I'm sure David Beckham has been in just as many if not more at the same time.

I don't know if it's already been mentioned in this thread, but it's thousands of pages long, so I'm unable to check. I nominate the Dominos pizza adverts for making me want to tear out my hair and tear off my face and smash my house up with a brickbat.

Aside from it NOT being how you yodel (I know how to yodel, and you don't just go "hoo hoooo!" at the end of everything), I hate their stupid faces as they do it. Looking coyly at me, knowing that they’re about to do it and ruin my entire day. Also, it’s an advert for PIZZA. Do you even once see a PIZZA in these adverts?! No. So what is the point of them other than to ruin my life?

I once ate a Dominos pizza and I found it overpriced and not very nice so I don't eat it, but if I did, I would boycott it until they fired those fucking adverts into the sun. I properly PROPERLY hate them, and they make me want to leather everyone.
Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.

But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

No.1 rule of advertising and sales, sell the sizzle not the sausage.

If they showed their pizza, they'd probably run afoul of what's now described by Ofcom as 'less healthy food and drink' and its associated advertising restrictions. If it's just the general concept of Domino's, then you might well think of their other products, like, er, y'know...

(did they not used to have a token 'healthier' option on their menu, or did I imagine that?)

I don't mind a Domino's, but have found that I sleep terribly after having one for dinner. My main irritation with them is the byzantine selection of deals they offer, and despite the 'deals wizard' you can sometimes beat it by adding a coupon code, or additional items that you don't really need.
