[#6699818]

this is probably my most loathed at present.

Smug tosser with bad tattoos and chiseled abs copes with fame, succeeds at "sport" and gets the girls despite no discernible talent.

He's no one. As far as I'm aware. He's just an avatar for people who want to emulate the kind of success they see on Geordie Shore and TOWIE etc.

Adverts don't work on me, I've watched that clip to see what your'e on about but can't actually remember what it was for!
The bloke in it didn't have any 'effect' on me either.

They're just ads you don't like. This advert is properly offensive...

Hey everyone, there was a war, & it wasn't that horrible because there were some truces at Christmas... & oh yeah buy your shopping from us.

You don't find a supermarket trying to get you to spend your money with them by using an event that wasted the lives of 16 million people offensive?

Still less than died from the flu shortly afterwards. I pay little attention to adverts when they're on, and ffwd through them when I record things.
There are, after all, far more important things to get all bent out of shape over.

I don't understand perfume adverts. You have no idea if it stinks like dead cat and piss but here's an extravagant advert to convince you of something you can't verify while sat on you're arse watching it.

In principal, I think that WW1 is a poor choice of subject matter for an advert yes, in principal. But in terms of execution it's relatively respectful and certainly doesn't glorify war.

I find this deeply offensive

The glorification and glamorization of actual current conflict, even going so far as to ad "my proudest day ever". And what's more it insults the viewers intelligence by implying that no insurgents were harmed. It apes the style of on board footage we've all seen where people are splattered all over the desert.

You probably don't find it offensive because you haven't thought about the way a supermarket has reduced a horrific war down to a hand shake and a bar of chocolate.

You sir are a marketing departments wet dream.

Not seen that aftershave ad until now, but God does that blokes face need a bloody good slap. He looks more smug than that Dr Christian on 'let's gets all our weird shaped penis' out on tv' show.

Sorry? Read the thread title, read my comment, then come back to me.

I don't find the Sainsburys advert offensive because I don't find it offensive. When I see that advert I think about how awful that situation was, the reality that both characters will likely die the next day, and the horrible futility of the situation those men were in. I don't think " I must pop down to Sainsburys and get some chocolate and a 6 pack of coke".

It's not as if they have Peter Andre in there catching swiss rolls fired from German mortars or Ant and Dec tucking into their tasty Waitrose rations.

As a Daily Mail banner headline, yes it's morally dubious. But I don't find it offensive.

Done both. My point still stands.

That whisky one with the Gerry Adams lookalike.
Or any from BT that implies they aren't a total bunch of ****s.

Edit. That sainsburys one should be pulled.

Don't worry, Audi can try to sell you a car courtesy of singletrack.

And try and find out where you live in the process.

No, but ad agencies do. They are associating an image with branding, which then helps to create a positive feeling when you smell the stuff - even though they are always just strangely pungent chemical cocktails.

Why tf does anyone watch adverts? If you have to watch live TV pause the picture and talk to your wife or surf the web or you know anything else. Adverts just rot your brain.

Not everyone has the technology to pause and fast forward tv.
I've got a DVB telly. That's all. Signal comes from a transmitter to my arial.
No fancy box so I have no choice but to watch the ads.

No idea what the advert is for, but that black and white one where Scarlett Johansson gets picked up in a fancy car by Matthew McConaughey. I keep catching it and it is further winding me up every time I hear:

Matthew: I like your dress
Scarlett: It likes you back
me: What. Does. That. Mean?

Have you seen the Victoria biscuits one? With all the supposedly "Sweeeet" animals coming out of the tin? Maybe not offensive, but it's proper "WTF?!"
Just freaky and in no way makes me want to eat biscuits.

Also, agree on the Iceland ones. I once bought a salt and pepper grinder set in there. Never going in there again!

I react even more strongly to TV adverts....so I don't have a telly.

Well, it's the other way around, I don't have a telly, and haven't for ages, so now when I see an advert I am astonished by the shoutyness of it.

Anyway, I gather that soon I won't have to see such things anymore. And not because I'm turning into a freeloader.....

Leaves out the bit about them selling off your business debt to a firm charmingly called 'Cerberus' at the first sign of trouble.

Or this one. Who exactly is that aimed at?

the fact that the volume ramps up 5db during the ads is bloody annoying. Pause-able telly is ace ooh a good* programs coming on which channel? not bbc. right pause it I'll go do the washing up then I can FF the ads. Sorted.

Or this one. Who exactly is that aimed at?
independent free-willed individuals

who wanna smell like other independent free-willed individuals

*well TBH its probably only mediocre can't remember the last [i]good[/i] program I watched live.
