Top 10 Creepiest Ads Of All Time (SmithKline Wins)

Oct. 7, 2008

Or, at least that's what they're calling this collection over at the Weird News blog.

Interesting that seven of 10 are for manufactured products, and the majority of those are for cigarettes (surprise, cough, surprise).

However, the one that I'd declare the winner is this truly bizarre pharma ad from SmithKline (although I'm not sure whether I actually think it's the winner, or if I'm just afraid of the guy).
