Another pointless mobile operator ad!

It’s Friday so it’s Bad Ads time. This week sees the return of one of my ‘favourite’ sectors for yawn-inducing technology advertising, mobile network operators.

The guilty party this week is Vodafone. Can we just make it clear Vodafone, that if you REALLY were in the business of helping people to get closer to the ones they love at Christmas, you would have invented something like Facebook. Neither does the phrase that you no doubt paid someone far too much money for, “power to you”, mean anything at all. Whatsoever.

Yes, your turkey ad is mildly diverting (and it does seem to be very popular with vegans) – but was there any need to spend your money on this stuff – hands up anyone who says yes. Yawn…
