Did PH invade the BT forum?
Discussion
BT have been getting people to vote on the next instalment of their Adam and Jane adverts and also opened up a forum discussion

Glad to see some people are keeping it real
From the forum
'I can’t be alone in thinking Jane is a money grabbing witch who has pretty much stuffed Adams life up for the past 5 or so years.
First off she moves her brood of noisy obnoxious kids into Adams house and make him act like their real father (all done far too quickly). He take them out and pay for trips to the cinema and other thing their real Dad (who must be pretty well paid as he’s always busy) should be doing, then after all that she makes him move out (no doubt he’s still paying the mortgage for the house) for a trial separation – confusing the poor guy. Meanwhile her teenage kids are having wild raves at Adam house - eating and drinking all of Adams food and drink no doubt. Next few ads are confusing one minute Adams looking for the best takeaway in his non-descript middle class London suburb, next Jane’s back on the scene and they appear to getting married – Jane’s obviously trying to keep it a secret as it’s her daughter that spills the beans to her Dad.
Basically to me this plot revolves around an IT nerd (Adam) who has focused all his effort on his career and not of finding a nice girlfriend. Realising that he’s unlikely to have had a girlfriend before and he has a well paid IT job Jane (an evil old gold digger) spots her chances and gets her teeth stuck into him. She then plays him like a fool laughing at his attempts with other women and nagging him silly, and finally robbing him of his independence. Poor Adam.
I think what should happen is Jane should push off with her kids and leave Adam alone. She’s had it too easy living off poor old Adam, and it (the ads) should end there. Maybe Adam could get a new girlfriend - one a bit younger with no kids and no strings attached. Perhaps another fellow middle class career minded girl for a generic London suburb. Alternatively you could (if you could get them) get the cast of My Family all involved and have a ‘comedy’ style ending – reminiscent of the Clio ads with Nicole and Papa and Vic and Bob.'

Some people on that forum are MENTAL!
'Well I just cringe every time I see these adds. Unfortunately there are people out there who are influenced by these and react accordingly. I know someone whos wife was mentally ill and used to watch them thinking this was great and the thing to do. She left leaving him to bring up the kids not the adds fault of course but they didnt help at a very awkward time. A national company promoting broken families is what it says to me. Sorry but there's only one outcome for me she runs back to her original hardworking husband in tears stating that she's made a terrible mistake. He then tells her he feels very sad for her but it was her choice to leave and since she has now been with another man he can't take her back. He'd like to but then she's likely to let him down again in the future. Oh the original husband was genuine unlike the parasite that was hanging around with her and his kids. The guys Adam's a wally but he shouldnt waste his time with this woman, she runs back to Adam who now not so confused tells her to get lost. Actually what should happen is that whoever set this whole senario up should realise a lot of your customers don't like them and would prefer information about the products. These adds have no connection with the hardworking bt staff and are giving the company a bad name. Oh by the way what happened to my friend, well, after 3 years after she left she arrived at her former husbands door in tears, what she didnt say was that the boyfriend she'd been tormenting him about since she left had dumped her. What did my friend do? Well he was really nice to her but explained that he had almost died due to her carry on and there was no way he was going to put himself through all that again. He has since met a beautiful woman who adores him and his children.'
And this one I like!
'She starts rubbing her belly then . . . all of a sudden. . . starts convulsing and contorting then POW an alien from the Alien series bursts from her body and runs across the room shrieking! THEN Godzilla totally demolishes her house before updating his facebook status (via BT broadband of course)
MEANWHILE
Adam is screams down the phone and is clearly distraught BUT his pain is short lived as his BT homehub suddenly transforms into a Decepticon faction Transformer and ends Adam's misery. . allow better characters to be brought into the BT advert series like Lion-o or a George Forman grill..'

since she was in waking the dead or whatever it was called.I like:
I tried to phone BT the other week. Never did get beyond the telephone tree.

Adam and Jane change to the new BT browser and find it's as rubbish as we're finding it. Constant losses of connection. Driven by the resulting frustration; Adam throws his laptop through the window and Jane batters the home-hub before deep-frying it with a spare Mars bar.
An unhappy bunny? Surely not!I tried to phone BT the other week. Never did get beyond the telephone tree.
