Ten worst ads of 2009
Posted in Advertising Related on December 10th, 2009 by liz – Be the first to commentYessss! My evaluation of the Palm Pre commercials (one of them, anyway) is vindicated! It’s number 5 of BNET’s 10 Worst Ads of 2009. The weird girl with the intestinal hairdo fails to charm. I wonder if she fails to sell Palm Pre’s, too. She just makes me mad, I don’t know why.
But the Pre spot is hardly the worst of the 10. You have to have a strong stomach or be immune to extremely bad taste to stand some of the others. One wonders what concept (if any) was behind the Red House “black people and white people” TV spot. Is it supposed to be ironic? Funny? Stupid? Well, one out of three isn’t bad.
And how about the one with a girl removing her lips so they can continue talking to her mom on her Virgin Mobile phone about her icky skin condition while she hits the gym shower?
Here’s number 6 for Miracle Whip, one of the most disgusting substances ever invented for people to ingest. What’s the idea? Is Miracle Whip copping the “I’m a Pepper” attitude? Hey! How about “I’m a Whipper!” No?
And believe me, some of the others are worse. Go here and see. If you dare.
