Hasta La Creative!

Sometimes it seems that mainstream ad critics just don’t have the kind of unjustified bile and righteous indignation that we bloggers have honed so well. So, it was nice to see MSNBC’s Ads of the Weird firing with both barrels at this Dr. Scholl’s ad featuring America’s Next Top Model (runner-up) Yaya DaCosta. Personally, I doubt I would have even noticed this chaotic 15-second blip, which MSNBC says is “so wrong in so many ways that it’s hard to know where to begin.” Specifically, they seem to despise DaCosta’s chicken-wing dancing style, which is surely the same free-form freakout she used to land a job dancing with Antonio Banderas.
