Dear Fida,

 

This was the worst visual ad I saw in my life:

 

Doctor sign

 

 

As you can see a doctor who has experience in more than five specialties at the same time ..This is impossible and Very dangerous for patients.

and this was the worst announcement I see in the newspaper.

As per my views its very tough to answer this question, as i personally think & believe no advertisiment which is legally correct is bad.

We cansider it bad or worst because we at our own sometimes fails to understand the message being given by the advertisement and we call that advt as worst or not so good. This may happen because of "X" number of reason associated with it for ex. place location, socio-economic conditions & so on.

Time of launch of on advertisement also play an important role for its sucess.
