February 2009′s TV’s Worst Adverts Award
28 February 2009 by Silky
These are exciting times here at TV’s Worst Adverts. March marks the 2nd anniversary of TWA first donkey punching the worst in UK TV adverts. Although on a down note, they do call them the terrible 2′s so maybe there won’t be much to look forward to in the next 12 months.
Anyways, as a special birthday present to you all, the ASA were very kind and banned the Flora Buttery advert with Gary Rhodes. Apparently they thought that Flora’s fast and loose use of “statistics” was likely to mislead just about everybody in Britain – except for you clever things who read TWA, of course.
Good old ASA.
Without further ado, here’s February’s top 5 worst adverts, as voted for by you:
- Picture Loans – Dad’s Found Your Scooter
- The Skills Centre – Tony?
- Sky+ – Utter Simplicity
- DFS – Nickleback Rockstar Part II
- Picture Loans – An Adult Conversation
So, after a one month absence Picture Loans reclaim the TV’s Worst Adverts top spot.
