Once more my non-tech self is confused. There is no such ad for brown sauce, I thought. Then remembered.Mr. Monkey does not like the face framing thing. It freaks him out.And speaking of freakouts, it is not big or clever to advertise Lucozade using zombies. They are just frightening, okay? And why the fuck would I want to buy something that may or may not turn me into a zombie?

Am I right in assuming they can't actually refuse to insure a driver based on their gender? Is this a case of making the product so 'horribly girlie' that us 'yorkie eating men' would never stoop to applying for the insurance?

saw an advert on space tv whilst home over christmas (couldn't miss it, it was on every 15 minutes) where the bloke in a cheap suit in a white studio used the phrase 'zero no claims bonus' about 6 times in 15 seconds.

Bleugh and that breathe easy strips advert or whatever they are - "this is the exact size of your nasal passages when you have a cold - theyre not full of snot, its the veins in them exploding" or something like that. I feel physically sick especially when I'm eating tea in front of the telly. Sickening.

"If we'd told you back then that we offer the most complete and extensive financial services... you wouldn't have cared less."
Now, people saying "I could care less" instead of "couldn't" is way, way up there on my English pet peeves as it is. Now Madison Avenue is introducing a new and even LESS logical variant, apparently just to make my life harder. What in the FUCK does "you wouldn't have cared less" mean? Seriously!

Is that the same generation addressing Boomers that goes, "YOU were the generation that learned to forge relationships..."
HA! Does that include the divorcing and spouse-swapping during the ME decade?

2. "CONFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSED! Dot com." (if I saw this guy in the street, I'd be sorely tempted to go over boot him in the nads)
3. AOL advert (using the Holocaust to sell internet services - modern life IS rubbish isn't it?)

And what does "crumbelievable" mean, anyway? It's not really a pun. It doesn't really make sense as a slogan. I would pay $50 to be a fly on the wall during the creation and selling of this ad campaign.

These are the *best* adverts on at the moment:
"For bonza car insurance deals, girls get down to Sheila's wheels...""For ladies who enjoy their cars, Sheila's wheels are superstars..."
So damn catchy!
