So here it is, the winner of the Worst Advert of 2008 vote - the DFS Nickleback advert:
As a testament to how much you hated this handful of advertising monkey crap that DFS threw at us in 2008, it received a massive amount of the vote: nearly twice as much as the Slim Fast advert [...]
Found this great little piece of viral marketing on DesignYouTrust. Really quite entertaining and it made me qurious about the drink…nicely done guys.
Samogon is a Russian alcaholic beverage.
The video is an advert for the Nokia N96 where Bruce Lee plays ping pong against two opponents with only his nun-chucks! The advert is really well done. Please let me know if you have some more information on this piece, agency etc?
Jeffman often thinks that the adverts they foist upon an unsuspecting public between the unprocessed sewer water they try and pass off as television nowadays, are solely created to wind him, and him alone, up. There is probably a small quality control department in every advertising agency who’ve been issued with strict orders to pass [...]Post from: Not What It Used To Be
No. 53 DFS Advert
Ok, so most people in South Africa who watch a little television should have seen this great little piece of advertising from Nandos.
Enjoy and lemme know what you think or if you have some ads that can compare to this one.
Along with the other junk mail about takeaways and curry houses in Kidlington, a four-page spread entitled "The Tribune: Your Local Weekly Newspaper" dropped through my door today.It gives all the signs of being a newspaper.Nowhere in the freesheet is the word "advert" mentioned and there is even a "Views" page. There are pullquotes in some articles and a logo of a scowling eagle.It is, however, a
I hope someone from Sony is paying attention this morning as a new fan based PS3 advert has hit the Internet and it is far better than the This Is Living series that was previously aired by Sony.

This is sort of old news now I guess, and i’ve seen various sites mentioning it. However now there’s a map to where the advert is apparently. I haven’t looked myself as I don’t own a copy of Burnout Paradise yet (moving house is expensive).

I was watching ITV last night and noticed that the latest Hovis advert has a recreation of the 1984 miners' strike as part of its drive to flog bread.It is interesting how historical events, even ones like the miners' strike that brought great hardship among working class communities and led to an economic sea change, become moments of nostalgia.Then again, many of the striking miners were keen to

God I’m getting annoyed today - was happy when I got into the office but now I’m angry and getting angrier. And today the object of my impatience and wrath are website adverts.

I just love this commercial! Okay, mostly because of the fact that my mom is Iban, which makes me half-Iban (duh!) and although I can't speak it (I'd sound totally weird), I could understand it pretty well.. provided you just don't chuck me at the longhouse alone. LOL!
Anyways, I've never seen anything on TV.. ever.. that showcased the Iban language like this ad does. Well, except for the time

Sometimes it doesn’t matter how much you love to hate TV adverts.
Because sometimes there are just too many pigs to wank off down at the sausage factory.

Repeli impiedosamente todos esses Espíritos que se querem fazer conselheiros exclusivos, pregando a divisão e o isolamento. São quase sempre Espíritos vaidosos e medíocres, que procuram impor-se aos homens fracos e crédulos, prodigalizando louvores exagerados a fim de fasciná-los e mantê-los sob o seu domínio. São geralmente Espíritos famintos de poder. Tiranos políticos ou particular

It's my secret,' whispers Eva Mendes in her new advertising campaign. But what isn't secret is her body - which has caused outrage across America.
Her 30-second advert for new perfume Secret Obsession has been banned by U.S. networks after being deemed far too racy for TV - because it shows a brief glimpse of Eva's nipple.

Credit-crunched Londoners grabbed pocketfuls of pennies yesterday at the launch of a 20-foot billboard advert made entirely from one-pence coins. The unique installation – made using over 20,000 pennies – only lasted 30 minutes as hundreds of opportunistic passers-by seized their moment to pick up a penny or two.The penny billboard was unveiled in London’s New Oxford Street to advertise the

Right. First off an apology:
June went by so quickly and I was having so much fun watching a couple of fellas kissing that I completely missed the fact that June had gone by.
So this is why the June’s TV’s Worst Advert Award is so late.

