No it isn't. Why is he on crutches?

Because he's disabled - he uses his crutches as part of his performance art.

Ah. That explains that.

I just don't find it a compelling advert. If I was to intellectually study it, then I can deduce that it's all very nice choreographed, but the muted colours, bland song and its inability to amount to anything just makes the whole thing decidedly - meh.

has anyone seen the new Glade Touch and fresh advert.
Kid: "Mum I want to do a poo...."
Mum: "Come on then.."
Kid: "I want to do a poo at pauls house"
Mum: "Dont be silly.. come one"
Kid: "I want to do a poo with the nice smelly thing" (or words to that effect.)

I do get the impression that the aforementioned Paul likes to touch the kid in his special place - but as its not mentioned on the advert I can not be sure.
Its not much better than the Chinese kid one "its all gone, its all gone"

Not as good as the original though.

It is likley the advert was made by weebl, because he really would not like someone using his song in a advert.

The novelty has worn off now for me too, it's not that good.

I think this 'paedo Paul' is supposed to be a friend of the boy who's the same age as him. It just sounds dodgy because 'Paul' is a grown-up sounding name, whereas if his name was 'Daniel' or something it would be more obvious.

Just because he is young does not stop Paul touching him in his special place. I never mentioned age. he might be expressing his desire to get into preforming arts

If you go on to the 118 24 7 website, you will see the "inspiration" button and that tells you that Weebl did the whole thing.

Did you spot Magical Trevor? And something happens to one of the people in the clouds at the beginning.

I knew there was something a bit odd about DAS's posts!

There's a new weed killer advert with CGI weeds. I find them quite disturbing.

There's an ad at the moment for some chocolate-covered-biscuit-sticks which is Japanese or Chinese or something like that.

It's where the woman climbs onto the photocopier to get the box of aforementioned confectionary product, and sets it off photocopying her undercarraige... The ad seems a bit rude mind!

The new Sure Ultra advert with the air-hostess ("I've been doing it for over 12 years...") sounds like it's been voicedover by Kate Robbins and sounds more like a Eurotrash-esque pisstake!
