Royal Caribbean has been advertising a lot lately, and every time I see one of their cruise ship ads, I remember that the campaign once won an “award” for worst use of music:
The big winner, submitted by dozens and dozens of you, is Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, which used Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life” in a series of spots. As my reader Andrei put it, “Nothing says maritime comfort like a song about shooting up junk.”
This poll is a couple of years old, but most of these ad campaigns are still running, leading me to believe that either the ad execs involved didn’t know or didn’t care.
