Now, I know what you’re thinking—where can I get a total pushover client like that? But there’s a bigger issue here—ad agency malpractice. If there is such a thing, this wasn’t it.

Salon called it the ad from hell.

Just For Feet made its own blunders as well, though the Saatchi ad certainly didn't help matters. You really gotta wonder how this got to the point where it actually played on tv. Didn't anyone notice that it was iffy, or did everyone suffer from nurse's syndrome (where you assume whatever's being done is ok because someone 'more important' said so, the way nurses will usually administer medications as per doctor's orders even if it seems wrong/unusual)?
