1. Bad Ad Power Point Presentation

2. McDonalds Baby Ad
This ad was in Lucky Magazine, I think
it is very offensive. The way
McDonalds puts a little baby in the
picture, painting him from head to toe
and using the baby to sell their
product. Not only the fact that the
product they were selling is a product
that causes obesity it also is extremely
offensive.

3. Anti Tobacco Products got
too far.
This ad that has been published in multiple
magazines and showed on commercial and
has had a lot of publicity. Although the
message is for anti-tobacco, the way that the
company publishes the ad is confusing and
hard to read. In other words their execution
of the ad was awful. They do not put in the
lower portion of the ad the anti-tobacco sign
making it confusing and hard to read.

4. This ad is for Svedka
Vodka. The reason this is a bad ad
is because if it did not have the
vodka bottle at the bottom of the
page you would never know it
was a vodka ad. They give a
sexual appearance to a robot
which they did not need to put in,
they also say that the robot
should take the place of your next
wife. This implies people having a
second wife divorcing the first
which is sending the wrong
message.

5. Burger uses Sexual
Innuendo to sell their
Product
This is only a picture of the
original ad but it consists of Paris Hilton, a
notorious party girl (not a very good
influence). Wearing an inappropriate
bikini washing a car. Sexual innuendo is
implied and while she is doing this she
was eating a hamburger from a big name
fast food restaurant. This ad is too racy
and also makes no sense.

6. Mountain Dew’s Senseless
ad.
This commercial does not
make any sense at all. It is suppose to be
about Mountain Dew, a soda known for
high sugar contents makes you do
spontaneous stuff. They show this by
having two average guys drinking
Mountain Due and randomly getting
tattoos of an eagle on their body. And
then having their boss drink a mountain
Dew and screech like an eagle.

7. Old Navy Mannequins
In my opinion an ad
company should not make their ads
annoying. If Old Navy’s goal is to grab
our attention by having an annoying
ad the annoying part is working. But
the ad is definitely not making me
want to buy their products. The last
time I checked Old Navy was a coed
store, but having female mannequins
is totally making me think that Old
Navy is more of a female store.

8. Geico-Losing its Thunder?
Geico is notorious for
having funny commercials whether its
with the gecko or the cavemen ads. But
this really in my opinion does not get the
message across. I think that if an ad
should be funny it should at least have
the point clear in it. This ad does not have
a point and is confusing. And in my
opinion isn't really that funny.

9. MacDonald's Tries to go
Healthy
IT is a nation wide fact that
MacDonald’s is an extremely unhealthy
meal. MacDonald's launched this ad
making the statement that MacDonald’s
is made with all natural ingredients. This
is extremely wrong and I hope no one
actually thinks that MacDonald’s is
healthy. This ad is untrue and pathetic.

10. Cigarette Co. Avoid Health
issue.
This is a stupid ad, I don’t
know what Marlboro is trying to imply, that
Marlboro is smoked by tough cowboys or
that it is made from all natural substances.
Which is completely stupid. And look in the
lower right hand corner of the ad, that
microscopic writing is the health warning. I
feel the cigarette company is intentionally
putting the writing small, maybe trying to kill
as many people as possible. Anyhow this ad
is confusing, stupid, and dangerous.

11. Creepy Modern Magician
This ridiculous local ad has been a
laughing issue, this commercial is
extremely loud. Probably to grab your
attention. The hip hop magician has a
cool modern version of magic, but in
the ad he looks like a creepy, run down
magician with an annoying voice and
terrible tricks.

12. Planters Peanut Ad: Pass
or fail
This peanut ad was funny in
a sense, but in a business standpoint it
was a failure. The ad consisted of a
hideous woman rubbing herself with
peanuts so guys can hit on her. I don’t
know what planters peanuts was trying to
say, that their peanuts turn men on or
that it makes a pretty good perfume.
Either way this ad is not very enticing.

13. Axe Ad: too inappropiate?
In this Axe body wash
and scrubber ad the commercial
consists of woman scrubbing down
a naked man with their product, and
like all Axe ads it is way too sexual
and at points offensive.

14. Stupid Fantasy Old Spice
Ad
I have no idea what
this ad is trying to say, that if you
use Old Spice you will turn into a
centaur and have women hitting
on you, or that Old Spice is used
by mythical creatures. Either way
it is a stupid and senseless ad.

15. Volvo: The Same Wrong
Ads After forty years
This is an ad from a
different generation of Volvo ads. But it is
still the same type of ad that Volvo
usually has. It’s border line at best, Volvo
usually has ads saying how they are more
safe and that their cars are less
expensive. Although this ad is forty years
old it still is the same Volvo ad. This ad is
untrue and that is why this is a bad ad.
