I have seen the Hellman's advert twice in the last 24 hours.

Bring on the Quality Street and I'll be fulfilled.

Just seen a low budget 'save money by supporting your local market' advert. Shame the ad's not on YouTube because it's so bad it's good.

Can't stand the Vodafone 360 ad, possibly only because every time I hear the words "family group" I cringe at the hollow, clinical sentiment of it, before I realise, glancing at the 'Family' list in my MSN contact list, I'm a slave to that same precisely segmented twatiness I spend my whole life bitching about. Urgh.

Carol McGiffin is advertising boilers in the South East...

Can't find a copy on YouTube though!

So much so you decided to share it with us on facebook as well - are you in the pay of Gordons?

Not really an advert but I didn't know where else to put this.

The blurb on the new Galaxy packaging reads thus:
Did you ever think that the shape of a piece of chocolate could affect the way it feels to eat? Well, that’s why we lovingly created our new Galaxy shape. A new sumptuous shape to enhance the smoothness in every bite.
We are not America. They might as well have put, 'Did you ever think that maybe...' :roll: I also object to the use of the words 'eat' and 'bite', because they're such matter-of-fact words. The person who wrote this rubbish must be very lucky to have a job in copywriting.

Back to actual adverts now and there's a new Wii Fit advert for "an exclusive camera that scans the contours of your body", or some such nonsense, and also shows you exercising in real time on your TV, like a... oh yes, a mirror.

Really can't stand the Budweiser ad that is perpetually running on 4OD at the moment, mainly because everyone who appears in shot appears particularly glaikit, and the collective "ahhh" at the end fills me with murderous murderous rage.
