To think that Scarlett Johansson's Dolce and Gabbana advert is much more annoying than Asda's Christmas ad?

I also love the song in the ad. I know its The Gossip because of Beth Dittos distinctive amazing voice but i dont know the name of the song.

McKayz · 06/12/2012 17:19

DarkestEyes, the song is Heavy Cross.

noddyholder · 06/12/2012 17:20

Heavy cross

Darkesteyes · 06/12/2012 17:20

Thankyou McKayz i will have a look for that Thanks

McKayz · 06/12/2012 17:21

I went googling it the other week as I love the song.

saycheeeeeese · 06/12/2012 17:22

She boycotted chanel when she saw Brads awful advert.... Grin

akaemmafrost · 06/12/2012 17:25

She is in her twenties but her hair makes her look like she's pushing middle age. I don't get what the big deal is about her.

Cozy9 · 06/12/2012 17:28

All perfume ads are utter bollocks.

Bella88 · 06/12/2012 17:48

I'd quite happily punch her in her mouthforkissing, till my sodding hand bled.

Irritating, pickled onion headed bint!

Darkesteyes · 06/12/2012 17:58

Found the Gossip video of this track.
Disappointed and pissed off to see the mysogynistic nasty comments about Beth Ditto underneath.
She is way talented and cooler than any of the arseholes making comments like that. Fabulous talent. AMAZING voice.
Why do people have to be such dicks.

Darkesteyes · 06/12/2012 17:59

Fantastic!

Chandon · 06/12/2012 18:00

I also really really hate the guy who says on a French accent" I am not going to be the person I am expected to be any more!" how very deep not

DyeInTheEar · 06/12/2012 18:02

YANBU - it's total crap. It even has my mild mannered DH shouting at the tele.

Mrsjay · 06/12/2012 18:02

I had a thread last week about it silly moo doing all her own loving making stunts Angry I hate it why did she do it she has a tonne of money

Chandon · 06/12/2012 18:03

It also annoys me that the guy in bed, when the girl gets up and he sniffs her pillow and in doing so sticks out his butt (is it D and G?) looks so gay.

I don't obviously object to gay people in adverts, but what is an add with a woman and a gay guy in bed really about???what are they trying to tell me?

fedupofnamechanging · 06/12/2012 18:12

The j'adore one does my head in. I think it's morally wrong to use images of dead people to peddle products, when those people aren't in a position to consent. It feels very exploitative, to me.

Also Charlize (sp?) Theron is beautiful. Wtf have they done to make her look so freakishly weird in that advert?

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 06/12/2012 18:14

Totally agree that the Sj ad has managed to make a very sexy young woman look terrible.

My all time hated perfume ad was the Chanel Nicole " i love to dance" Kidman naffola one that cost millions.

Second would be the nonsensical Kiera Knightly-on-motorbike twaddle

ScarletLady02 · 06/12/2012 18:18

All perfume ads are bizarre...I hate that one with the annoying French Barbie woman (nothing against French people AT ALL, it's the only way I can think to describe her as I can't remember the bloody name of the perfume). She bounces about and is generally annoying.

I hate the way perfume ads try and be deep and sell you "a lifestyle"...like car ads

Does it smell nice? That's all I want to know.

Rentergirl · 06/12/2012 18:20

Didn't she shag benicio del toro in a lift? I see that ad and I think ok I aint judgin you but audrey hepburn you're not.

MrsJingleBells74 · 06/12/2012 18:21

It makes me stabby.

Rentergirl · 06/12/2012 18:21

and the one with that girl who plays serena from gossip girl? she has her mouth hanging open like she was born for porn. shut your mouth.

stifnstav · 06/12/2012 18:25

Every time Brad says "inevitable" at the end of that ad, I get Tourettes and shout "Death and taxes!"

blonderthanred · 06/12/2012 18:28

My DH said they've achieved the impossible by making SJ unsexy.

LightHousekeeping · 06/12/2012 18:29

She's the most overrated actress IMO. There's something slutty about her. And I hate to say that about a sister.

SwedishEdith · 06/12/2012 18:36

I was nodding in agreement to all of these comments until I read Chandon's "I also really really hate the guy who says on a French accent" I am not going to be the person I am expected to be any more!" how very deep not" No, no, no I would leave my dp for him in the high likely event of being asked to He is gorgeous
