Just seen an advert for 'Philips Open MRI scanner'.

Must pop down the shops and buy one tomorrow.

Or maybe when one of my family is sick, we'll decline a scan if it's not a 'Philips Open MRI scanner'.

Why?! :confused:

Any other daft ads? I used to think BT ads where daft when they had the monopoly...

It says that Philips is a caring bunch who help to make your sick children better - so buy Philips products because partaking in the brand will bestow that same warm feeling on you.

Orange
and their new synchronised dance thing,
don't quite see the connection myself,

although similies, between myself and Mrs Rich,
in the Kitchen, preparing meals at the same time, have not elicited the same 'one-ness' hinted at here.

Probably the sort of programme where corporate MRI scanner buyers are likely to be watching.... More 'brand awareness' than actually trying to get you to go out and buy one

You mean you haven't got one yet? They're great, the ultimate after-pub gadget. Get all your mates round and have a look to see how far along the jalfrezi is

Don't be such an idiot

You know that two weeks after christmas it'll be gathering dust at the back of the garage with the broken lawnmower you never got round to fixin'.




How about the Botham/Lamb meat ads.

Beef or lamb beef or lamb beef or lamb beef or lamb.

I know they're both meat. But which one to buy?

scared but happy
