Ads that get right on your tits

[Yak]

Oh and anything that promises to "nourish" your hair. Good luck with that, hair's dead. So no amount of "nourishing" will "wake it up".

Mind you I do like the CG camel on that one Gerbil Essences ad.

[venusian]

now they have to imply that for some reason all women are somehow likely to piss on their camel unless they wear girl nappies.

You need to talk to a woman who's had a couple large kids about this.

And let us not forget Iggy fucking Pop.

[Alarm]

Oh, yes. "I'm not selling insurance" indeed.

"Kills 99% of the bacteria" ... the problem is you'll get ill/die because of that 1% left ...

A moderate exposion to bacteria is actually good for your immune system.

BTW Yak, stop watching TV, you won't miss anything!

We only watch 1 hour a day or so ( or even less than that ).

If we don't do that then we are really glued to the same chair nearly 18 hours on 24, every now and then the couch is needed ...

"I want to do a poo at Paul's house". I'll kick you up the arse so hard you'll not be doing a poo anywhere for a month or so if I ever see you you irritating little shit. Why his mother doesn't give him a smart clip round the ear I don't fucking know.

I fucking hate that advert, and I guess you don't have to be called Paul to do so, but if you are called Paul I guess it just takes the annoyingness of the ad up to 11.

That Dulcoease advert is another I find intensely irritating; you can just imagine some advertising exec thinking it was 'clever' to ape Sex in the City for an ad' about constipation. Twat.

What is it with the proliferation for adverts for 'feminine' products anyway?

We only watch 1 hour a day or so ( or even less than that )....

... and that hour alone provides enough ammunition for this rant?

Ye ${deity}. Guys, find a DVD or some film channel for your breaks, if you can't avoid TV altogether. At least find a channel without adverts!

Oh, yes. "I'm not selling insurance" indeed.

Added to the fact that Swiftcover at the time were not offering life insurance to musicians, so Iggy couldn't get life cover from the company he was advertising...

[Yak]

They should put proper ads on. "DRINK MORE TEA - Go on, nip and put the kettle on." "EAT MORE CURRY - Have a vindaloo tonight, you know you want to!" "Isn't it time you went down the PUB?" "GO ON, SKIN UP! - this message sponsored by RIZLA"

Now those I could put up with .

[Ratsoap]

[Yak]

there actually WERE adverts telling you to drink more tea!



awesome

I used to have a postcard book of old ads from around the 30s, and they were all straight to the point.

My favourite was one saying how more doctors smoked Camels than any other brand of cigs.

In fact, here it is:

[teamonkey]

By far the worst advert I have ever seen.



Every face a punchable one.

[Cloudane]

Can you imagine the outcry now (cigar ads etc), it's surprising enough they don't get whinged at for advertising beer

Allow me to add - anything with sell-outs like Carol Vorderman or Alan Sugar. And if Great Ormond Street is the only one benefiting in some way (betting on a "gift" of a 6 figure "nominal value" in there somewhere, like those CEOs with $1 salaries) I will bare my arse out of Woolies... Er... Microsoft Windows.
