Do you mean a black man and a white woman? Anyone ever seen a black woman with a white man on an advert?
No but there's an Oriental woman bemoaning the cost of a dog bed on a bank ad. The dog is of unknown race.

Just seen a Legal and General ad with 2 mixed race kids with their white mum.
Cue photos of the black father who has popped his clogs but luckily had life insurance.

Diversity overload.

Yeah, it is, must be a challenge getting every minority into one ad.

I can see why but it does seem contrived, though KFC seem to have divested with it.

I like the Meerkats even now, the one where AutoSergei asks if he wants to bring back his last web page was quite amusing.

It's alternating between her and "Stock image hysterical woman laughing number 17"

On that matter, the slowed-down breathy version of "Somebody's watching you" by Rockwell (?) being used for the trailer for BBC1's forthcoming series "The Capture" is annoying, too. The series looks like it will be good, as long as they don't use the music from the trailer in it.

What's the advert where some woman is having her hair done, complaining about being skint, when the hairdresser suggests a credit card?

Cue cut to pervy party scene.

Woman suggests that she would be declined

Hairdressers says that she check first

Cue cut to even weirder pervy party with come guy on roller skates.

WTAF?
Who thinks of this ste?

Do we think Gucci realise that the song for their latest advert is about a man falling in love with a plastic blow up woman?

And Halifax? Pulp Fiction was 25 years ago, Jungle Boogie is no longer cool.

She is Korean and will probably eat the dog

Everytime I watch those adverts I feel desperately sad for Harvey. Still I guess its topping up his pension.

But yes the Pulp Fiction thing is way out of date in those ads too.

all radio ads

First one is for Mira showers advertising a sale where you can get cashback "or should we say, splashback" which i understand but the next part says that the offer is valid until "August thirty first, or should we say, thirsty first" Am i missing something, does every other person drink from the shower when feeling thirsty?

PC world one, talking about your laptop being slow and the voice on the advert gets slower and slower as well, doesn't sound too bad but when it us on every 10 minutes during the day it gets very irritating

Advert for a murder podcast with very strange inflection on the voices which say no one has been charged for murdering Mavis* "in so and so cemetary in DAYLIGHT, on a tuesday AFTERNOON with a pick axe HANDLE" To me it suggests that murdering her on monday night with the head of the pickaxe would be absolutely fine

Green Flag. It is just a series of random, unconnected clips.
