8)   Has anyone else noticed that there are always terrible adverts on when you are eating.

Examples are,  Remington Nose Hair remover,

                        Senokot

                        Otex ear wax remover

 and anything to do with women's bits  Tenalady, tampons etc. ::)

Which adverts do you hate?

Do our members who live abroad get the same kind of adverts?

Is it just me???
 
Although the following are disturbing they make you reflect and realize

The Smoking One
Not wearing a seatbelt and the Drink Drive campaign

There are very disturbing scenes in these but it makes you think, One of my problems was I never wore a seatbelt, once you see the advert of someone flying through the windscreen you soon change your opinion and its the first thing that goes on when im in the car.
 
I think a lot of adverts have gotten to be very sleezy over the years, the people who promote the adverts seem to think that useing sex  will sell anything, are people so shallow as to fall for it. The answer is YES.
 
The Macdonalds adverts make me puke.....if we can ban fag adverts, then surely we can ban Macdonalds. The stuff is a rip-off, a health hazard and an insult to our intelligence.. [smiley=pain30.gif]
 
the worse ones over here are the condom ones that come over the radio, nothing worse than being stopped at traffic lights with the windows down to the sound of people having sex! (in a commercial!)
 
What flavour condoms do you get over there? Have you got chicken vindaloo? Strawberry Icecream?
 
then again here are the directions for use on your standard condom maschine:-
1. insert money to full value
2. twist knob sharply to the left
3.Take goods out
OK no problem but after nr. 2 who is interested in using the condom.My eyes were still watering
 
[quote author=littlemo the worse ones over here are the condom ones that come over the radio,

Reading this sentence i could easily lose the thread
 
The advert that used to really, really wind me up was the one for lockets, the upper crust chap dressed in tweeds and snorted like a pig, put me off buying lockets i can tell you.
 
>:(  Cosmetics adverts like face creams etc also try to baffle you with bull. What the hell are AHA's and micro whatsits and all the other pseudo-scientific rubbish they harp on about.

Sometimes I think it's a case of  if you can't convince em, confuse em. [smiley=idunno.gif]
