Winning our Marketing Weak award for dodgy ads this week is this nutty spot from Nature Valley.

A nice drive in the country has gone badly wrong for a couple who find themselves in the middle of a field. Luckily they're able to get more from their rural break when they eat a couple of cereal bars and with the SatNav blethering away in the background, they start to appreciate what nature has to offer.

SatNavs drive us round the bend at the best of times, so we could really do without this one interrupting our ad breaks.

And why doesn't the dog bounce?
