Bad Advertising...

[humpbackmaniac]

I don't work in advertising and I am probably not the target audience for most that I see but does bad advertising throughly annoy other people as much as me?

This morning for example, arrived an email from Nat***t Business Department with a nice picture of a cricketer hitting a ball hard. With the Question below it "Tell us if we are hitting a home run!"

Now, not only is that mighty distasteful given the sad news today but also we are not American. Who thinks this stuff up, gets it signed off by a superior who thinks its a good idea, then release's in to the public domain hoping it will win them praise and or business?

Maybe I'm just old and grumpy now but what a complete waste of time and effort. Dont even get me started on Calgon Tablets......I mean just say they don't wreck my washing, thats all I want to know, the washing machine costs less than whats in it most of the time...grrr.
