There are many advertisements on TV, some are great, but others are really disappointing. Today, I want to talk about an advertisement that I find awful. It's about a toilet cleaner, and it's just heartbreaking. I saw it when I was in 12th grade, while watching a movie. I have a condition that makes me nauseous and sensitive to disturbing visuals, and this advertisement triggered that. It made me feel really sick, and I think it could negatively affect people's brains. The advertisement shows dirty toilets, and the camerawork focuses on these disgusting details, which is just pathetic. I always try to avoid watching it. On top of that, the visual effects and graphics are terrible. Overall, my experience with this advertisement was extremely negative.
