The Health & Safety Executive's new 'Shattered Lives' advert is horrible

I always thought if you got paid for doing some work it was not Volunteering.
These people did not Volunteer - they did some work and received payment. I doubt any of them would have done this if they were not getting something in return (unless they were on community service)

Not an ad, but the public information film for travel insurance is a wonderfully sarcastic piece of work:

The latest NatWest advert for "now open Saturdays" is very very irritating.

Am I completely missing the point of the current Walls Sausages advert?
Why is there footage of the controlled demolition of a building at the start of it...?

The whole campaign is about them only using the "two best bits" of meat in their sausage, with various analogies, like child being born/child leaving home, building being opened/building being demolished.
Its not the clearest of messages, perhaps - but I suppose the inference is that other brands use eyeballs, earholes and arseholes.

The Scottish advert for, er... something to do with using less energy... well anyway, the one with Gary Numan in it. I like it. Just the look on Gary Numan's face before the final pull-back. Numan does funny, who'd've thought it?

Getting mighty fed up with being advised that 'Hannah Montana' will be available later on the latest BT Vision adverts.
