Irritating Ads

Why oh why is the boy in the BT Home-Hub adverts selling an internet connection and garden plants when he is supposed to be an estate agent? Why does the annoying one out of My Family BUY the house on the strength of these transient objects? Fool.
Why do Regency Finance use a bunch of ugmos telling me they "have the right" to buy Council house stock which will never be replaced? Why do they have the right? Why are they so ugly?
I demand answers.

"IS SEARCHING FOR CAR INSURANCE DRIVING YOU CRAZY?"
No, but the constant ads are. And that one where the woman films the guy on the phone to some company.

"WAA HAA HAA HAA HAA!!! I CAN'T GET CHEAPER CAR INSURANCE!"
Maybe if you stopped "acting" like a two year old brat/Nikki from Big Brother on a bad day.
And...
"HI! I'M BARRY SCOTT!"
Enough said.

He's on the phone to Mike - at Picture.
He's a bastard.

How can these halfwits be quoted for car insurance on a vehicle when they omit the most rudimentary details required to be underwritten?
"I want you to quote me happy... It's a hatchback... oh that's fantastic!"
*laughs like a 1st year drama student*

Pseudo-scientific commercials... like the one I saw this week for anti-aging toothpaste (I kid you not - look out for it)...
"It leaves your teeth up to 78% cleaner..."
78% cleaner than what? And "up to"? So it could be 2%? Than not brushing your teeth at all? Than using a Brillo pad?
*contains hyposparklyceramides for shininess.
Why are these people allowed to get away with such meaningless shit?

Why 78% whiter than if they'd used a competing toothpaste. You see, they have a time machine piloted by Jeremy Beadle and are able to travel back, change history - in this case the toothpaste used - and see how it all pans out!

Talking of percentages, is anyone else severely pissed off by all this 80% dead at one speed, but 80% alive at some other bloody speed business?
Why do we have to try to compare chalk and pears?
If it was all on ONE scale, like 20% dead at 60, or 80% dead at 90, then my brain would have half a chance of doing a proper comparison, and possibly, getting the message.
Everyone else on the planet is dumbing down, yet our stupid bloomin' government is making it so soddin' complicated in their infomercials that you can't do a proper comparison at all.
