says nothing about the sweets they are advertising and is clearly trying to manipulate dads into feeding their kids toffee or else they are bad fathers
stupid fucking ad

My cynicism instinctively makes me assume he's a part time dad who no longer shares the family home.

How about that wretched car advert where life suddenly becomes wonderful when you get in it ?
Two I don't get - child dressed as catterpillar, someone calling someone else a pizza
....
But the one that I'm really beginning to hate is where the young couple suddenly turn horribly serious and casually plan their whole lives together ... "get married, buy a house, have a couple of kids ...."
I may start fantasising that the silly flippertygibbet slipped on the wet lino in those silly heels when she got into her yuppy flat.

Nooooooo! Kris Marshall is cute. My other half is sort of getting used to my tounge hanging out when he comes on the screen.
I only watch the ads for Kris Marshall. Can't be arsed with hooking up with BT though.

There is an advert that has two of the blokes from Green Wing on it, where one of them picks some grapes, which somehow trashes a restaurant. Then his car rolls down a hill.
FUCKING SHIT! It makes me want to be sick. I have no idea what it is advertising and I have no idea what the point is or why those two blokes agreed to appear in it.

The worst part about those adverts is the pseudo science. biffidus digestivum? fuck off.

So many particulars. So many questions.

I read somewhere the other day about razors...wheere does it end? how many more blades and whistles does a razor need. If they take this to conclusion they'll have to invent a razor that actually travels forward in time and deals with beards that don't yet exist

The Garnier Nutrisse adverts with Davina McCall in are really strange.
She's always in the house and despite saying she's about to go out somewhere, never quite manages to do so.
Even weirder is the presence of her 'mother', who you never see and whose voice has a strange, not-quite-human intonation.
The most obvious explanation is that Davina is being as a pet by an evil supercomputer.

There is one advert that really makes me laugh actually - the Cravendale milk ads with the little figurines
While watching CSI: Miami last night (the shame!
) I noticed that all the ads in the ad breaks are for glossy, wanky women's products - all L'Oreal and Pantene and Nadine bloody Baggott. Who would have thought the CSI franchise would primarily appeal to the Grazia demographic?**yes, yes, yes, I know it's insulting. I was stuck for a snappy summation. Sorry.

ahh yeah
i love how the l'oreal adverts make up names of chemicals to con idiots into buying them. if you look then all the names are just trademarks they've invented.
'nutrillium' being one of them.
i actually study advertising so i should really be defending my industry...but there's nothing to defend.
people think lawyers are professional liars, they've never met an ad man..we are basically being taught how to make people buy things they don't want, don't need and can't really afford.
western capitalism for ya
Good call. What exactly IS a Celebrity Beauty Editor?Gingerman said:
If she is a beauty ed, what makes her a celebrity? On her webpage she claims she "anchors" This Morning.
Another thing that pisses me off is beauty ads undermined/negated by the disclaimers forced on them by the ASA.
Mascara ad for full volume lashes and underneath in teeny letters: "Penelope Cruz is wearing eye lash extensions,"
Hair dye, and underneath- if you squint- you can see:
"Davina McCall is wearing hair extensions."
Herbal Essences is Shampoo of the Year- "as voted for by 52 women in the Hull Superdrug."

I wonder what you can get away with by putting a "we're lying to you in this advert" disclaimer in 3pt font at the bottom of the screen...?
What really gets me is that I know people who'll see these cosmetic adverts, go "Oh, she's wearing fake XYZ! Epoch lulls!" but then happily go out and buy the product anyway "because it makes my XYZ look good"...!
Just more proof that no publicity is bad publicity I guess.
