Oh this advert has got me sooo mad that I need to vent somewhe here...


My sister and I had always shared this thing for analysing adverts. Is this weird, or do you find yourself critiquing adverts or discussing what makes a good/bad advert?


At the moment I am currently quite angry about the Sugar Puffs advert.

I love the Mighty Boosh and all of its weird genius. And I've turned on the tv to see the Sugar Puffs have done the most pathetic rip-off in the attempt to be "on the pulse" of what's funny. Aww it's so bad I had to leave the room before I shouted and got angry! (6)


Seriously, who was the cretin who stood up in the ideas meeting andput that shambolic idea forward - they need a good slap!



Ahhhhhh... feel all better now. Thanks guyz >:D<

Oh and I found another one last night that was more disgusting than anything else.


Has anyone seen that Crunchy Nut advert where the woman is sitting in the car with a box of cereal and milk.

(I think it's actually and old advert)


And then she pours the milk in and then shovels it into her mouth!


Oh, it's so disgusting! Again - it's one of those where I get so embarrassed and disgusted that I have to leave the room.


Also, Mr VBC pointed out, where can you buy a glass pint of milk these days? (like in the Cornflake advert)

Of course the mighty John Cooper-Clarke did a few Sugar Puffs ads some time back. It may have been in the throes of his narcotic phase, but what the flip, I bet his motives were pure (he needed the money) and whoever suggested him at whatever ad agency, I say give that man a cigar. Just for once I'll resist my normal Hicksian tendency to suggest that he deserves to die.

The Mighty Boosh? Not watched it yet. I've a feeling in my water I won't like it.*

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
