Yaya's dancing incurs the wrath of MSNBC
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. |

In what has become my favorite phrase of the week, "It's just a fucking ad!", this is yet another WTF??? I watched the ad before reading the MSNBC piece and I was like what? Huh? What's wrong with this ad? I better read to find out. Jesus. I thought I was the King of making something out of nothing. I officially hand the reigns over to MSNBC Ads of the Weird for truly trumping anyone who has ever tried to elevate the mundane to the salaciously spectacular.

Looks like one of them scrambling, 11th hour "Hey, we need something in an hour" editorials.
