the accident claims ad during the daytime are criminal. one with some fat bloke who talks like he thinks he's sherlock holmes and talks about his trained team but in the background there's only two.
the other is some woman who says you can make a no win no fee claim but watching the reconstructions, aren't these 'injured' people just guilty of their own stupidity?
oh and the one with the lie detector. the lengths they try to go through just to see if they believe them.

what's up with that uma thurman virgin advert? she looks funny and i don't like it when she pauses herself.

Nope.
It's still the Halifax advert with that fucking minger attempting to emulate Aretha Franklin's classic.
It's bad enough when they cover some manufactured band, but when some bloated slapper is wrecking a Motown classic to sell loans - they are crossing the line.

One small step for me
I hate all the Halifax ones with that fat goggle eyed idiot bloke in them. He's featured in their adverts for years now and I just can't see what the appeal of him is (but it must be working or they'd have dumped him).
I was also annoyed to see the return of the fat Vauxhall kids in a new advert. Appropriate though - shit adverts, shit cars.
Adverts like those two really depress me, because they're not like one-offs that are just irritating, but are long-term campaigns that cost a fortune. They wouldn't spend so much on them unless they worked, and it's really sad that they do.

Air of bewilderment model's own
Oh and that one for some beauty product (Olay?) where they pretend the woman in it just came in for a screen test and raved about the product so much that they just used the screen test and didn't need to make the ad at all. How stupid do they think we are?

The mars bar ad that uses Blue Monday gets me unaccountably angry.

Number two.
I saw an advert for a travel insurance company whilst having a coffee in the Victoria Plaza.
The narrator rattled of some typical holiday experiences in a linear order, whilst the images told a very different story.
ie.
Day one (says the narrator) - Enjoy some of the local cuisine, cue an image of someone eating infected food from a dirty kitchen.
Day two - See some of the oldest buildings in the city. The screen shoes a patient in a dilapidated hospital watching a pealing ceiling.
Day three - Witness some incredible indigenous wildlife. At this stage a cockroach crawls across the patients bed as rats scurry in the corner.
The conceit of the advert is day six, when the narrator grinds to an embarrassed halt as the image focuses on a church, implying the patient has died.
The advert is suggesting that if you don't take out the insurance, you will probably die a pestilent and ignoble death.
The rotten fucking cunts

insurance ads can be the worst. Fucking vultures IMO. Insurance is like gambling backwards

and then they made a joke comparing poo to men.

Uma uma uma
How could she have made such a shockingly poor decision? The director/conceptual director of that advert needs to be beaten. It looks like they dragged her into a van in the death throes of a 36 hour coke binge, shone a torch in her face and got her to read the lines.
I would also like to give an honourable mention to the l'oreal adverts where they drag Andi MacDowell aka botox corpse out of her coffin and into the studio to preen smugly.
