ALL of those fking begging advertsrolleyes

RSPCA.... Richest charity in the UK... Please just £2 pounds, let us feed this little doggy, just £2 pounds...... fk OFF
Even worse are the RSPCA ads which use fluffy little kittens. Have you ever tried to call the RSPCA out over a lost or injured cat - the reply you get is:

"We dont do cats - ring the Cat Protection League"....click
Yes. Got the same/similar response. fks be off beyond belief.

I like the WKD one, specially sat in the tipper truck and turn the heaters on with the crisp packets flying around.. Typical builder type.
But that's my problem with those ads, they stereotype. I'm not a footy playing builder who goes out & re-lives the match with the lads having a good weez drinking blue coloured crap. And if I was, as there's nothing wrong with that, then I'd still be pissed off with being stereotyped.

My point is that all men are not either footy playing builders, hen pecked under the thumb wimps or gay.
My problem with that advert is that stereotypical footy playing builders drink beer - not bh piss. Only chavs and gaylords drink that fking anti-freeze crap.

Compare the market/meerkat including the new ancestral tale. On a lighter note the new Lineker/Walkers beautiful body ad made me smile.

The Iceland Christmas advert made me want to stab myself in the eyeball with a fork.
Don't remind me - having said that if you did stab yourself in the eyeball with a fork you mighth get something that tastes better than the stuff Iceland were advertising...
Ah yes. Swelegant.

Probably because they are not advertising Thomsons...

I am curently looking for cheaper car insurance and refuse to useGo Compare purely due to the constant flogging of the stupid opera singing adverts.

Please make it stop.

I can't imagine there is a worse advert on telly at the moment than the current Halifax amateur radio hellishness...!

Which ever ad. agency creative came up with it deserves to be shot.

Just saw the new 'webuyanycar.com' ad. I used to be able to avoid the old one by pressing mute but now I have to suffer watching a bunch of chavs dancing!!! Another channel changer to go with Go compare!!

I dont hate this advert - just wonder whether advertising excecs actually think things through before putting an ad together:

The new Branflakes ad - the one with the olympic cyclist. After watching that ad for the first time - my first thought was "yeh - you would cycle like lightning after eating a box of branflakes - especially if the sign for the mens was behind the finishing line".

I'm not sure whether that's supposed to be deliberate or not...
