Stupid TV ad claims

[OnTheOverrun]

Am I the only one who is tired of bloody stupid claims on ads?

I've just watched a weetabix advert with a jockey claiming the best bit about it is it 'low-fat'!

Of course it's bloody low fat, it's made of straw! If it was a low-fat full english it would be worth commenting on, but who in the hell expects weetabix to contain lard?

[mickk]

But it must be good for you, the jockey wins the race.

Which reminds me.

Breakfast cereals with chocolate in. WTF? That is just so wrong.

No fking wonder the NHS costs are astronomical - we're breeding a generation of fat diabetics.

Tampaxywingthings advert asks:

Who says 5 into 1 doesnt go?

fkING NO ONE SAYS THAT!! NO ONE EVER! YOU'VE JUST 'SOLVED' A PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T EXIST AND NO ONE CARED ABOUT UNTIL YOU JUST MADE IT UP TO APPEAL TO NEUROTIC WOMEN WHO NOW WONDER HOW MANY fkING FEATURES THEIR TAMPONS HAVE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH S!

What about that ad for the asda life insurance thing when the old woman says " There is no chance of the plan paying out less than you paid in" the small print says at the same time " You may get paid out less than you pay in".

The quick quid or whatever it's called advert.

With massive letters saying the APR is 2356%. Yes two thousand, three hundred and fifty six percent.

It's stupid to think people would go for such a deal.

But they still will. I can't help but feel sorry for the people that will see this as a viable option.

Well, I've tried it and at no point did I hear any sort of explosion or loud noise.

Total bks.

I used to see a commercial all the time for one of those air purifiers that "converts ozone into pure oxygen". Ozone IS pure oxygen, just O3 instead of O2.

[Prak]

How about those enlightening claims to "help" "reduce" something "by up to " .... So it could do virtually sod all then ...

No worse than American TV shows, first half of the show tells you what is coming later, the second half of the show tells you what has already happened in the first half. At the end I'm often unsure whether I missed the show or saw it a few times.

"Have a happy period" bks more like hide anything that has a sharp edge or could be used as a blunt instrument in my household

You're an idiot, I trust you don't look after the finances in your household.
