Adverts

[Annette Curtain]

Didn't they used to be quite clever ?

So far, the following make me wish to increase my alchohol consumption/gnash-my-teeth/kill-the-makers.

1. The Littlewoods ad:

Just fk right off. Yes it hits every button, such as: Scream expletives now, smash the TV & comit arson.

2. The Uncle Bens ad:

A man throws a pack of rice into a naturally occurring hot spring, it then flys back out as the hot water spouts upward and is caught by a bloke with a tray.

Strap line: Cooks perfectly in 10 minutes even if you don't have a geyser/geezer in the house.

Jesus h Christ, some (wan-ky ad exec) body sat there and thought of that up, then pitched it to the client, who then fobbed it off on us.

Note to Uncle Bens.

I am not a moron, I will never (underlined) buy your stupid product. I'd rather have Krispy-Kreme doughnuts rammed up my rear end by a Stevie Wonder impersonator driving a dodgem car.

I hope you choke on your own products while watching the Littlewoods ad.

Other than that, I HATE YOU.

You'd think so but no.

Then again, any telly is too much telly.

P.s. Metamono are "performing" Friday at Crystal Palace Jah.

I think you're probably watching TV channels that aren't reaching out to people like you.

I have a genetic offshoot of my family that would be hooting about the geyser/geezer wordplay for months. The men still sing 'who let the dogs out?' in pubs. They're proud to be geezers.

It's those lovey dovey baby ads for companies like johnsons that really bug me. "make every bath time special" crap who ever has a "special" time bathing their devil child? There's no smiles from loving parents in this house and the happy giggling cheekiness of little monster is only the result of them having soaked the bathroom floor and those assisting in the bathing after "splashing" around rather energetically. Would be better to compare the experience wiv de-fleaing one of them long haired canine beasts whilst holding a toffee apple!

[Huguenot]

Ha ha.

Fast forward button?

[Atticus]

Flintoff, Morrison's. Shopping there is just one great big hoot.

[david_carnell]

But have you seen this year's John Lewis advert?

I think I just shed a small tear.

Oh dear god - I'm becoming my mother! Curse you marketeers for knowing how to tug on my emotions like this.

[*Bob*]

Another John Lewis/Smiths sync - great news for Mozza and Marr - and another one of those song choices that absolutely sucks satan's cock at anything below surface level.

Should go down a storm with the same type of planks who pick the psycho-stalking classic Every Breath You Take as their first dance at their wedding.

[david_carnell]

Didn't get asked to work on this one then, Bob?

[spongebob]

very rarely watch TV (I have a life)

2 words though

Go Compare

[Atticus]

spongebob and that life, involves a lot of reading, posting on a public forum?

[Senor Chevalier]

*Bob* I got hauled up on a Hicks quote on a previous thread so I'll do the same to you.

Oh and if you're in marketing...kill yourself

[Marie81]

I am glad to hear I am not the only one the Littlewoods advert grates on. Everytime it comes on, which is too often I want to pick up a pin and stick it into my eyeball! I find the advert nauseating, it's so bloody cheesy! Plus the stupid rap bit sticks in my mind all day arh!!

[MrBen]

I knocked down a stud wall in my kitchen last night and found an old copy of the London Evening News in the plaster.

The following advert can be found in the classifieds section of the March 12th 1974 edition and it is reproduced without alteration below:

Damm, must have missed the ad for that

[Ted Max]

Mr Ben, I think if you keep knocking things down* you may yet find the bricked-up remains of the Girl Friday that answered the ad.

(PS. I wonder if you bought SteveT/Dickensman's old house)
