Annoying Adverts

[Dave Davenport]

Slightly OT but who are all these people whose houses stink so much they need air fresheners that puff stuff out when you walk past them?

Have you noticed that everyone with a DFS settee lives in a house the size of a premiership footballer's? I assume they won't sell them to you if you live in a council flat.

i want fabric says Mum, I want leather says Dad, f**k off says me to the telly.

i think it's the repetition of them that gets to me

he wanted a sofa for less than £500, we found him one.

yes, you did. whilst £499 is technically less than £500, it doesn't make you a fantastic opportunity not to be missed, does it?

That "40 over 40" ad about erectile disfynction. The fat middle aged guy getting frisky in the kitchen makes me wanna barf.

Wanna know something? Here's an advert a lot closer to home. I just idly flipped through this month's Cycle, and there was that Conti ad. - you know, the one with the four - er - 'mature' German ladies gracing it. I wasn't sure what to think about this one, is it demeaning to German folk in general or what? I passed it to Mrs P, and her take was, she'd rather see four fully-dressed battleaxes on an ad. than four scantily-clad nubile lovelies advertising anything totally unconnected with female undress...

But she did concede, it's rather stereotyping of German people.

So it's 50-50 on that one.

I hate the Daz? one which is like a mini soap opera,absolute rubbish.

'SOME DOSH, SOME WONGA'

I find a lot of car adverts are rap and make me feel like I want to puke.Yes there are some good ones sometimes.

Ashtrayhead...that advert is awful.

Magazine adverts - How about Ribble where they picture some lush full carbon thing with deep dish rims etc under a huge from £899 star, when the actual model pictured would cost nearly £2.5k if specced like the picture.

 

[trustysteed]

much like car adverts, they always show you the top range one but say they start about ten grand lower than what it would actually cost if you wanted wheels and doors on it!

The one where Alberto Contador plays "spin the shoe" with his bum-chums

 

[661-Pete]

I believe they're required to disclose the price of the pictured vehicle....

....but in the small print

 

[upsidedown]

Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh I know!

Those magazine series where you get a bit of a kit each week. You collect them all and end up with 'a beautiful working model of the elbow' or something equally unexciting. First part only a pound. Small print states that you then have to pay £5 a week for the 30 parts you need to complete the set. That's £151 for a poncy piece of plastic.

I got home the other night to find the introductory issue of "The Art of Crochet" on the kitchen table. To be fair it came with a crochet needle and a bit of wool so can't be all bad.

just the one needle? did you have to pay £5 for the next issue to get the other one?
