Decades since I was at school, but any advert or in-shop promo for 'Back to School' in July/Aug still pisses me off.
Oh good, it's not just me then that carries the mental scars of decades past. Possibly the worst premature advert I saw in a shop window was for the retailer's Christmas club. Not only was it in August, but it said "don't disappoint them this Christmas Mum".

t advert" and walked away from the TV. Still don't have a clue what it was supposed to be for.shih tzu faced said:

Spelt as above with no capital 'A' at the start.
Seen the ad several times and still have absolutely no idea what they do or sell.
Doesn't annoy me as such, just totally baffles me.
when your an organisation and you want to do something but your entire management chain are too thick to understand it, or think they can do it cheaply without investing money into their own staff - they bring them in, who then charge tons of money and usually dont give you exactly what you wanted, but more along the lines of what they think you want and have done it before for someone else that they also charged mega money for.Spelt as above with no capital 'A' at the start.

Cheers for that, they'll probably be kept busy then! (based on my experience of management chains)rider73 said:

Pc world rep: Hi bill, we are going to do a new advert, and we want you in it, you'll love this,
Bill, what is it,
Pc world rep: we have this crap hp laptop, and you are going to ask if it boots up quick,
Bill, hmm, interesting, tell me more
Pc world rep: then we are going to put you up on a big gantry, strapped to a harness, with some angel wings on your back, holding a guitar,
Bill, lovely,
Pc world rep: but wait the best bit is this, we then slide you down to the laptop, and its booted up,
Bill: and will people like this s**t,
Pc world rep: Absolutely, we are onto a winner here, dont worry we will pay you a decent amount, the sales will come flying in
Bill: great where do i sign

YouTube seems to be usurping tv ads for irritation value at the moment. The amount of absolute throbbers telling me they’re trading experts is becoming grating. 
quite why I’m being targeted by them I have no idea as it’s of no interest.
Why dont you get an adblocker so you don't see any Youtube adverts? quite why I’m being targeted by them I have no idea as it’s of no interest.anonymoususer said:
