To hate Clearblue with a passion

[FlockOfTwats]

I need to tell someone how much i hate Clearblue. The rage I feel whenever i see that god forsaken advert is just not normal. I just don't think it's normal to hate an advert so much, and i don't believe that anyone keeps a pile of £10 a go pregnancy tests laying around to pee on incase a visitor drops by.

Please, Either share your stories advert induced rage with me, or send some form of help as i fear that i WILL murder the TV next time i hear 'I'm 1 to 2 weeks pregnant'. Who says it like that anyway?

This thread has put such a smile on my face

Some kind of yogurt that men can eat in prison.

It is white with blue paint in it.

Obviously you have to be a "double hard bastard criminal" to eat it. It must be full of razors.

Clearblue just seem to have no idea that a good number of women taking a pregnancy test are hoping very much that it's not positive.

Bloody beauty product adverts. "Now, with added madeuppian! Use our product or you'll look like all your skin has fallen off! After all, independent tests show that 60% of the women we took on an all-expenses-paid 'testing' panel thought the product was quite nice, but that they could probably get the same effect with a good sleep and a relaxing sit down without anyone shouting at them"

God YY to Clearblue.

"There is such a thing as a little bit pregnant".

No. No there fucking isn't is there?

That yoghurt advert doesn't make sense!! I've never visited a prison but I've watched orange is the new Black and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be allowed to take young hurt into a visiting room. That's number 1. Then there's the fact that she sort of slurs the statement. Does she say 'I've bought your liberte or I've bought you a liberte? Also liberte is French? So pretending it's not weird to throw it into a sentence gives me rage.

And like that bloke gives a shit if it's fat free!!!!

I'm going to have to hide this thread, it's making me unusually angry. Now the park lady is telling me that I should start saving with them for Xmas 2014! You know, so that park can profit from the interest that I would have accrued if I'd put the money in the bank?
At least the go compare man doesn't sing anymore eh?

Hahah Thatisall are you watching itv by any chance? The parks advert just came on and my DP had the rage that they're banging on about Christmas already!

The prisoner does a little victory leap as he makes his way back to the cell...

"I've got 15 years of chokey for garotting the old lady next door, but at least I've got a pot of yogurt coated paint to enjoy once a month. It makes it all worthwhile."

I am. I'm not ashamed to say it's my day off, I'm still in my dressing gown and Jeremy Kyle has come on and I'm too lazy to change the channel haha

Ooooh Jeremy Kyle. Is that still on? Might have a bit of Telly in bed.

It's my guilty pleasure on a Wednesday morning

An asda advert just used the term 'ickle' when comparing the price of babywipes.

The Cillit bang one makes me smile. Only because my 4 year old dd watched it and said "Mummy, can we buy that for our keys? I want to wash our keys!" :o

Be proud Thatisall, I actually cried when that 21 year old was on and found out he was the dad and wasn't bothered (I'm hormonal, it's a valid reason to cry!)

Now, with added madeuppian! love that! You are all suggesting the ads in would have said too!

The Clearblue ad is indeed shite but just to check, you all know that the ones they sell in Home Bargains work just as well, right? Also the eBay ones. Dunno about the Poundland ones but probably.

from bodyform is the perfect antidote to this lot. It's pretty funny at taking the piss out of the sanitary protection industry advertising norms and gimmicks

thinkaboutit I've just reshared that on FWR!

An advert on at the moment which I both love and hate is the one about the Which laptop guide - imagine having to act that stupid!

*And you just know some dipshit is waiting for Clearblue to release the test that tells you if it's a boy or girl.

Pricks.

I think you may be my soulmate.

I have two particular pet hates that spring to mind right now. Firstly the dettol gadget that dispenses your handwash liquid because your pump action bottle is TEEMING with bacteria that will get all over your hands and KILL YOU TO DEATH - erm, you are about to wash your hands in antibacterial handwash - which will kill the bacteria from your infested bottle - so this dispenser gadget is a total waste of money.

Secondly, the one about how our clothes are teeming with bacteria (that are presumably going to KILL US TO DEATH, if the handwash bottle ones don't get us first - maybe it is a plot and the handwash bacteria are In League with the clothes ones), so we need to buy a special washing powder to kill the bacteria before they kill us. I may be wrong, but I don't think the news has been full of clothes-bacteria-related deaths.

SDTG - I actually asked the people who run Dettol about this once when I met one of them at aconference and the answer I got was basically, 'we know there is a logic flaw but people seem to like it anyway - it's selling really well. We're about to do some research to better understand why it is such a success'

So even they are a bit bemused!

The nurse at my gps told me that the pregnancy tests in £land are branded ones which have very short expiry dates so are sold on cheap to try and make some money back!
She said they were ideal for the bugger where's my period been for a week! Test, but not to chuck in the draw for a later date!
