Is there a word for an advertisement that does the exact opposite in what it’s trying to accomplish? Like one of those long ultra-specific German words?

Closer, but remember that this is meant to be a German word, so I instead propose: Advertisementthatdoestheexactoppositeinwhatit’s tryingtoaccomplish.

This is bullshit.

I’ve been on the new word committee for years and you didn’t even entertain a second suggestion. I’m voting you off the board as soon your term is up.
