Election For The Worst Ad

Election For The Worst Ad

“Every time I saw that ad on TV. the first thought was an election for the worst ad. Certainly, this ad could be nominated for a prize in ugliness and might  be the champion, ha, ha.” si upik laughed. But which ad, no one will know. It’s si Upik’s “Kitchen Secret” (Rahasia Dapur) as not to hurt, offend the owner.

 

So, when there were really such an election one would exert his best to have his ad attractive, pleasing to the eye. Who would want his ad to be nominated as bad, ugly, unsightly, hateful to the viewer?

I like the ad with a crippled, hopping plane who luckily landed safely on the ship  and the pilot limping, luckily falls safely in a net instead of in the sea.

“It’s a pity” said si Upik. “If I were the designer, I would make him fall, and fall, and not realizing, he wouldn’t fall in the sea, but fall, just guess, … in the arms of a goal keeper, eh, helplessly in the arms …  of a lovely angel. That would be really lucky” said si Upik.
