Who comes up with this shit?

Think bad TV ads, think god awful billboards, think self opinionated fashionistas.

This is where we review awful tv advertising, bad billboards and horrendous product and service promotions, or the occasional horrendous fashion item.

Have you ever been sitting in your living room watching TV and watched an advert and thought; "Who comes up with this shit?" Well we have, many times.

We have a passion for marketing, advertising and branding. Packaging and Billboards, film and fashion are our passion.

If you have seen a terrible ad, billboard or product promotion, please get in touch and send them in to us!

What's on the top of your shit list?

Find me on...

I’m on the tube platform. I’m on my way home. I’m full of Christmas reverie. I smell of whisky, and cinnamon, and fags. My eyes are heavy with alcohol. I watch two dusty mice scuttle between the train tracks, fighting over an abandoned Burger King. It glistens with fat. In my sobreness I would show disdain for Burger King, but tonight, with my tiredness and drunkenness, it looks unctious and juicy, and I yearn for it. I stumble my head upwards and try and focus…

“The.. dead of… winter. All is.. silent *hic*.. The …world hushshshed by a thick covering of snow… strident flavours.. dank mush*burp*rooms… crispy goose fat… ”

I read it again.. trying to distill the images that are being painted before me. I try and imagine why mushrooms have waited patiently in a fridge, why goose fat is considered “crisp”, and how something can be ‘dusky’ and 'clean and bright’ at the same time..

And also, to decide 'Who writes like this? This cod-romantic pennyfiffle? This prosaic fannyflap , like they’ve been fucked in the brain by the spastic seed of Alan Bennett? Who has come up with this shit?“

I glance to the bottom, the centre, the middle.

That knobjockey, Nigel Slater, that’s who!
