This is a stupid post but I am on my laptop and I have just seen this advert and this stuff is just coming out of my fingers. I know I ABU but bloody hell.

That new cancer research advert has just been on and i bloody bloody hate the fucking thing. I want them to get lots of money and its a good advert really but I wish I knew when it was on so I didnt have to bloody see it. It catches me by suprise and it does feel like a punch in the stomach.

I know that charities have to raise money and this is better than the chuggers thing we have just been discussing but the good adverts can sometimes be the worst IYSWIM.

No one need reply, honest. If I wasnt online I would have probably just sobbed, I wouldnt have logged on just to write this bunch of rambling nonsense

Oh chegirl, I am having a blub with you. YANBU- I haven't seen the ad you are referring to, and obv don't want to now. I don't know if it helps in any small way, but if and when I see it I will think of you and remember your beautiful daughter. I hope that came out right and you know what I mean. Huge hugs, you are an amazing lady

I feel sort of that way about blood donation adverts. If I could give blood, I would, but every time one of these adverts comes on, I just feel so guilty that I can't, and it puts me on a bit of a downer for a wee while after. Can't donate, as I myself have had 3 transfusions, and it just gets to me so much that I can't give something back.

Ack, forgot to say, I don't think you're being unreasonable at all. Me stoopid.

I don't even notice these adverts, tbh, that's how callous I probably am.

I fecking hate adverts that try to guilt me into anything, tbh, they always have the opposite effect.

My life has been marred by guilt.

Until quite recently I nearly ruined it and killed myself from guilt.

So I'm not really in the mood to entertain it much.

expatinscotland · 23/07/2009 01:24

I don't donate becuase I hate needles. I've had hundreds of them and I hated every one and still do.

I had HepA ages ago after eating off a dodgy street vendor in Venezuela.

How knows if I could even donate?

But I won't know because I'm so sick of getting jabbed I use Persona and condoms as contraception rather than get myself sterilised (DH won't get the snip) because it's more fecking needles.

YANBU. I have a monthly donation to Cancer Research via Direct Debit, and the adverts still make me feel really guilty, for some reason. Ditto the GOSH ones. And the NSPCC ones, although I give to them too

I guess that's the whole point.
