Ads that get right on your tits

...made my gateway shudder in disbelief.

Just so we're all aware of the rules.

The new Iceland Christmas advert. Excuse me while I vomit my entire digestive tract.

It reaches new levels of awful.

Fuck me! I've just been assaulted by this wretched abomination. It's like hardcore christmas porn for the people who buy china figurines off the back of the Sunday Times magazine. Terrifyingly sickly, creepy and cloying, utterly charmless, and hankering after a marketing man's wet-dream of Christmas that hasn't ever existed, and never will. I think I now know what disgust feels like on a molecular level. I'm off for a quick acid-bath to get myself clean again.

All of them. The Dolmio of insurance adverts.

This is like spreading clap in a nunnery via anal rape, posting that here. Make. It. Stop.

The bloody Direct Line ads continue to annoy. Steven Fry will now never be considered by me to be anything but a cunt for his continued participation in those. You may have been clever once matey but now you're just an annoying cunt with a stupid plummy voice on some of the worst ads ever. Well done.

I saw that for the first time last night. The mere thought of attending a party catered by Iceland is bad enough, but that advert takes the idea and amazingly makes it a billion times worse.

Pampers ads. 'Buy our overpriced nappies and you'll be giving vaccines to babies in Africa'. Never mind that our parent company could buy a vaccine for nearly every baby in the world, if you buy cheaper nappies, you are a cunt who wants African kids to die. In fact all those ads where companies give miniscule amounts to charity when you buy, simply to increase sales and line their own pockets.

Also the fabric softener ads where they say 'if everyone bought our concentrated liquid, we'd take x lorries off the road each year'. If you care about the environment, then only make the concentrated stuff. Pretending to give a shit about saving the environment, whilst keeping the onus firmly on the consumer buying the (more expensive) product to do so. Nnnng.

Any company whose adverts pretend that they care about anything other than the generation of profit get right on my tits. Along with every other type of advert.

What's that one, I think it's for Johnsons baby wipes or something... anyway Hugh Laurie seems to have a disturbing obsession with babies' bottoms.

Beat you to it Orava but at least it's annoying more people then just me. Bloody irritating advert Page 8, second post

Well said and I hope consumers see that shitty way of selling soon.

Like those guilt-tripping charity ads that want "just" two or three quid a month to help "starving children in Africa" (or whatever). I do not need weekly reminders that due to no fault of my own people in another part of the world are having a really bad deal. I am unable to actually do anything constructive to help, and am sceptical that throwing money at the world's problems actually does anything useful and lasting.
