And don't go and see the new film 'Gravity' - that cost $100m to make.

Where will it end?

Sandra Bullock in Demolition Man gets into her car and starts singing an ad like it was a regular song- that was enough for me to mute every ad that has ever be shown since.

[Alan Medic]

The ad is just sickly. Are some of you really grown ups?

[aquarius moon]

They've excelled themselves again.

I want a pet penguin now!

[speedbird]

The sex trafficking of the penguins highlighted in this commercial...... Sad hahahaha!

[Earl Aelfheah]

It's an advert FFS. I can't believe the amount of attention it's getting.

....and now I've just added to it. Damn those ad men - evil genius.

What sort of masochist watches commercials out of choice these days?

With PVR machines costing less than a hundred pounds there really is no need to spoonfeed lukewarm diarrhoea into your mouth and say mmmmmmmmmm.

Quite frankly, the advert sucks satan's scaly pecker - but will no doubt strike a chord with anyone who beat a path to Kensington Palace and lay a rose, blubbering like a big baby etc etc

You don't like the advert then?

[*Bob*]

It's like peering into a toilet after the flush to watch a turd go down - and finding yourself overcome with emotion by the smoothness of its removal. I'm mean, yeah, you could - but why would you want to, given the choice?

It's slick, but then by christ it should be for a cool million.

[jimbo1964]

I quite like it also.

[aquarius moon]

I think it's time you got in touch with your emotional side *Bob*

Feel the love :)

[Jeremy]

The final scene makes me want to puke.

[*Bob*]

I'd like to see a post-watershed version with both penguins being shot in the face and the kid locked in a cupboard until Boxing day.

Ho-Ho-Ho

I actualy just looked at it on you tube because between here and facebook I have seen so many comments about it.

It's bloody awful!

As was the one they did last year.

You *Bob*?

I have an excuse: I am required to watch all manner of shite because it's part of my job. So that should I find myself sitting in Adam&Eve/DDB in front of someone wearing fashion victim sunglasses with a 'creative box' of play lego on their desk - and they ask me "hey, did you see our JL spot???" then instead of saying "no, I fast-forward all adverts because they bring nothing of interest to my life" I am able to say "YES! My body was enveloped in a curious warm glow, my heart melted - and I felt compelled to purchase a Nespresso machine and a faux-silk throw from a chain retailer sporting a slogan nobody actually understands - even the staff."

[steveo]

Sounds like you work for Trashbat

[El Pibe]

oh you bastards made me watch it. I can see why the sex trafficking parallels now!!

[Dopamine1979]

It's a nice advert you heartless grumps.

['bout now]

It's an advert, playing on your better nature, in order to get you to spend money on shite you cannot afford.

Bless.

(ad science lesson 3, just under sex.)

Me too - on first view though I just kept thinking everything must smell terribly of fish...
