Fucking Moonpig

[Hedphelym]

Has anyone else seen those annoying, awful, and completely downright fucking weird adverts for Moonpig cards?

It drives me mad, not only because it's so embarrasing, but because it's so bloody weird.

If I was a child, I'd be having nightmares envisioning something awful that sang "Moooooooon piiiiiiiiig" in a rising key.
God, it just makes me shudder.

Yeah, I had a moan about it earlier...

Moan away all you like, it's a supremely irritating advert

esppecially when your tone deaf flatmate sings it loudly over your film and your both in seperaate rooms and shes overpowering the film sound.

Is there something wrong with screaming SHUT THE FUCK UP when she does, though? Almost always worked for me

If they're singing off octave, they've probably got headphones on turned up loud. I once knew someone who did that, they obviously couldn't hear themselves, let alone anyone in another room. Sort of funny since I only heard them occasionally, and they were wildy off tune, both up and down scale, but it would have been really annoying in to be in the next room if the walls were accoustically thin.

I suppose headphones are unlikely with TV adverts, but it really was funny at the time, Jennifer Rush's "The power of Love" with all the words, but almost completely off tune.
