I hate all TV adverts-Getting silly now

[The Pandorica Opened]

I hate almost all adverts, especially the adverts that go way overboard to be "PC" - and that seems to be more and more adverts now - they try and squeeze every PC aspect possible into 30 seconds, FFS just show us the product you want to try and entice us to buy instead of trying to set out to prove how inclusive you are.

The point of those adverts is to stir up cheap outrage among the demographics that still watch the television, often the over-fifties. They get outraged and annoyed by it and a conversation starts, and the brand-name peaks in mentions. There's a good video on the subject by the always-fantastic Hbomberguy explaining the history of it:



All just a smokescreen for the usual systems of exploitation.

Me too. I miss ads like this :-)

I hate the ones with children purporting to be adults absolutely wrong, there voices will never be a good substitute and adult subject matter is not for them.
Those adverts won’t ever sell me anything because I turn over and please employ decent adult actors if you want me to buy your product

That one where the young lad knocks on the old ladies door checking for his parcels.....She answers it in a pair of flash trainers, her dear old mate is in the back ground with fancy head phones and a satchel type thing on.... " we'll let you know....." Cracks me up.

The obsession with people dancing. Apparently KFC at lunchtime is full of fuckers thinking they're at a party, as is a family who can't stop dancing in their kitchen because they got a discount on four phones and a modem.

I'm watching a lot of The West Wing on All4 at the moment and Tui are on every other ad break. Perhaps they should change their name again!
