Shocking

During our daily searches, we’ve come across a trend that’s been occurring quite frequently lately.

More brands are indeed opting to use extreme shockvertising tactics [surprise surprise] but better yet, gruesome gore, in order to get their messages across.Perhaps the world is so desensitised that the only thing left to attract attention is the strategy of shock.

So, in spirit of this [...and cause we didn't know what else to do with this stuff] we’ve put together a list of our all-time favorite top 10 shockingly gruesome and gory adverts. Viewer discretion is advised…
