This commercial for a mall is so horrible, it's actually turned out to one of the best advertisements the mall could do. Let me explain.

If you watch the commercial, it's not well produced, the characters are not particularly good actors or singers (it's said they're real owners or employees and shoppers) but maybe that's the point.

You need to look no further than Rebecca Black's video 'Friday' to see how something bad can turn someone, or in this case something, into a hot topic.

This terrible commercial for East Hills Mall in St. Joseph, Missouri has gotten so much free publicity it has turned out to be some of the best advertising the mall could do since people just have to see how bad it really is.

It remains to be seen if bad is actually good for the mall's business, but it sure has grabbed a lot of attention.
