The endless Vanish (please make the pink shirts vanish :!: ) ads do my head in. The Tesco Compare one winds me up, too.

My GOD! I mean, what is it with the Littlewoods adverts? If any of you have wives or girlfriends, do they not run for cover at the first sign of rain? So WHY is it that a group of women who appear to have had kids with crayolas let loose on them start doing a dance to encourage the rain? Twats.

To fertilize their crops, I expect.

beatthatquote.com have a new advert with the boss ripping strips of wax off his employees' backs. I was waiting for one of them to get up and disgorge his eyeballs with a fountain pen. Wimps.

How do you know they weren't enjoying it?

Oh, and for the record, one that's really getting on my wick at the minute is that Kellogs one that';s encouraging children to bake and they that they could appear on tv. That boy has an incredibly irritating accent.

Children with annoying voices must be the gimmick of the moment in advertising. It's not even baking if there's no oven involved!

For kids with annoying accents, try listening to the Persil Small and Mighty radio advert.

How about we put it down to "all kids have annoying accents"?

I'm a kid (apparantly, I much prefer young adult or teenager), and my Midlands accent isn't annoying.
