This thread serves as the flipside to the "Awesome Ads" thread by Stagfish. How? For hosting the worst and most downright repulsive ads ever to crawl out of the brains of deranged ideas people. To start with, we've got this
GODAWFUL charming little number here-

I've suffered long enough, now it's your turn.

Any beauty product advert. Stink of fixed "surveys" and money thrown at pro models who can't act as (supposedly) good as they look.
Don't even need to watch it a second time to know any "real people" speaking parts are over-acted BS. I'm pretty sure in some they lip-sync, and horribly too.

Too bloody right.
And then there's this.

This sexist, pointless piece of crap does make you wonder, really. If the roles were reversed, it would never had made it on the air due to the amount of complaints, yet because men are portrayed as gormless, retarded buffoons, it's OK.
-
Huh.. never saw that one before. I guess it was pulled and replaced with the less offensive one but still stereotypical/sexist that I've actually seen.
Unless this because before that.
Horrible quality too.

Well, it's just like racism nowadays. Black people can be racist to white people, but when a white person is racist to a black person.. Ooh, no. It's the exact same with women and men now.
-
Screw society.
-
Definitely. I mean, look back at the dark ages. Men were considered superior to women...now look at today. If you're a White, Healthy, Able-bodied British/American man, you're considered a second class citizen.

Axe. Nuff said.

"Double Standard" is the word you're looking for.

BUMP?
I hate the new Ford Fiesta ads, especially this one:

It makes you think that buying the car will save you from a zombie! How the heck did the zombie get into the woman's car?

Oh and this one pisses me off too. The woman leaves her friend stranded in the woods, and calls to say, "When's dinner?"
-
Zombie Survival Guide? I've got the original book!
And from looking at the Fiesta ad, I can see why it annoys you. From one view, I want to slap that annoying tart!

P-p-p-page breaker.
I hate these commercials. State Farm couldn't have picked a guy with a more cocky and condescending undertone.
"We've got more people than everyone else, so that makes us better."

"State farm is so great, I'm not going to let you say sh*t."

Also, they like to use bringing your own bagged lunch as how people save money.

Oh, and if you haven't noticed they use the same boring music for every commercial.

And he's got a gay haircut to top it off. Ouch!
