Anyone else dislike clearly European adverts that are shown here? As if they’re British. Tend to be things like cleaning products eg Jif etc, or kinder surprise type ads. I don’t want to see some fake house with bland smiling mum cleaning. They always have windows win the house with no genuine view etc a bit like those fake car background ads some car sellers use
Similar process to most of the car ads i guess. One generic advert that's easily dubbed / edited for various advertising markets.VW with the Tiguan advert with the CGI'd on UK plate and images flipped for driving on the left, even though in one scene the steering wheel / driver is still on the left too, plus some dubbing and background scenery that isn't the UK.
Kia did it previously with the Sportage a couple of years ago - background & main house featured in that was clearly produced in the Australian market.
Mini currently at it with the new ad for the E-Mini. UK plates edited in, then a couple of very clear messages along the bottom of the advert, whilst the people are in the car having fun, that the entire interior trim featured including some hi-spec items & tech is not in any way available in the UK market and cannot be special ordered
Random Facebook adverts, which are for stuff from China but filmed in the West.
The company name is always something like "Happysmile", "Rainytrends" or "Pigfister".
The advert, filmed somewhere in the US and played at just slightly too fast frame rate per second, shows some moderately fit girl demonstrating the product. Said product is typically super whitening toothpowder, megasticky tape, cat harness or everlasting gobstopper. I especially like drill mounted cutting blades that are clearly lethal to operate.
and they never tell you it will take most of 2021 to get to your house, if arrives at all.

Microsoft Teams and Hasbro / Monopoly
This just makes me think what a complete bunch of wasters who do not bother to do international and cultural studies on their products until Teams arrive. Complete fking nonsense.
My thoughts on that were what could possibly go wrong allowing Teams to translate between English and Chinese This just makes me think what a complete bunch of wasters who do not bother to do international and cultural studies on their products until Teams arrive. Complete f
king nonsense.
especially if your designing and manufacturing something.

Makes you wonder how Monopoly became so popular, all around the world (I think) prior to the internet, never mind Teams. This just makes me think what a complete bunch of wasters who do not bother to do international and cultural studies on their products until Teams arrive. Complete f
king nonsense.I do not understand the ads about encouraging people to fill in the census. There is no mention of it being a legal requirement with a potential for a 1000 pound fine.
Why the softly softly celebs "Im doing it so should you"
It just reinforces the "It would be nice to do" not a legal requirement
