Hard to believe that a year’s gone by, but we’re back looking and laughing at 2011’s worst ads as polled and posted by Consumerist.com. That’s right, the second annual Worst Ad in America Awards have been announced and there are some surprises in the pack of winners. The ads populating (some may say plaguing) the television screens of this country have been rated and it ain’t pretty.
“The first year, I researched and comment-called every involved agency I could find. None would provide an official quote, though I did get yelled at for 90 minutes by a publicist from a top 5 agency who accused me of unfairly targeting their clients,” says Chris Morran, Consumerist senior editor. No surprise. If you’d created any one of these spots, would you return the call?
