booking.com advert

[nickyboy]

I must be getting old.

The new booking.com adverts use the word "booking" in place of "f***ing"

Such as "You got it right, you got it booking right"

A new low

Yeah heard the advert while surfing the web on tablet and it made look up because of what i thought I'd heard bit to close for comfort

 

[Geoff Crowther]

Me an SWMBO thought exactly the same Nicky.

 

[Katherine]

I agree. Unnecessary.

 

[Lullabelle]

I never listen/watch/read adverts......so it (like many things) has passed me by.

Same here, adverts are muted.

Same here, adverts are muted.

And here as well.

Funnily the Yank version has different lines but still uses the 'booking' idea..

BUT you are discussing it, it has captured your attention...

Every year leading up to Christmas I enjoyed the advert for Famous Grouse whisky, what happened to it? It wasn't shown this year

Yes, I had considered this, perhaps they're just trying to increase brand recognition by these tactics. Unfortunately for them this recognition would put me off using them

It's not even original. Didn't Jewson use similar tactics years ago? "I'll take 20 Jewson bags of cement and 40 Jewson planks of wood" etc..
