I was thumbing through the first ever issue of PC Pro today, chortling at how young everyone looks and how much the state-of-art laptops of the day cost (£3,500, since you asked), when I came across this:

Quite possibly the most tasteless, ill-conceived and downright stupid advert for a PC company I’ve ever seen.

The company in question is called IPC Direct, which is, to the best of Google’s knowledge, no more: no doubt thanks to its genius advertising team.

Have you seen any worse? Let me know on comments below if so.
