I'm going to start complaining about the ads I don't like, and see if they get pulled off air.

Can we start by Nuke-ing that annoying so-and-so, Michael Winner, and his "calm down, dear, it's a commercial!" adverts?
please?

Pretty Please?

Can we? huh, can we?

Followed by all the adverts for anti-wrinkle creams.

Advert : "I'm not worried about wrinkles"

Me (shouting at TV) : "Of course your not, you're only 12 bloody years old".

When he gives her the flowers and she says nothing, I would have to do a Basil Fawlty - "I'm sorry, What was that ? I didn't quite hear you".

What about the overly enthusiastic advert for Cillit BANG- "get rid of baked on dirt with Cillit BANG!" Never mind that, get rid of the ****ing advert, it's irritating as anything.

I hate it as much as I hate Winner and his insurance peddling antics - "A mouse and a net" - drop dead Winner.

An excessively stupid name. What fools actually thought it sounded good:

Exec one "we need a name that people associate with clean surfaces"

Exec two "hmmmmm, snap? crackle? pop? BANG ....... Yeah thats it!"


Morons.

LOL - there's also a 'remix' version of the Cillit Bang ad - this is better than the E-Sure one. Turn it up LOUD...

You mean Howard? Naww, Howard's a sweetie.

I did find some of the ads with him in as a cartoony sort of character really quite disturbing, though. :suspect: I could do without the image of 'cartoon Howard' in the bath .... :gag:
