advert Critics
 
Does anyone else sit there picking holes in tv adverts ? It's a source of amusement in our house becasue I often go off on a rant about them.

As an example, I've just seen an advert for Currys. The advert claims that they are committed to low tv prices. The example given, a Samsung TV reduced from £749 to £549.

If they are so committed to low tv prices why were the selling it at £749 in the first place :(

Err because of changing market economies, recouping of initial investment costs, improved supply models, better purchasing power, and new technology meaning old stuff gets cheaper ?????

How many people who use Flash have a kitchen you wouldnt let a dog eat of never mind a human ?
What good is a car thats good at being on long windy roads, when most people travel on straight roads to and from work ?

What gets me is all the women on adverts with so called beauty products,
because your worth it, WORTH what, bloody hell, when you see some of the worth its round the town, its more like DIY SOS needed, and they think they are gods gift to creation.

But for putty paint and glue what the ell would they do.

Retlaw.

If men took them as they are all that slap wouldnt be needed. Sadly though men are getting in on the act so soon we could be as bad as them if that way inclined. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
