Adverts

Absolutely do my f*cking box in, they do, especially on the telly. I don't watch a lot of TV, thankfully, and the stuff I do watch is usually on Beeb4, but if I'm watching commercial telly they fill me with incandescent rage. Hit the mute button straight off, I do. And there are so f*cking many. Try watching the football on ITV and they manage to fit three commercial breaks into the fiteen minutes between the show starting and the match kicking off. Grrrr.

All this business about f*cking meerkats gets right on my tits as well. Get my insurance with you and get a free toy? Why didn't you f*cking say so, I'd've been using your company all along if I'd've known I could have had some f*cking tat for the privilege. The f*cking book about it sold by the shedload last year as well. Marketing genius. Sell people a book about a fictional animal from a stupid cunting advert in order to pay for moreadverts to sell insurance to the same people. I swear to Christ the majority of people in this country are f*cking retarded. Whoever came up with that will have a job for life at that agency. They also want f*cking shooting if you ask me.

(i sometimes mute the TV to avoid adverts. The worst advert is the one about how males shouldn't hit females. As i said on page 111 of Paula's Rants thread and on the 15th of March, 2010, that advert freaks me out. Oh, and there was an advert that annoyed me a few days ago. i can't remember what it was for but it annoyed me that the phrase learning disabilities was used. People should just say disabled as it's less patronising.

Another thing that annoys me about adverts is when they sometimes have adverts that mention C-mas. They should wait until November.

Finally, an advert that annoys me is the Halifax advert where they sing A Hard Day's Night. This might not bother Stu as he isn't a Beatles fan. But i am so it invokes my fruity wrath.)

He's been advertising car insurance for a while, there was a debate about it on The Void.

i miss The Void as well. And of course i also miss Zine.

Singing on adverts is BAD all round, I reckon, expecially when they take decent songs a f*ck with the words to suit their own nefarious purposes.

Also, what the f*ck is Iggy Pop doing advertising car insurance?! Was disgusted to hear the Pixies on a car advert two or three years back an all. Bleurgh.

I always get depressed when I hear singing on adverts. I think about the poor guy/gal who had the soul-crushing job of singing a song about car insurance or consolidating debts.

Haribo Supermix with the family singing is the worst advert I've ever seen.

Morrissey has sold himself to an advert. Hypocrite. There could be anything in that boy's box. Even a dead cow.

i ended up putting More 4 on a couple of hours ago and i saw an advert for some weight loss thing. It showed a woman who had gone from size 10 to size 6 and another woman who had gone from size 10 to size 4.

As James said about Weight W*tchers in 2009: Still. F*ck them. Who are they to tell anyone to feel about anything?

Yeah, the people who made that advert should shut up and eat some pie.

Well, it seems like a reasonable answer to me. Still, i s'pose i'm biased about pies because of course people from Wigan are known for liking them.

I absolutely love this to bits.



So true as well.

i'm not keen on the advert where famous people suggest going on holiday in Britain and Ireland. i think it's patronising.

I think it's racist.

I Hate adverts on Youtube! they even interrupt my playlists now, totally breaks my writing mood

Download Adblock:
Firefox
Chrome

yeah ^ that.

i wondered what the hell everyone was complaining about, turns out anti-banner in KIS stops them from appearing so i've never actually had to sit through an advert to watch a video

I honestly can't imagine having to sit through video ads again. I don't mind regular internet ads as long as they're not the flashing CLICK ME CLICK ME! MEEEEEEP!!! BUY THESE SMILEYS!!! sort, but then a lot of them are these days.

I can't stand those ones with the talking dog in the ring box.

Anyways, does that chrome adblock get rid of the ads on 4od?

It sure does.

well there goes my productivity...
