The votes are in - in the UK, the ten most irritating ads have been "chosen" by the consumers who watch them.

Apparently, no one can bear the annoying "go on, go on, go on" Mrs Doyle from the Inland revenue tax ads, but wish she would just go away go away go away...
Two in five people questioned in the Adwatch poll, conducted for Marketing magazine, said they could not bear the advert.

Melanie Blatt used a 'stunt bum' in TV advert.

She stars in an advert featuring drunken workers at an office party photocopying their body parts.

But the bottom seen in the advert for Virgin Mobile does not belong to the former All Saint, instead it belongs to an "unknown model".

This holiday season, Spork Design of Columbus, Ohio dished out a most tasty and well-endowed interpretation of the classic agency Christmas card.

View it here, and sorry ladies -- they're booked solid at the Blue Oyster Club for the next two months ;-)

Hot stuff! Bea Arthur would be proud.

For those of you already suffering from severe adcritic withdrawel I might recommend watching Swedish TV commercials at the site called http://www.kaminsky.nu.
Lots and lots of quite surreal, good and bad films to go through. Widen your broadband experience with foreign commercials. No subtitles - often the joke is international and in some cases the dialougue is in English. Do not click on the non-existent read more link - there is no more to read.

ps - they also have trailers.

Apparently, all the advertising and traffic in the world still won't keep a website alive these days.

According to dotcom death chronicler fuckedcompany.com , AdCritic.com has found that it's uncommercial and pulled the plug.

A lack of response from their URL confirms this.
