9997: WTF DDB NY.

DDB NY demonstrates extraordinary cultural cluelessness with this PSA hyping safe sex to seniors. Could there possibly be a more irrelevant—and downright ignorant—way to communicate to the audience? DDB NY CCO Matt Eastwood said, “It was important for us that our creative response felt empowering to the 55, 60, 65+ demographic. Whether the younger generation likes it or not, our grandparents are having sex. We wanted to make a sexy ad that maintains a level of tastefulness and encourages seniors to enjoy their sex lives—safely.” Yo, douche bag, you failed miserably. The spot feels like the perverted fantasy of a drunken frat boy. Oddly enough, the key creatives responsible for this shameful shit are women. Somebody sign up these assholes for The Pitch. And why is the Black granny depicted with multiple partners?

9887: The Shaming Of The Shrews.

DDB Chicago must employ lots of men with overly suspicious wives and girlfriends—or philanderers channeling their adulterous guilt through commercial productions. These spots for McDonald’s Shamrock Shake and State Farm Insurance show the pattern, as well as display a latent disrespect and dislike for women. Oh, and the commercials are contrived shit too. Wonder if the clients realize their agency is creatively cheating on them.

9633: Big Mac In Black And White.

This Mickey D’s Big Mac and Snack Wrap spot created by a Black ad agency inspired YouTube comments like “Flava in Ya Ear, Diabetes in Ya Body,” and “[G]reat way to get Black and Latino people to keep eating poison. They can jig to ‘flava in ya ear’ while stacking pounds.”



This Big Mac and Snack Wrap spot created by a White ad agency just inspires WTF.
