I think the pig slicing himself up is the winner. As for the movie "In Bruges", that city one of my favorite in Europe. Maybe I'll try to find that! Then again it may ruin my memories.....

I've always thought the most disturbing ad was the Quizino's with the two little "rat creatures" in it. I would find my self pushing my plate away if I was eating, and my throat tightening up. I never could figure out why a restaurant would even want the public to think they were familiar with little "rat creatures" let alone have tamed them enough to use as a spokesman.

did you ever see the quiznos ad where the lady pulls the wrapper out of a garbage can and starts licking it?
Why would you ever associate a garbage can with your food product?

Besides, garbage cans are for holding tongs on the line, aren't they?

The last 1 with the pig slicing itself is gonna give me nightmares for the next week or 2. That is just totally disturbing.
