Monday’s Advertising We Hate: Sanjaya, PleaseGoDieYa

By / /

It took a year-and-a-half for this ad for Nationwide Insurance to break featuring American Idol super douche Sanjaya. Wow, do we hate it. It’s so front-heavy setting up the concept, then it blows through the end without giving you time to process it. (We know that’s kind of the idea, but the pacing is really shotty.) And the line “Life comes at you fast” – does that really pay off the set-up? Thumbs down from The Egotist.

    I think it’s a fun ad. It’s a little over-the-top, but that’s how these ads are supposed to be. I love Sanjaya. Idol has been boring without him. He has new music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKYk83sGgGk&feature=user
