The closest thing I compared it to was eating soap. Awful AWFUL stuff. I was pretty gutted as I thought, what with their largely excellent food, the Americans would be good at chocolate.

Couldn't believe what I found to my horror when I flipped on the Telly this morning
"Who you gonna call? 1-1-8"
..why ruin a classic?

Was disappointed too. It's like eating highly-compressed brown talcum powder.

The T-Mobile ad with the people who take their tops off is greatly annoying. The stupid "I wanna talk" 'tune' in the background is half the annoyance, with the other 50% being the idiotic faces of the people.
Fortunately, it's not on very often.

The lad with the pink T shirt and hand outstretched at the end is very handsome, I think - so I don't mind that commercial at all.

There's an ambulance-chasing-lawyer's advert on at the moment that contains the line "have you been the victim of an accident" twice.
Can an accident have a victim?

I also think they have a very odd combination of products. Beds, sofas, dining tables and PCs.
Their latest ad seems to have a less shouty Australian bloke doing the voiceover, but the "small print" is far too small and the credit arrangements are spoken through at warp speed, making them hard to hear.
And how many years has almost every break on UTV had a DFS ad and those Allianz ads with Queen's "I Want It All" blaring at top volume?

I don't know. I don't watch UTV. Or ITV (and looking at it's share price today no one else is either).

At least Apple had the decency not to put a face to it, so it's better than the smug twattery that is the blackberry advert. God I loathe those people.
