if i punch the next RL child i see square in the face, it will be MNHQ's fault... that SODDING Cbeebies advert...

[AitchTwoToTangOh]

what on earth is going on? who exactly is the target audience, do they think we don't know about arsing cbeebies on here?

good diversion tactics there justine but whilst you're here where the feck is my Graham Norton

No Justine.

Justine!

Justine... surely the BBC lot must have some some things they want to tell us about, get our feedback on... not sure what exactly but if they are spending money on ads, then they must have some aim in mind. Maybe they need a micro-site type thing instead, perhaps a discussion thread about their latest programme idea (5yr old I care for seems to love that strange prog with the cartoon characters with real heads... DirtGirlWorld). So instead of doing an annoying animated ad, they pay you for the privilege of being able to ask us for our views and comments on latest programme ideas.
Could that work?

Yep, spot on NannyNick. We'll feed that back for sure.

NannyNick - you're a higher callibre of complainer here! we just want sodding shot of them

well done you!!!

I've interacted with the advert... I know, bad thing to do! It seems to be going through to I Can Cook a Honey Tea Loaf on iPlayer. Would have thought it more logical to link to the I Can Cook mini-site... ideally to the recipe's area, so we could (if we felt so inclined) print off the recipes and give them a try.
I do wonder what they are trying to achieve from the ad... more people to use iPlayer?

Well we don't want to put advertisers completely off paying MNHQ money, else we may lose mumsnet
So hope you don't mind me suggesting things that may, or may not work... in place of the silly animated ads, which clearly aren't working so aren't really any good for the advertiser, or MNHQ.

Don't think I've been called higher callibre before - Maybe I'm too experienced at moaning to organisations!

It would be bearable if the little blighters didn't move about so much!

carry on you're doing a great job

Has she been censored? I'm just getting a calm green square now, with an invitation to click a link to recipes.

she's back.

MN PLEEEEEEEEEEASE tell Cbeebies they have got it SO EFFING WRONG with this advert.

I HAVE annoying children who badger me for my attention all the fecking time (mostly because they want to watch cbeebies, how's that for irony?)

I do not need cbeebies to provide me with a virtual gurning, grinning, waving, hopping, infuriating child as well.

I am starting to hate the BBC and I never thought that was possible. Please tell them that this advert is NO WAY to win customers, in fact they are really and truly pissing me off here, I am considering a milkshake takeover just to register a protest.

You know what would be great? If they want to get attention to I Can Cook - how about a little square with this week's recipe and a link to the site?

I was really impressed with the cheese and tomato swirls she did yesterday and made them with DS.

If I saw an enticing-sounding recipe printed on the ad it WOULD make me more likely to watch (and I could make sure I had the ingredients in stock before the programme).

But a smirking tweenie is just begging me to ban telly for a month.

Nothing is bad enough to make me want to watch Milkshake

stop it WMMC, this thread is supposed to convince the bbc they need to stop, not make them realise what a devoted following they've got

I shall report your post for deletion on the grounds that it's spoiling the campaign.

hahahahaha funny you should say, i let dd watch milkshake this morning. i wonder if it was an unconscious protest?

Actually I think BBC is going to become patron saint of mumsnet soon.

Then you'll be sorry muwhwhwhhahahahhahah!

Milkshake is just telly for kids who need to know what to nag for at Christmas isn't it? And a pig. I don't know why a pig, but I believe there is a certain porcine quality to it.

i think MNHQ should request that advertisers should sned in adverts that do not move!
it drives me nutty!

I don't give a monkeys as long as they load after the main content

I swear, it's getting worse.

She's following me around she's now appearing on other sites

The gurning girl with the stage school side bunches has appeared on my screen.

I am losing my thin veneer of geniality.

Please make it stop, or I am going to have to leave.

It's horrible.

If anything it's put me off switching CBeebies on.
