On a related issue. Cheap internet provider ads.
Now keep in mind I think like this. Ads are supposed to trick you into buying their product by dazzling you with the wonderfulness of their presentation. Like the ad, buy the product. So In all fairness I take the position that if I hate their ad I don't care how great their product is I won't buy it. Seems fair, try to persuade me and stuff it up, they lose.
There is a ISP here in Australia that offers cheap broadband. I have been happy with my ISP despite what I was just saying. It's not a big issue, i've learnt to check occasionally. They have an ad where their annoying mascot chats away with the eye candy flogging their stuff. Till recently it's just been some aspiring model/actress. Nothing worth my attention. Now they decided to spice it up by giving the impression they're great because they can get a celebrity to sell their service. What celebrity do they jet in for the week to throw the ad together. Tara Reid!. They're so cheap they don't even splurge on PH (of course her rep has gone down lately, but this was clearly filmed months ago) they use the cheap 2nd rate knockoff, who clearly thinks she's important enough to be considered. She jets down here, says some lines a guy off camera is whispering and then asks for her money. I mean you know the mascot is just some animated effect but her eyes could at least be made to look in the right direction, rather than just hideously made up.
I find it slightly hilarious, appalling and capable of destroying any interest I might have had in their service
