Championship game:
Dexter’s viral campaign vs. Pioneer’s laughing-eye ads.
Dexter’s viral campaign made a murderous late charge in the Final Four and left the Lost Jaw guy with egg on his already-overtaxed face. Now, it faces Pioneer’s creepy eye-mouths, which shut down the dairy dreams of Skittles’ milked man. Which one will be crowned the Freakiest Advertising Moment of 2007?
UPDATE: And the winner is Dexter! See the vote totals here.
