Default Worst TV Commercial Ever!

One of the most disturbing television commercials I've ever seen!

When you click on the link, go to the right and click "Special Web Video"...

Yours, Mike

When that commercial came out I went down to the Kia dealer here and told them if they could not sing the song in the commercial I would not buy thier product, and I may even file a law suit for false advertisement(Singing car salespeople HA!){All dressed in uniform HA!}

Well they couldn't and they said I was an ass for even asking them to perform...

I took my money and bought a really nice 2nd hand car, so I would not have a bank note over my head, from an elderly man I have known for 26 years.

BUNK! New cars... they are to expensive and if they break down they are to computerized to fix.
but thats another story

I hate a good 90% of TV adverts they really get my goat for one reason or another.

Those Picture Loan adverts are an insult to my intelligence but people must be either gullible or desperate otherwise they wouldn't be on the gogglebox every bloody day !

I always thought of this commercial as the worst ever. Singing dead rats advertising for food.

Default Head On Commercials

@ nedwreck - Yeah, those Head On commercials have to be some of the worst ones ever conceived, IMO. I wonder if they actually convince anyone to actually buy the product?

Quote:
Chemical analysis has shown that the product consists almost entirely of wax. The two listed active ingredients, white bryony (a type of vine) and potassium dichromate, are diluted to .000001 PPM and 1 PPM respectively.[2] This amount of dilution is so great that the product is arguably a placebo.[3] However, the package does list menthol as an inactive ingredient; menthol is one of the active ingredients of Vicks VapoRub.
Well they had to find a way to sell forehead wax I guess.
