We always mute adverts (except when there's a new Meercat one!).

It's interesting when you do that, 'cos you notice things that you may not when you're distracted by the annoying vocals and 'music' - particularly the small print that appears at the bottom of the screen. It's educational when you compare the upbeat audio meassages and the downbeat sub-titles.

As for me - if an advert annoys me I make a point of NOT using that product/company.

I think companies should all employ the people who make these adverts.

Anyway the comparison shops/website adverts are my gripe, its the crap you get via email and phone calls once youve used them as well.

What about the Apple or other smartphone ads that show you something really cool and then a little message says 'sequence shortened'.

I agree, but more strongly - any german bits I have will be from scrapped cars

Have you also see how they make R8's(?) with a rubic cube with all the bits in, have they not heard of shelving. Jeez.

As I said elsewhere, even with all the technoshite, they still lost a war (against men who build stuff in sheds, and design stuff on fag packets!)

Adverts that advertise anything with the small print saying it's BS, like mascara that lengthens your lashes, but only if you have false lashes. Or hair stuff but the model has extensions...

They should be banned from advertising BS, or go the whole thing:
"This water makes you lose all body fat (along with liposuction and a 500 mile run)"

Bud light or Hahn adverts are great, like beer needs humour to sell it. I hated the shouty mad fake Geordie bulling up big brother which I hated even more and now they think everyone should listen because it's a Geordie telling you how good it is.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

The airfreshener advert that shows a kid having a crap then holding his nose...normally shown at tea time when I'm sat in front of the tv with my plate on my lap...

Or any of those that are for 'women's sanitary things' shown before the watershed...

Pretty much can stand any of the "another bloody episode" adverts, tired band wagon following "lets use some vapid vainly whimsical singer" type song averts (a good portion seem to be like that at the moment).

The worst yet is the Megan experiment cack. I haven't even seen a full advert and I just thought contrived marketing gimmic for a hideous car.

Still they are just vapid and half hearted. At least they aren't for some firm that preys on the desperate & needy.
