What are your choices (and why) from Consumerist's shortlist of Worst Ad In America 2010, in each of the following six categories?
Click here for links to the actual videos: http://consumerist.com/2010/09/vote-here鈥?/a> ; and you can vote in their poll.
(On a personal note, I think Allstate's Mr Mayhem is subversively brilliant, in a Palahniuk way.
And even the ads that grate stick in your mind, so while they may be annoying, they are effective at being ads.)
