subvertisement 

Subvertising refers to the practice of making spoofs or parodies of corporate and political advertisements in order to make a statement. This can take the form of a new image, or an alteration to an existing image. A subvertisement can also be referred to as meme hack and can be a part of social hacking or culture jamming.

According to AdBusters, a Canadian magazine and a leading proponent of counter-culture and subvertising, "A well produced 'subvert' mimics the look and feel of the targeted ad, promoting the classic 'double-take' as viewers suddenly realize they have been duped. Subverts create cognitive dissonance. It cuts through the hype and glitz of our mediated reality and, momentarily, reveals a deeper truth within."

Man, I'd love to make a subvertisement of that smug as fuck new McFlurry ad.

scabvertisement 

Website ads featuring nasty skin conditions. The ads are usually — but not always — on medical information sites like WebMD. This is not in any way to cast in a bad light the people who have the conditions, because anyone is susceptible to viral, fungal, and bacterial infections, as well as cancer. But most people, including those with the condition, would agree that it's kind of hard to look at.

How do I turn off this horrible scabvertisement?

sadvertisement 

An ad that you see that makes you sad and take pity so you buy stuff.

"Mum, look! That goldfish only has one eye! Can we adopt it? Pleeeeeaaaase?"
"No, darling, it's just a sadvertisement. Don't buy into it."
