads from any side, lying theiving bastads.


                            This is funny though check out this site http://homepages.nyu.edu/~meo232/sloganator/


                            It seems that the Bush/Chenney campaign made the graphics available online so people could print out posters and things. They didn't realize that a fully editable version with text could be used against them for a while and these posters are the result. Bad strategery

                              The quiz-nos ads were absolutly horible.

                              Now, the ads that I am getting a laugh out of are the viagra ads.
