Stop that Adman!

It was awful, it was for an ad for some company selling doors over the Internet. I'd never read anything so asinine in my whole life. The idea was that me and this guy who's supposed to be my boyfriend are in an apartment having this huge fight -- I mean he's shouting at me and insulting me and just being a bastard for about two minutes, until I storm off and slam the door behind me. And then the slogan is, "Doors. It's good to leave."
