You know, the ones where one person put a lampshade up, then an armchair etc. Everyone working together! And...the one with the "not-an-actor" guy given unlimited texts and 3,000 people - friends of his apparently - turn up and make a huge band...
Similar one with band playing in a sewer!!!
Or, hundreds of people linking hands to help you walk to your door.
Yeah, right, all these people working just for YOU.

NO! All these people trying to fleece you from your hard earned cash!
Our noble City of London "Bankers" - I think I spelled that correctly - have shown the way forward: We'll take you for all we can, get fatter/richer and leave you high and dry.

Tell you what, I thought my upbringing was tough in a working class industrial area in S.Wales, but.. Boy, I feel sorry for youngsters today. Everyone's out to make a buck from you, and damn the consequences.
Rant ends...for now. Watch this space.

    I get the feeling adverts in general are unpopular :lol:

    Ones with reassuring regional accents used to hide the fact that the company is a heartless corporation. The British Gas one currently on Spotify is a great nasty example.

    I almost always time-shift my TV watching, so much so that I don't know who's advertising what in Splottboy's example. Occasionally, I suppose, I must miss the rare quality advertising campaign. But that's a small price to pay.

    Charlie Brooker? CHARLIE BROOKER?? I love him, what a great insightful article.
    So, it's not just me getting old, grouchy and bitter/twisted.

    Only advert I liked was when me and my mate Bob, got into the background in a "Gentlemens" calendar. Think Pirelli, but in Nottingham, and you'll get the picture.
    ( The colder Notts climate is much better for this type of calendar, than say the Maldives! )
    Calendar was for Notts printing company.
