This one for the new Seat Insomnia with the sixty year old tart getting dirty text messages read out by the car.

An affective assault on my virility.

I assume that she's replying to text sent to her daughter who's driving. Whatever, detestable advert and even more detestable feature - why anyone would ever want that in their car is beyond me and if it's an optional extra I can't imagine many people would take it up. It does seem strange to base your whole advert around it.

Oh yes, I've re-watched it and it's just creepy.

That ad may as well just read "The new SEAT Bland. Complete crap to drive, but you can use it like a smartphone so there's no need for you to concentrate on driving properly or anything else important.

SEAT. Cars for c**ts."

I'm sorry but whoever came up with those Tesco ads needs to be slapped in the head. Utter, utter sexist st.

and Ben Miller should be fking ashamed of himself. He's got a degree in quantum physics for Gods sake.

The build a bear Christmas add's (on Dave....) are especially awful - bad dubbing of family scene with daughter saying how much she loves building the over priced tat with her Dad. furious

Any advert (usually for films) where a date is mentioned and the narrator says December four instead of December fourth.

Drives me mental
Even December fourth is incorrect - it's an Americanism. It should be stated as December THE fourth or the fourth of December.
This is one of my pet hates, even more than the Tesco adverts.

I can put up with most of these but not the one with the girl who they ask to smile and then looks like some sort of demented freak.

But what particularly irks me at the moment are the online casino and betting ads. At certain times, on certain channels it seems that every other ad is portraying a sort of gambling utopia world that comprises of either matey blokes 'having banta', housewives dreamily playing roulette or a glamourous mix of designer clothes and expensive champagne quaffing- all played out with a sub-text that it is both easy, universally acceptable and safe to get into ("we give you £20 in your betting account when you place your first £10 bet"). No other 'product' with a potential for a serious addiction problem is allowed to advertise and promote itself in this way mad .
I concur with this.... Society is doomed...

I'd like to see adverts for gambling much more heavily regulated, on a par with alcohol or even tobacco advertising.
