So make your choices among the Worst Ad in America 2010 nominations from The Consumerist website. Vote from this list, which includes videos if you're into further self-torture.

Other categories include Creepiest Commercial (Mr. Mayhem, definitely; or is it "no more used catheters"?), Most Grating Performance by a Human, Celebrity Who Must Have Lost Most Money in Housing Crash, and the ultimate, Absolute Worst Ad in America.

Too bad there are only five nominees.

(Voting ends Tuesday, Sept. 28.)

My vote for the worst commercial around isn't on the list. It's the one for some cell phone company (Sprint, I believe) in which a woman is breaking up with her boyfriend with a text message and e-mail. While she's having lunch with him. Breaking up with a Post-It Note shows more class.

By the way, "Mr. Mayhem" ia played by actor Dean Winters. Who memorably played creep extraordinaire Ryan O'Reilly on HBO's superb prison show "Oz".
