On the front page of the Waitrose (sorry) free paper this week a remarkable claim and of course a compulsory pic of wor Jes with the title :
“Get as fit as Jessica Ennis – walk the dog!”

‘kin marketing muppets!

Jessica Ennis is fit though.

** Considers buying a dog **

Can I borrow someone’s dog? Can I buy a dog a Waitrose?

With her throwing the sticks I bet the dog is pretty fit too! 😆

<pedant>That’s not a marketing claim. It’s a journalistic claim – unless they were actually trying to sell dogs in the magazine?</pedant>

She’s needing the practice andyl – was it not her poor javelin that cost her gold at the Worlds’? Defo fit though!

Not going from her javelin performance at the World Champs. :|[/s]

EDIT: clearly i didn’t read the post above

Marketing claims are all rediculous. Marketing = Rediculous.

I love watching car ads on the telly, no traffic jams, no road rage, always sunny nice roads with great view, no pollution, no speed traps. Drivers are always happy families of two kids and a dog.

missed that. Bugger.

Anyway, how far can you two throw the javelin? 😉

Rediculous marketing claims – whatever next?

People spelling ridiculous correctly in thread titles?

I’ve always like this from Tom Waits;

“The big print giveth and the small print taketh away”

Andyl – about 15 feet?

As for dubious marketing I like Lynx adverts assertion that you become a fanny magnet just spraying that rancid pish under your arms. Or baby skincare that show proud barechested dads with nude babes sleeping skin to skin. And no pee or poo in sight…

<pedant>That’s not a marketing claim. It’s a journalistic claim – unless they were actually trying to sell dogs in the magazine?</pedant>

That’s a bit of a TJ-esque view of things shirley?

If Jessica Ennis wanted to sell her dog, I’d probably buy it. And I don’t even like dogs.

I have yet to work out wtf ‘Urban Proofed’ means in relation to a car (Nissan I think).

I hate, really hate the fact that I am constantly bombared with so many utterly cretinous adverts for shit throughout my whole life and I am pretty much helpless to do anything about it.

Some of the utter drivel that gets spouted is so poor I actually find it offensive to my intelligence. And I’m not even that clever.
