The Worst Ads Of 2013
- USA Today, Friday, December 27, 2013 9:44 AM
These five ads, writes Bruce Horovitz, are either stupid, gross, tasteless, insulting, use unacceptable stereotypes. "And virtually all of them insult the intelligence of viewers — even mine." Number five was Kmart's "Ship My Pants" by FCBDraft, Chicago; four was Hyundai's British ad in which a guy tries to commit suicide by piping his car exhaust into the garage, except it's a fuel cell car that emits water vapor.; number three is for a product called Poo-Pourri, which you spray in the bowl before you poop; Mountain Dew's "Lineup" ad, where the company made what has been called the most racist ad ever; GoDaddy's "Perfect Match" ad is deemed the worst.
