Anyone seen the new CIF advert.......it shows a little girl with dirty white trainers, complete with grubby laces.........one swipe from Cif on a Jaycloth and the dirt starts to come off.....

.......pan in to a pristine white trainer........with pure white laces.......now how did they get the laces clean?

We just turn the mute button on as soon as the ads appear. 99% of them are either loud, annoying, stupid, sickly or so obscure you don't know what they are advertising. I usually like the Guinness ones though!

Oh yes Dreams.........bought one between Christmas and January and they sent the wrong bed base........had to wait WEEKS for them to replace it.........and all the time they were advertising HUNDREDS OF BEDS IN STOCK......

......oh yes......and ours was a Dreams bed, not a Sleepezee (the one I wanted).......and still we had to wait weeks.......and all the time that bliddy advert.....

.......also it said......Sale ends Thursday......that went on for weeks, then Sale ends Monday, that kept it going for another few weeks.......we are now onto After Event Sale......????? constantly on sale.....

......and as for the poo advert.......flush him down the loo I say......lol

The Yellow Pages let your fingers do the walking ad has morphed into 118 118

Yes, I'd like to pour the Cillit bottle over the man's head and make him be gone with a bang, too.

Shoving the blessed bike in the dishwasher annoys me, as well. Said on another thread what I think of the 'poo at Paul's' ad, but love the tiny 'MD' who wants to plant trees. I just can't help it, and when he says 'Oo what's donkey doing there?' he has me hooked. Guess I'm just a silly sucker.

I like Muffy Sky + everything and fast forward through the ads, however the kid that wants a p** at Paul's needs a good talking too at least!!!!!

I hate the ad where the little boy keeps telling his mum he wants a poo.
Its so badly dubbed over & patronising....... I'd like to flush them both down the pan. lol

What we have here in Oz that's driving me mad is adverts for life insurance and funeral cost insurance. They always start by saying you could drop dead at any moment so whose going to pay for your funeral. The life insurance one goes onto to say that your family could be kicked out of their home if they can't pay the mortgage. It's so depressing.
