YouTube is getting right on my tits at the moment. I can live with ads at the start of videos (even ones that you don't have the option to skip), but recently so many videos I've watched have been carved up with a series of ads - mostly right in the middle of someone speaking.
Scroll the vid near enough to the end, let it finish and then replay it.No more ads in the middle of the vid or just use an ad blocker

The Volvo ad - has summer ever been so important. For safety sake, visit Volvo...
Chinese owned company. Just saying.
The worst part of that advert is the stripped back, breathy, cover of Steppenwolf's - Born To Be Wild.Chinese owned company. Just saying.
I’ve been entertained reading these comments. Eases me to know I’m not the only person Screaming F off at almost every advert I see and hear at max volume (thanks for that added bonus! Ffs).
I’ve not come to any comments about the Flash advert with Dave and the singing Dog yet. F OOFFFFFF! Anyone else with me on this?
As for poking tampons!! Being female and one with a growing grudge against the tampon industry.. when I saw it the first time my blood boiled. They have redesigned the applicators in recent years.. not only have they traded cardboard for single use plastic (with plastic teeth at the tip.. not a pleasant start to application), but they have also reduced in length.. making them difficult to use. I would hazard a guess that they’ve had complaints and this is their awful way of rectifying it.

Amazon still trying to persuade us they’re a nice employer, this time with Joe the delivery driver telling us they’re like a family...
The glorified Job Title they use for ‘delivery driver’ gets me (I can’t remember it right now).. classic tactics of bad employers in my experience. MissTy said:

maybe it was their tenth take and he kept fking it up. To be fair it's an con primarily aimed at ITV-watching council spacks, so polished marketing is not high on the list of priorities. Blown2CV said:

"Were going to Benidorm", now I like the TV programme, its a guilty pleasure but never been, sort of seems appropriate.
The other one was "I'm getting new teef"
That said, know a few people who have won a few quid on it.

It's worth mentioning again though. What a load of old st.
Ad people keep managing new levels of crapness with the ‘stripped-back’ versions of songs they insist on using. I’m just waiting for the version of Black Lace’s ‘Ag a doo’ featuring a female singer with a whispery voice and an acoustic guitar.t.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
