88. What's the worst TV ad I've ever seen?
I have 3, one for each category.
1. Misunderstood:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt1Ph5tG3XA2. Just plain wrong: PG-13 warning, I'm whiting out the text. Highlight at your own risk.
A couple of girls, mother and daughter, are captured by an African tribe of cannibals, and put inside a large pot. The daughter cries, then reveals she's stressed out because she slept with her boyfriend without protection. The mother calms her down and shows the audience a product for dealing with it. What it has to do with the cannibals, it's for you to guess3. Offending: A promo for a new TV show here, about parenting. A woman comes to a close friend (I guess) and tells him her son was diagnosed as Asperger, a light type of autism (More at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger ). She begins crying like it's some sort of life-threatening cancer or something.
I have Asperger, and I thought that commercial was just horrid.
