YANBU

I despise these ads too. Patronising crap.

deliakate · 10/11/2011 16:02

You are not the target meercat here, obv.

ItWasABoojum · 10/11/2011 16:10

YANBU.

Added rant - fucking Advantage Card points! 'No other loyalty card gives you 4 points per £1 you spend.' No. And no other shop gets you so effing little for that pound. Or for those points, when you've finally spent enough to have enough of them. Bastards.

ItWasABoojum · 10/11/2011 16:11

Too many 'enoughs'. Boots, you have eaten my grammar. Up yours.

Proudnscary · 10/11/2011 16:12

Why do you HATE HATE them and not just HATE? Hmmmmm???

YANBU though, those ads are fucking annoying.

BookNerd · 10/11/2011 16:15

Hmm I kinda like the Boots advert - makes me feel all Christmassy.

But I massively super hate that stupid Wowcher advert and I EPIC-LY hate the confused.com advert with that stupid cartoon woman and her stupid singing mates.

But most of all I DETEST that stupid singing Haribo family and their weird creepy little song. I mean - seriously - who thought that was a good idea?!?!?

God, that was quite cathartic. I needed that.

itsalladirtylie · 10/11/2011 16:22

I find pretty much all adverts patronising

Clossaintjacques · 10/11/2011 16:27

I would be glad of some Boots Christmas stuff, I seriously got some Tesco shower gel last year Grin

ViviPru · 10/11/2011 16:35

CONVERSELY... I really LIKE LIKE the Weetabix advert where the whole family have a crappy day. Yes yes so it inevitably raises the predictable cries of 'why does the woman have to be a SAHM???' but aside from that, its a beacon in a sea of advertising shit.

bubbub · 10/11/2011 17:02

boots adverts are always shit, always. the littlewoods ad makes my blood boil though, irritating song, and its not my lovely lovely mother, actually, to my 4 and 3 yr old, its santa. thank you!
that said, i do love soap and glory, its overpriced but its lovely stuff, not if you are used to estee lauder or clinique, obviously not, but for people who cant afford expensive bath and body stuff, s&g for christmas is a treat, be it 3 for 2 or not!

Boots advert -Yuk yuk yuk.

Always on when I'm feeling fat , wearing jogging bottoms with semi digested milk on my shoulder.
