Darth Vader Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I cannot stand those Halifax ads that have staff singing songs like 'I'll be there', like the company really gives a toss. Given their links to the arms trade, being embroiled in mortgage fraud scandals and excessive risk taking leading upto the 2008 crash, I think the adverts should have the bank's directors singing 'we're a bunch of greedy bankers & we couldn't give a **** about you'. Much more accurate. What he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 It's that toilet paper one. The one with the little kid who 'appears' to be the boss and plants a tree for every roll you buy or something just as daft. I could cheerfully 'slap' him!

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Another one here with the ffwd button. Ads popping up four minutes - four minutes! - into the programme make for extreme annoyance no matter what their content might be. For dramas and such like, I usually wait for the DVD, Lovefilm or Netflix. That's an Americanism - it fits into their 'scheme of things' (My recorder records the first 4 minutes, shuts down and then starts up - and records trhe rest without a break.) Netflix. I have a US subscription - costs me about $9 a month and it'S fair value for money. When I came to Europe this year and logged on, Netflix announced: "We see you are in Europe, so you can have - at no additional charge - a hugely downgraded service at exactly the same price!" Were you to obtain an IP transferral service in the US (a ghost IP address or a VPN) you might find your Netflix subscription far better value for money ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Any hair/make-up advert that comes out with such tosh as: 'NOW ... with new-improved semi-combustible, hypo-allergenic, anhydrous ceramines', 'New improved formula with advanced retinol anti-coagulant', 'New advanced retro-engineered technology, using 100% organic brain-stem cells', 'Now with zinc citrate trihydrate and formaldehyde for extra whiteness' The rubbish they're trying to flog's aimed at daft women ... not bio-engineers! The manufacturers come up with this garbage to justify why a pot of face cream costs £125.00. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that all make-up/hair products main ingredients are flour and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
