WeightWatchers woman in odd dress just annoys me
Jammie Dodgers monkey advert is seriously odd
The birds eye strange teddy in freezer is creepy
The hotel ad with the aggressive teddy in bed is NASTY
All Halifax adverts, especially those offering me a 'great rate' (2% FFS)
All cosmetics adverts are boswellox.
DM ads p*ss me off, because I want what they offer, but refuse to buy the DM
I know I should just stop watching ads, or TV in general, but DO THEY THINK I AM STUPID??.

Good game Norks and a good way of getting them to question what they are told. I like it.

It's just such an invasion into our minds .

Small children are definitely the only ones who believe the ads. My dd (5) told me the other day the bathroom would be "much cleaner mummy of you used cillit bang - bang and the dirt is gone" and yes she did the punchline as well Grin I did explain it would be cleaner if I did it more than once a week!!

Has anyone seen the advert - I think it's for hyundai cars - the one where it says "who says roadsides are boring?" and then shows those giant wooden carved figures at a roadside.

Does anyone know if those are real figures and if so whereabouts in the world are they? I wanna visit them on street view Grin

OK bring back all I have said.
Have just seen the latest meerkats ad and laughed myself silly.

HOWEVER, I have absolutely NO IDEA what they are trying to sell me or what the message is.
