mc_squared Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Most irritating advert? This one is beyond compare... but the ones featuring Iggy Pop and Johnny Rotten are also up there By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 10:02 AM on 18th January 2010 Comments (42) Add to My Stories An Italian opera singer with a comedy moustache selling car insurance has topped a poll to find last year's most irritating advertisement.

You can't please all the people all of the time.' Meanwhile, the magazine reports a Halifax bank advertisement set in an imaginary radio station is already among the most cringeworthy of 2010.
