The ad with Sally, for persona sythetica or summat.

What are they actually advertising ?.....human like robot servants ?

It's a pretty clever advertising campaign by Channel 4 for their new show "Humans".

Channel4 Press Release said:

Humans is set in a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a ‘Synth’ - a highly-developed robotic servant eerily similar to its live counterpart. In the hope of transforming the way they live, one strained suburban family purchases a refurbished synth only to discover that sharing life with a machine has far-reaching and chilling consequences.

They've done a pretty good job with it tbh, based on all the pseudo advertising floating around the internet at the moment. Even eBay are running banner & header adverts for "Persona" with clickable web redirects that take you to a website detailing how you can order & design your own "Synth" and it seems to be fooling a lot of people since the ad premiered.

Thanks for that ^^^.

I should've just used that Google thing.

I saw that advert for the first time earlier this evening - not sure what drugs were being taken when they came up with that one.

Any advert for Slater and Gordon solicitors. What a load of st.

Name (and probably the ethos) always reminds me of Slater Nazi

All these broadband adverts that are blatant lies, just saw a sky one that says Fibre broadband for £10 per month, then eventually says plus line rental of £16.50 per month, err so that's £26.50 per month. Just shows that with all these people paid to police this stuff, they can get away with anything

[torqueofthedevil]

The one where Chris Martin lists all his favourite TV shows

Only if you get your phone through them too...

Not TV but the cinema.

The Audi R8 "giving birth" to a saloon car. After the superb original R8 ad, this is just makes me feel like throwing up!

Saw this the other day. Thought it was an update to the R8 V10 add, but it wasn't and it was quite rubbish really.

Overpriced artisan chocolate - check
Dinner party pseuds corner navel gazing - check
Sucking at the corporate teat - check

Green & Black's sold out to Cadbury 10 years ago and then Cadbury was taken over by Kraft, the people who bring us cheese slices and assorted processed dreck.

Any advert for solicitors who specialise on getting money for people too stupid to admit it was their own fault.

[Langweilig]

The Cadbury's Mini Rolls advert. I am not understanding this advert. What is the connection between a 1970's American cop show and modern-day British confectionery?

[boobles]

The one with Lenny Henry snoring in a bed in different locations.
I really dislike that bloke.

[AlexRS2782]

New Barclaycard Platinum advert.

Must be the new marketing trend doing the rounds as it features stupid part spoken, part sung lyrics, stupid music, etc.
