[Ads Gone Wrong] Gaviscon: It's Like a Fireman Came in Your Mouth

By Ken Kaniff

This from a South African commercial for Gaviscon, an antacid.

It illustrates what can go wrong when someone who is ESL (English as a
second language) writes the punch line for the advertisement.

this is excellent! (however, you don't call a person an "ESL". "ESL" is a field of study. I would suggest using non-native English speaker).
