They did. Personally I'd rather he was suffocated under a DFS sofa with my naked mother-in-law sitting on top.

Excellent call. Good marketing I suppose in that we all remember it but bad in the sense we all want to mob together and burn the stores down.

Shooting's too good for'em - VBRJ is the only thing for it.

Any one who has lived more than one year knows that all those cheap and nasty sofas with their meccano innards will be half price on Boxing Day anyway, and no one in their right mind will spend their Christmas holiday buying a sofa. Therefore I think we have a good case for getting this advert banned.

hehe Yes they did - even Nickelback were taking the piss out of it on stage the other night.

Have you noticed how they make the sofas look HUGE in comparison to the numpties that are dancing around them in the adverts?
