A bad advert is bad in any way, be it "my cat loves whiskas, I love my cat" or the "I love my cat, and my cat loves whiskas". The ad is just plain rubbish.

From my tellywatching last night, I note that Gavin from AutoGlass seems to have been replaced by Steve from AutoGlass. In an odd twist, it looks like Steve drives a van with Gavin printed on the side.

Oddball ad for Plenty kitchen towel featuring 'Juan Sheet' - a Nicolas Cage look-alike - and pronunciation just itching to be misheard.
