It makes me want to put my fist through the computer screen, which is ok because im on my parents computer...

Kaloki · 19/11/2009 17:48

Glad I'm not the only one. Surely that advert can only appeal to the parents of the little girl?

claudialyman · 19/11/2009 19:46

I was hanging on for the ultra-annoying hide and seek waving kids to disappear and this is what we get instead. This! worse! worse! worse!

zazizoma · 19/11/2009 19:46

I almost wrote about this myself last night!

Goober · 19/11/2009 19:48

Get rid of it please somebody or I'm off to netmums!!

Monty100 · 19/11/2009 19:48

Apparantly a post-it note works.

Somebody suggested it when the hide and seek flicky annoying ad was on there before this one.

I am so glad that it's not just me. I have a very poor attention span and find it hard to concentrate at the best of times. That little girl with her tefal head (sorry if she's your daughter) drives me to dementia.
My dd saw her and is very jealous of her hair

VengefulSinner · 20/11/2009 09:33

It freaks me out for a second each time I see it pop up - it's too real as well.

Definitely annoying!

bibbitybobbityhat · 20/11/2009 09:39

Is it just me, or is it getting worse? She disappeared for a while a few days ago but now it feels like she jumps up at every click. I really do wonder who thought these ads would be a good idea.

You need to use a clump of post its or it shines through. I have a tube sock draped over the right side of my screen.

"You need to use a clump of post its or it shines through."

Soon she'll be climbing out of the screen in "The Ring" style.

mathanxiety · 20/11/2009 15:30

That's why I think DS's sock will be very handy.

mu daughter loves it, and consequentially assaults my real baby laptop to get at it.

EccentricaGallumbits · 20/11/2009 15:45

I'm getting RSI in my mouse hand from the trigger quick flicks to the right every time she pops up. I find sound effects helps a bit too.

deaddei · 20/11/2009 15:54

I've said this before when the annoying children were playing hide and seek.
She looks like a precocious stage school child- Bonnie Langford type- and her mum needs to give her a new haircut, preferably with a fringe.

Ripeberry · 20/11/2009 15:56

Glad it's not just me. As a childminder I even find these ads annoying

ProfYaffle · 20/11/2009 15:58

I've posted this on one of the other threads too but she's following me, she keeps popping up on other sites too. I'm going demented, I've never spent so much time in rl.

ChunkyChick · 20/11/2009 16:38

LeQueen I also am convinced she is Dr Who's lovechild. Ha ha!
