What's the most obnoxious or smartest or funniest ad you've seen this year?
Slate is out with the "Worst ads of 2009".
http://www.slate.com/id/2239610?nav=wp They run the gamut from anti-depressants to hi-tech gadgets, to the Charmin ads with the cartoon bears. They left out my fav, an ad for some hi fiber cereal. It features a bulky, middle-aged guy togged out in hardhat and full Carhart. The backdrop is a heavy construction site. The guy puts one foot up on a cement block or something, leans toward the camera with his cereal box and tells us how regular he's been since he started eating wheata-bix. As he speaks a dumptruck backs up behind him and spills several tons of brick. They look like they're falling out of his butt. Clearly, if you eat this stuff and you'll shit a load of bricks. There was an alternate version that featured a truckload of 55 gallon drums, that rumbled as they fell. What ads stuck in your mind, for better or for worse?
