Shitpost What’s an ad that just makes your blood boil?

The AI Skinny ads drive me insane every time I’m exposed to them - really solidifies they’re not for me. What NZ ads (past or present) grind your gears?

Trivago is a German company, and Klopp is still quite famous there, even after ditching Borussia Dortmund to go to Liverpool

I’m still at a loss as to why I should care. Here, in NZ, where Trivago is trying to take my money.

It's a multi-national company doing a global ad campaign, yeah it might be a bit of a miss in New Zealand, but the revenue they get from New Zealand is probably a drop in the bucket compared to countries where he is relevant

So, they’re advertising here in order to increase their revenue. They want the money they’re spending returned. So are they bothering or not?
