Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up. (Vol 2)
Discussion
I do find advertising fascinating, honestly.
The image companies try and convey is so fake, unrealistic.
To convey family, it HAS to be multi raced, she has to be pregnant at some time, yet I bet there are tens of thousands of people who use the company that are none of these things.
To convey male, he has to have a beard, really?
Apparently betting is fun with your mates, but I would assess 90% of people bet on their own at home or at work, eating out is dead because I have an app on my phone that allows poor quality junk to be delivered to my house as I am so young I can't be arsed to go out fora meal! Oh and wait I must have 4 friends of ethnic diversity round at my house before I can order food delivered, damn, I only have 2 friends and they are both Swahili.
Why can I never drive my car around an urban environment with no-one else on the road? With people stopping and staring at my car that is about as memorable as an old shopping bag.
It is hilarious, and sad all at the same time.

I’ve noticed that black women rarely get a look-in on the multiracial family front. The image companies try and convey is so fake, unrealistic.

t now 
Quite a few 
inducing ads going on at the moment. Most notable has to be:
Apple with the brats using an iPad to put together a present for Grandad as mentioned a page or so back.
Then you have the various companies running the "we're honestly not trying to sell you something it's all about family / charity" adverts alongside their normal ads.
"Coca Cola. Bringing loved ones & families together this Christmas".
Very - same as the above.
Also, anyone else noticed that now December / Christmas has started Postcode Lottery have dropped the "knocking at the door" adverts and replaced them with a celebrity talking heads one talking about all the charities the £££ goes to in an effort to look less "win some £££ for yourself in the new year" vs "give £££ to charity instead".

Not an ad but you should see the Disney Lady and the Tramp reboot.
Mr and Mrs Darling are now white and black, in an era I'm not sure that was even possible and Jock, the Scottie, is now Justine. I couldn't watch any more.
I own a Scottie. (well, he owns me is probably more accurate) He's not called Jock surprisingly. the indignation in this house that Disney could turn Jock into Justine is huge.Mr and Mrs Darling are now white and black, in an era I'm not sure that was even possible and Jock, the Scottie, is now Justine.

I refuse to watch.
There's one advert that's very hypocritical, not sure if it's still shown, where a child talks about cleaner air etc and at the end its a promotion for Smart Meters. So much for healthy living having one of those in your home.
I saw a recent Go Compare ad where they crash a car into a tree which I thought was very disturbing and wasn't in the slightest bit amusing. Even my girlfriend was shocked by it. How do they get away with this stuff?.
