PC Pro issue 1 advert

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.
