Has anyone ever experienced advertising backfiring?

there is a phenomenon in advertising, when I witness an ad that is just too far over the top annoying, stupid, pointless, repetitive, obnoxious, or whatever, that I want to kill it.

I want to see a truck wearing that branding get flipped on the highway

I want that site to get slaughtered by a DDOS attack

I want the product to be recalled.

I want to hide that product when I see it in the store, behind 40 lb bags of dogfood.

I recently felt this way being forced to endure the Latisse commercials on Hulu. Prescription medicine for “inadequate eyelashes”

Have you ever felt this way about a product or ad campaign? If so which ones? Is there a specific term for this?

—Specifically I’m talking about the guy who just spammed all the Fluther posts.—
