Irritating Ads

[Spencer For Hire]

Anyone remember those faintly ridiculous "what to do in an emergency" adverts and booklet last year?

I remember the theme of the whole booklet being "Go in, Stay in, Tune in" then you turn over the page, and the fire safety officer says "Get out, Stay out, Get the Fire Brigade out."

I was always rather puzzled at the emphasis placed on listening to the radio in such circumstances. A shame the government never thought to tell those of us who work in radio what advice we're supposed to give to people in such circumstances.

"Apparently there's been some kind of nuclear terrorist attack - but don't worry about that, because we've got some great songs on the way, including Anastacia - next."

Why did I hear those words in my mind in a James Martin presentation style?

The world would be up shit creek then.

I've just seen an ad for a toothbrush which included a "dramatisation" (their word) of how it works.

I can only assume from this that the demonstration (my word) is an exaggeration.

I find the Skechers advert irritating. It's nonsense, it looks as if some drunken Americans from High School are trying to advertise their trainers using a stolen camera from their AV lessons.

OH NO YOUR TRAINERS

ER, THEY'RE NOT MINE

LOOK AT MY NEW SKECHERS.

What if there's a gas or chemical leak?

Go outside.

What if there's a gas or chemical leak?

Go outside.

What if theres a man with a megaphone saying go outside? Should you go outside?

I think you should log onto the internet and ask some strangers advice.
