over several months now, from time to time, some really stupid
advertising-texts appear on tv (i watch german channels only,
since i have a satelite-receiver). at first i didn't notice how
stupid they are, but after listening and realising the meaning,
they really turn out to be total crap concerning the message
they have. here are just a few i remember, but be asured there
are much much more. all those ads were in german, so i added a
translated version too - i hope i got it as precise as possible.
* "endlos surfen bis 30.09."
("endless surfing until 30th of september.")
by t-mobile, august/september 2007
* "wir haben alles gegeben - und jetzt geben wir den rest!"
("we gave it all, and now we'll give the rest!")

* "die groesste technologische innovation, auf die ein urin-
strahl treffen kann!"

on" - taken from the english version)

if you think that all those examples are just pretty ok, and not
disturbing at all, you might have already been brainwashed by the
stupidity of advertising, which is... bad for you (but good for
advertising agencies)!
