Worst Ad Ever

This gets my vote for worst Adwords ad ever. They are bidding on 'medical insurance' in the UK:

Private Care To Die For
Insure the health of your family.
Private Medical Care from £5pm!
moneysupermarket.com/medical_ins

Sorry gazjones! I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that most people don't like it when death is mentioned along with medical insurance. 'Private Care To Live For' might be more appealing. But...hey if you have a decent CPA (less than £25) then I'm the one with egg on my face.

Slightly detracted from the point, but i saw a classic once.

A friend of mine was searching for different methods of insamination.. a sad truth that some people are unable to bring life into this world without a little help. She came accross an article about plastic fallopian tube transplants, and immediatly hit google for a Search of "plastic fallopian tubes"

In the sponsored section ebay launched an ad;

Truly shocking. Worst of all the treatment was a myth.

I'm surprised someone hasn't sued Ebay yet:

Disturbing thought isn't it... still, at least I was there to explain to her why these things happen, i can imagine in some cases the results of eBays automatic bidding tactics could be quite disturbing, if not outright offensive for some fragile or vulnerable users.
