You! Win Some Misfits Goodies! Now!
There's a new show starting on E4 tonight. Misfits, it's called. It's a bit like Skins and a bit like Heroes, we're told. Except, crucially, better than both of those two things. And to mark this obviously prestigious moment, we've got a very special Misfits competition for you. One of you is going to win two orange Misfits T-shirts - a large and an extra-large - and a painfully exclusive Misfits comicbook. How's that for blinding generosity, huh? And you want to win all this Misfits stuff, don't you? Of course you do, you're only human. The question's after the jump...

Badvertising – McDonald’s, Coming Back For A Big Mac
McDonald's seems to appear again and again on this feature. Before you all think we must have got food poisoning off them once and subsequently hate Ronald McDonald, we don’t. Honestly, their advertising is just complete and utter pants. Nowadays, they have improved, but we’re still unconvinced that farmers hug all the cows before slashing their throats. This time we’re travelling back to merry old 1978 where everyone in this advert seemed to be quite posh. Maybe McDonald's wanted us to believe that people with class dined in their restaurants and not just scummy kids who’d steal the free straws, napkins and packets of sauce. Contain yourself, it’s after the jump...

David Letterman Has Sex With A Woman, Gets Extorted For $2 Million
You should sit down for this, because it'll shock you to your very core: David Letterman had sex with a woman once. Tell your friends. You may as well tell your friends, anyway, because it's not like the information is worth anything now. A couple of days ago you could have got $2 million for possessing the information that David Letterman had sex with a woman once, but not any more. Not after some idiot bungled his extortion plot against Letterman and ended up getting charged with attempted grand larceny. Still, though - David Letterman had sex with a woman once. Bleurgh.

Jennifer Aniston ‘Sings’ A ‘Song’ To Ellen DeGeneres
Jennifer Aniston has grown tired of promoting her movies with endless barbed attacks on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. So she's moved on. However, Jennifer Aniston isn't one to rest on her laurels, so she's spent months devising an even more effective way to publicise her new movie Love Happens. And it's brilliant. Banging on about her ex-husband all the time might be annoying, you see, but it doesn't actually cause physical pain. But singing a song on TV? Bingo! That's both annoying and excruciating! The video's after the jump. That's not a reminder - more a stark, stark warning.

Badvertising – Dynamo Washing Powder
Unless you’re Michael Jackson, Gary Glitter or Jonathan King the beginning of the advert for Dynamo Washing Powder won’t do much for you. Last time we remembered, watching children taking their clothes off is just a little bit wrong. But who are we to judge when we smother dog food across our genitals for some easy loving? Maybe there is a market for paedophile washing up powder. It’ll get those greasy stains right off. Even the white ones.

Here’s An Ashes To Ashes Trailer For You To Look At
Did you watch the last series of Ashes To Ashes? We didn't. We meant to but, you know, we forgot, and then when we finally did get round to watching an episode we didn't really have a clue what was going on or anything. But luckily, a brand-new invention called 'the DVD' has just been launched, allowing you to watch entire TV series in one go. Plus you can smear peanut butter on them and they still work. According to Tomorrow's World in like 1985 or something. Anyway, the rather fabulous Ashes To Ashes series two DVD trailer is after the jump...
