Cole and Abel radio ads.
Crap, wet, singing about saving the planet.
“A carbon neutral shop delivered to your door”.
I don’t want a shop delivered. They are buildings.
HATE this advert, that lazy relaxed Ed Sheeran style of singing - him being the epitome of bland, average mainstream chart-topping rubbish for the masses.Crap, wet, singing about saving the planet.

t just to annoy me. it worked. Mercdriver said:
James Martin advertising Italian tomatoes, shame on him, he does not need the money.
Every advert by “celebrities” makes me not want to buy what they are selling, they are biased because of their cheques in the post
I wonder if the ‘celebs’ get freebies as part of the deal. Every advert by “celebrities” makes me not want to buy what they are selling, they are biased because of their cheques in the post

There are a lot of comments on this thread about the high level of diversity in adverts. This article in the times puts some numbers behind that to show that our perception is much higher than reality and the representation in tv advertising is also high

Most surprising statistic in there for me was that 34% of Americans earn more than $100,000.
I’m surprised that the total combined figure for the gay and lesbian community is only 1.8%, I’d have probably guessed around 6-8%. I can’t blame tv adverts for that, it’s just my own thinking but as always I’m happy to be proved wrong and learn something new.
As for the actual adverts the article proves how ridiculous they’ve become recently and how they actively skew perceptions.
If you stop and think about it, if you were portraying "diversity" in a British context in your advertising why would you virtually ignore the biggest ethnic minority grouping in the UK, which is communities of Asian origin?.

Whose thumb(s) and what their motives are is interesting to say the least, given the power of media.

Did anyone in here genuinely think that 1 in 20 people are trans?
I was a little surprised it was 1 in 200. I would have guessed nearer 1 in 500.

I know it has been mentioned before, but the Nationwide ad with the mixed race couple where the woman never stops talking "like" and the idiot guy just keeps grunting and nodding is doing my head in. What is it with Nationwide that their adverts are so crap and inane?
“Cheap” you mean...& it’s not just Nationwide.

The Cinch ad. I'm supposed to take car buying advice from an Estuary English speaking, plastic coated, face painted, superficial, self obsessed buffoon who's probably never been under a bonnet
You mean Mr.TeethI buy and sell stuff as a sideline and because we are now on BT broadband when I set up a BT Youview box I now get the Ryan based intro video during set up rather than the generic YouView one
Along with a guest appearance by Robbie Savage it's quite a performance
