Dave Barry, "The Most Hated Advertisements"


Dave Barry is a humor columnist for the Miami Herald. His column appears in more than five-hundred newspapers in the United States and abroad. In 1988, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Many people are still trying to figure out how this happened. Barry has also written a total of twenty-two books, although virtually none of them contain useful information. Two of his books were used as the basis for the CBS TV sitcom Dave's World, in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave.
