I'm Sure Revelation Mentions Something About an Eagle Arriving...

OK, it's not fair to pick on ads that have a budget of $3.50, but this one was so pathetic, it had to be posted. Sure, the sound doesn't sync up, but that's the least of this spot's problems.

Yeah. Wow.

In the background, I can practically see the teleprompter the women are reading from. And the middle-aged white man who wrote the ad.

OK, so maybe it's difficult to advertise a job fair when your CEO has Jungle Fever and has forced you to cast porn actresses. But it shouldn't be that hard to create a sensible PSA against "Drunk Driving". Yet so many of these ads are hilarious. Many of the ones in this series make you want to kill the person talking. I've posted my favorite before but I also particularly enjoy this one, mainly because I expect the driver to pull over and beat the woman and then the screen to go black and display the following text: "No matter how annoying someone is, you can't beat them. Ever. Violence is always wrong."

Another awful thing is how much this seems a bad audition monologue or one side of a cell phone conversation ("I love you! - NO! NO! How dare you say that! What?! That's terrible!") - the woman seems to be reacting to nothing in particular... You'd think the arm, er, man could say something to move this thing along. Did they not have the budget to pay the guy to speak?

(Note, after I found this ad, I continued to Google PSAs (I'm a sucker for punishment, clearly) and found someone who also thought the above was an abomination and had some pretty amusing observations.)

But once again, right after, I encountered relativity. In comparison to the next ad, the above one is a coherent, linear work, worthy of a CLIO.

I challenge you to be able to utter anything after viewing this ad besides "WTF?!!!" or "I wish I saw that on LSD":
