I don't mean like scams or anything like that. I mean what's the ad that has done the worst job as an advertisement? Instead of making you want to buy the product you wanted to avoid it.

Papa John's always showed some of the most revolting looking pizza in their ads, and I know ads are usually doctored to make the food look better so if that's what it looked like in the ad there was no way in hell I was coming into one of those places to get a pizza.
