When Does Bad Advertising Equal Effective Publicity?

They say in the world of advertising, there is no such thing as bad publicity. As long as you evoke a passionate response from your audience, then you are getting their attention. But, when does lousy advertising equal good publicity? Apparently, when it is so hilarious that people can’t help but watch to see how much more ridiculous it gets.

Case in point, this commercial was submitted to YouTube and was later submitted to Reddit and received over 500 votes and gained over a hundred comments, and almost 200,000 views at the time I am writing this. I couldn’t help but wonder when it was going to end, and what their ad agency was smoking when they produced it. It is so unbelievable it almost seems like a parody. Just watch.

It’s just like, it’s just like, a mini mall! Hey, hey!
