Television advert houses

Is it just me or is there something a little weird about how advertisers show their house "sets" for different products?


A prime example is adverts for vacuum cleaners/ carpet cleaners where the sofas are covered in crumbs and pet hairs or there is a big pile of dirt on the carpet.

Obviously the fake family are so messy that they need the product but most real people don't have homes like that (or do they?).


Other examples are massive luxury kitchens in food delivery or food kits adverts or bathrooms bigger than the inside of the Tardis for toilet cleaners


All quite surreal if you ask me.

I think you're well aware of what these evil bsta4s are up to Spartacus. Fancy a trip down semiotics lane?

SpringTime, are you trying to say they are selling me a dream.

Well no thank you very much the one where I go to work naked is bad enough hence why I don't go out much KidKruger or Socalise DR as I don't want that dream expanding into a naked trip to the pub (let's be honest absolutely no one would want to see that)


No thank you indeed, one bad dream at a time is enough for me

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
