The 'Midas' Skittles ad is one of my favourite ads of all time.
A perfect mix of dark humour and surrealism. It's perhaps that I don't watch TV much at all anymore, but I can't help feeling that advertising has lost a great deal of its edge over the past 10 years or so. Possibly due to the Moral Outrage culture that seems to be gathering steam at a frightening pace.
Remember Points of View? That was the sort of moral outrage I could get behind. None of this Hunsnet Social Media Campaign nonsense. Just good old Margeret in Winslow upset because somebody said "Bugger" before the watershed.
