I already have [one thread here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=676263) on the Worst Marketing Blunders of 2012, but I suspect there will be many best/worst lists coming out. So if you want, here’s a thread in which to post them all.

Best (and funniest) debate: the Republican primary. Never has a clown car seemed so amusing.
