Ads that get right on your tits

[RedOktober]

Just about everything overlooks the beach in Tenby. Apart from the arcade... is it still there?

[Kelloggs]

One of them does - or, at least, did last time I was there. Which is, admittedly, nearly twenty years ago...

[Yak]

"Excuse me. Is your toothpaste working?"

[carolen]

"Excuse me, do you dry-wipe?" I'm amazed she didn't get punched...

[Col]

Boots STILL using that godfuckingawful Here Come The Girls song. Fuck you Boots, I'm off to Superdrug.

I find the Joanna Page ads for Superdrug just as annoying. Although she is lush.

and



These two adverts are currently doing my head in...

[Ratsoap]

Every time one of those Paul Whitehouse ads comes on the TV, I lose a little bit of respect for one of my childhood comedy heroes. Does my brain in.

Anything with music that has clapping, whistling and/or finger-clicking in. Fuck off. And whispering. And suicidal food items (M&Ms and Ribena berries). And those bloody McDonalds adverts - it's just burgers, and no matter how you spin it it's not about healthy kids at all.

also have you seen the ads for that Renault electric car? IT HAS NO WINDOWS. Fantastic for British weather. Did they learn nothing from Uncle Clive?

[TheDuke]

I hope his hard drive dies and he ends up getting amnesia. Tosser.

And don't get me started with fucking meerkats. If I had my way I would have coats made out of meerkat fur sent to the Compare the Market offices with notes explaining the blood is on their hands until they stop making those annoying fucking adverts.

[sack]

'Think bike' adverts are my current hate.

now they wouldn't annoy me if the average motorcyclist behaved in any way like the ones in the adverts, in which case they'd be just as deserving of care and attention as anyone else out there on the road.

But the fact is in the Kingston/Richmond area approximately 90% of them are cunts. I let one filter across the front of me from the right to the left in traffic yesterday and he repaid the favour by mounting the pavement, putting his foot down and nearly hitting a woman and child.

That's possibly an extreme example, but I've lost count of the amount of times I have to brake hard for one of the fucknuts flying down the wrong side of the road, usually over a bridge or around a corner, to avoid a queue of cars and leaving themselves unable to get over on to the right side of the road when they realised they didn't bother to check if what they were doing is safe, only to get a load of shouting and abuse for having done so. It's quite common to see them nearly take cyclists off when they're cutting along the cycle lane too.

Bollocks to them - if they don't give a flying fuck about their own safety (and more importantly everyone elses) then why the hell should I?

Just stop portraying them as innocent people who are little angels on two wheels that the big, bad boys in their massive metal cars keep bullying.

I'd not heard about this but I've just looked and what the fuck!?! £45 a month battery hire? On top of paying nearly £7k for the golf cart itself? Fuck that right off

Unless you're a wealthy young urbanite you're not the target market and I doubt they're too upset about your displeasure. Personally although I'm not wealthy, young or an urbanite, I quite fancy one. They look cool.

I still believe there's a fundamental flaw in electric cars, I know I should study the subject better before to say this BUT the point of an electric car ( for ME ) is that 'finally something NOT using petrol' where I'd HOPE this means 'cheaper to run it than buying petrol'.

But .. is this really true ? Is/would be it really CHEAPER compared to petrol ? Is it really the cost to recharge such a battery less than filling a car with car ?

This puzzles me, I know it Italy it would be NOT cause for us electricity is LOT more expensive than petrol itself plus electricity has to come from somewhere which in our case means for most of it 'imported from another country'

Battery hire is bullshit, that already alone makes the car 'impractical' especially if on the top of it you have to put the cost of the energy to recharghe it.

The BIG question is, computations at hand including ALL the factors : "are electric cars really more convenient compared to petrol ?".

Because in the end ( forgetting pollution and such ) "it's all about money" really.

[Rhythm]

The fundamental flaw in electric cars is that they're still cars, taking up just as much roadspace per person and just as likely to cause major injury should you hit someone. Whilst electric cars will solve one of the issues of cars, the other problems still exist and new ones are introduced by the armful.
