It's Valentine's Day and we all know what this means -- roses, chocolates and terrible marketing campaigns.

Smartphone maker OnePlus is the latest to come out with a cringeworthy ad titled "Who do you love?" The ad starts off with people looking at the camera, presumably talking to someone on the other side, seductively saying things like "You look so good in leather" and "Only I can turn you on."

Next thing you know, they're caressing and licking the OnePlus 3T, the company's latest phone which, by the way, is a pretty good phone.

The ad is extremely cringeworthy, not to mention completely unhygienic, considering many experts say your phone is dirtier than a toilet seat. The ad is part of OnePlus's #LickOfLove contest, where you have a chance to win two personalized units of "the world’s most lickable smartphones."
