Time for a new newsletter! Click through for:
• Amazon adverts - 'a work of such obscene propaganda that George Orwell came back to life, gave a Reith Lecture on the redundancy of his entire body of work and threw himself into an Amazon cardboard shredder in protest.'
From 2010 to 2019 I asked people to vote for the worst advert of the year. Then I wrote about those adverts. In the newsletter this week are the winners year by year. If you let me know what the absolute worst one was in the comments we can crown the worst ad of the 2010s.
So, is there a more annoying current advert than the Lenor Outdoorables effort? let me know in the comments so I can slay it on my newsletter at https://t.co/0AnARxIs1Q - remember that free subscribers get it first!
“Most people who dislike this advert suggest it’s because it’s genuinely unsettling. The ad inhabits not just an uncanny valley, but an uncanny island, forest, mountain region – possibly a whole uncanny country of a country the size of Belgium.”
75 official complaints for this spot according to regular reader Essie. Here’s my take in the new newsletter, plus Mariah Carey fingering her crisps, Tory adventures in being down with the kids and one of the best training videos you’ll ever see.