Anyway, it’s been a good one for the old adverts [...]
Vodafone has had to scrap their ‘any website, any time. £7.50 a month’ adverts for mobile phone internet services because the Advertising Standards Authority received a complaint. This complaint apparently challenged whether Vodafone’s advert misleadingly implied Vodafone offers unlimited internet access for the £7.50 per month.

An advert for Absolut Vodka that shows a redrawn border between Mexico and the USA has caused anger among some Americans.The ad shows what the countries would look like if the Mexican-American war of 1848 had not taken place.Some posters on Something Awful have asked if an Absolut Vodka ad showing how Europe would have looked if the Nazis had won would have merited the same reaction.Interesting point.You can see the advert hereOf course, Absolut could be accused of using the Reconquista (which is a movement dedicated to granting ownership of areas in the Southwestern United States to Mexico, dominated by the Mexica Movement) to sell Vodka.Absolute's responsePR speak explanation.

It’s felt like quite a busy month here at TV’s Worst Adverts with plenty of new stuff to write about.

Could Cloverfield get any stranger? By the looks of this new advert for the film it seems so! This advert is for the fictional Slusho, a drink which has been used in the trailers for Cloverfield, has it’s own website and has appeared in episodes of Heroes.
Check out the new advert below. It won’t give you any more information about the Cloverfield/1-18-08 nor will it benefit your life. But, it’s a giant moose, in space - what more could you want?

As another month clocks over and as we head into the countdown to Christmas, we’re all feeling pretty good here at TV’s Worst Adverts.
Not because of the quality of adverts on the TV at the moment, obviously, there’s still some real stinkers, but because we’ve made it to 100 posts (for fear of some sort of Police investigation into reporting irregularities, I must admit that we’ve only had 88 posts directly about adverts but 100 posts is 100 posts in our eyes.)
To celebrate this achievement, Mike was kind/bored enough to write us a guest post. Read Mike’s most excellent guest post about the Audi R8 here if you haven’t already.
(Note: Without wishing to spoil the magic of TWA, I should point out that some of the content in Mike’s post is made up. No really, it is!)
So here’s this month’s top 5 bad ads:
Picture Loans - Dad’s Found Your Scooter

The Junior Doctor's ChoiceI note the conceited attitude presented by the British Medical Association yet again. Remedy are not the only people they banned. They also banned my material in the BMA News Review in the year 1999. The BMA Team had nothing to say when I asked why they had paid me for the piece, then hid it from the public eye. Now, I note they are giving the same treatment to Remedy UK in an attempt to curb their free speech. Lets face it, the BMA curb the free speech of anyone who is remotely a threat to them. We should note that the BMA opposed Remedy UK in their legal case against the Department of Health. Seriously, which conceited trade union would do that? It is of course time that all doctors deserted the BMA for good and joined Remedy UK. It is clear that the BMA is out of touch with the grass roots issues. Remedy UK may not be perfect but they are a better option than the BMA. Lets be blunt about this - the BMJ is useless, the BMA has always been useless ( apart fr
Do you remember what I wrote about a new advertisement platform, Advert-Revenue? Well, this is an announcement to tell that Advert-Revenue is nothing but over!
I tried to access the site after such a long time since I didn’t get a reply from the administrator about pop-up ads on Wayne Liew Dot Com. My browser is looking for the site but in the end, a “Server Not Found” message popped up in front of me.
I was dumbfounded but not for long. Why? This is because I always have bad luck with ad panels advertisement platforms. First, I have Google Adsense team which banned me for invalid clicks, then Adbrite confiscating all my previous earnings due to spam bots (I don’t know why they want to harm me), Advert-Revenue which is now closed and for other advertising platforms, I don’t really earn well with them.
For all those who signed up after reading my post, Advert Revenue - New Money Maker Review, I am sorry for that rather good review. That is a review which
