The new fashion for washed out adverts, contrast as low as possible, colour turned right down, and the brightness turned right up, so they look like a faded over exposed Seventies Kodak instamatic photograph. And once again. all those made in SA adverts, no, it's not England, so stop pretending, the UK number plates are not fooling anyone in that street, with that road furniture and those road markings! And it seems to be nearly all of them, do we not make and properly shoot adverts in the UK anymore?

yes I have mentioned this before and another effect is that fake lens look.

Dunno what advert but with a teddy bear and re-hash of Queens Bohemian Rhapsody.


Another one. Backfire by You'resomoneysupermarket by using an elephant. Is this elephant.co.uk? That insurance company? Opps.

How dare you speak ill of the great man, William Shatner doesn't re-hash songs, he acts his way through them with the subtlety and grace of a chest of drawers! He is a legend.

No, they use eFax and other such services, for some reason people still expect a company to have a fax number, however it is much simpler to receive it by email.

You get it back at 8% interest. It is for some reason worked out as simple interest (no compounding) but still more than you would likely get out of an investment. I feel pretty annoyed that I was so sensible with money back then.

Every single advert break at the moment on Satellite TV seems to either feature the Vicki Harris/Halifax/Photographer one or the "Bring The Noize" Ryder Cup promotion aural mess.

Please make it stop.

The BBC are excelling at making promo adds that are really annoying. The Strictly come dancing one really pisses on my chips, it's the theme tune with the"OHH" shouts all the way through it, it seems to be on every five minutes, and dont get me started on the Eastenders cast singing/screetching Everyone Hurts while pretending to be distraught furious
