The hand gestures, the way she says "super absorbent cooore", the way she "feels pretty" like a five year old, and the way she looks at he camera! Just everything about it. Then I feel bad for her for how much she annoys me! Uuuurgh.

Any adverts you have an irrational hatred of?

I’m sure that any product marketed at women doesn’t have many (or any) women deciding how to advertise. Cause surely we’re all past cycling in white hot pants to advertise pads. Drives me batty,
Particularly when I’m on because I want better pads not more told how lucky I am that me and some women in Vienna can wear different pads.

The ads where people spray the roots of their hair with touch up stuff. OMG, we can all tell that someone has heavily talced (is that a word) your expensively salon dyed hair to give you a badger stripe, which you are now going to pretend to spray in a big swoop, not peering into a mirror anxiously like real people would do. It's all bollox!!!!!

A charity advert - I think it is a Barnado’s advert - which uses the worst cover ever of a pop song - it has been slowed right down, slurred and sung in the breathiest voice. I hate it with a passion for what it did to a decent song.

There are others that get right on my tits but I can’t remember them right now - I think I have blanked them from my mind because I hate them so much - I will come back when (if) I do remember!

I’ve remembered one of the others - the Bud Light “Dilly, dilly” one. It is such arrant nonsense. I cannot believe that anyone is so stupid as to think anyone talked like that - so why would it persuade anyone to buy their crappy beer??
