Take a song that everyone hated so much that they watched it on YouTube eight million times. Add a singer displaying classic "bad consumer" behavior—shoving an elderly woman, stealing merchandise out of a fellow shopper's cart—and you have an ad so awful that people can't stop talking about it. Well, complaining
