Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.
Discussion
WBAC ads verging on misleading. I sold my car to WBAC instead of trading it in, and now I've got this lovely wad of cash to help me get a better deal on my new car! They never actually say you get more money than trading the car in, and they never actually say that turning up with cash to a dealer is in some way more financially beneficial than turning up with a trade in, but it's definitely insinuated for all the car tards out there.
Another mention for the TESCO watermelon advert.
Jesus H Christ. What an appalling, cringe worthy and utter crock of steaming, stinking s
t. I can't believe someone is paid to come up with this utter dross.
I'd love to shove a watermelon down that smug fat woman's throat. F*** knows why she bought a watermelon anyway, looks like she's never seen one before in her life, probably assumed it was a giant chocolate lime...

Advert just on.
Female goalkeeper "Do you really believe because I'm a woman you think I'll crack under pressure"
The advert is for 'Always'. Is that the answer or the product?
You've just beat me to it! This advert really gets on my t!ts.Female goalkeeper "Do you really believe because I'm a woman you think I'll crack under pressure"

What the hell does "crack under pressure" have to do with fanny pads? This advert just backfires spectacularly.
"Do you really believe because I'm a woman you think I'll crack under pressure"
No
"Well, look at these fanny pads, look at them with their gel, no leaks, look at them. Because I'm a woman."
WTF.

that fking bank has a flintstones ad now too. More of the same Peter Kay style contentless nostalgia for thickos.
Noticed that earlier today. I guess Halifax have signed some sort of promotional deal with Hanna-Barbera, or whichever media mogul / company now own the rights to the original cartoons, etc.king bank has a flintstones ad now too.

Ironic, isn't it? Everyone here intimates that advertising is basically crap, yet look at who is one of the best paid executives in the world!!

WPP pay: Third of investors fail to back Sorrell's £70m deal. One third of WPP investors have failed to back Sir Martin Sorrell's £70m pay deal at the advertising firm's annual general meeting. Excluding abstentions, 33.5% of investors failed to back the pay deal, but the vote was non-binding. The chief executive's 2015 pay package is one of the biggest in UK corporate history. Sir Martin has previously said his pay was based on the performance of WPP, the world's largest advertising group.

Postcode lottery adverts are beyond cringe worthy and awkward. You'd think they'd have the money to make a half decent advert.
Don't get me started on the adverts with that GMTV (or whatever it's called now) reject Fiona Phillips, go away lady I hate looking at your smug decaying corpse like leathery mush. It's bad enough when ITV dredge you back from your crypt to cover for their daytime drivel whilst the fat Scottish annoying lass buggers off for her umpteenth holiday of the year, without having you forced upon me on advert breaks as well.

That f***ing stupid Lloyds Bank advert where everything is in s_u_p_e_r s_l_o_w m_o_t_i_o_n.....depicting all the milestones in life that you can reach with the help of the bank, like death, relationships, births etc.
F**k off with your condescending horse s**t, stop pretending you are doing us all a favour!
You'd no doubt repossess my house in the blink of an eye if I couldn't meet the payments!
Money grabbing bast4rds, just like any other bank.
Rant over............and breath.

They've just sent me a letter this morning to inform me they're revoking my planned overdraft facility after an "account review". Not that I've ever had to use it but it was a nice "safety net", thanks Lloyds! Account has been in good standing for over 3 years, well above average wage paid in every month like clockwork.F**k off with your condescending horse s**t, stop pretending you are doing us all a favour!

This time last year I had a credit card with them that had a 2k limit, I did a balance transfer of £500 from another card to theirs as they'd sent me a letter offering 0% balance transfers. Approx 5 days later they sent me a letter advising me my limit would be downgraded to £250, AFTER I'd just completed a £500 balance transfer. Which would render me £250 OVER my credit limit. I phoned them up and after about 2 hours of chasing them they "agreed" to increase the limit to £500 to cover the balance transfer. Knobs. I paid it off ASAP and cancelled the card.
"with you all the way" - MY ARSE!

Glad to see that someone feels the same utter contempt for that woman as I do. Should of been taken off the air of a supposedly un-biased news programme the moment it was revealed that old one eye was thinking about making her a peer. And off air she is rumoured to be a very unpleasant person too. AJXX1 said:

Lloyds and their stupid horse thing
Nationwide - probably the most despised by me - because it offers you NO insight into how they are as a bank and just shows a nice person giving someone back a lost scarf. If I opened an account with them, I would expect their staff to personally return all items of my lost property now.
