Bullshit adverts

[chillidoggy]

I reckon the same charge could be levelled at any of the burger chains. Take a look at the overhead boards, and tell me that's what's in the cardboard box when they hand it over to you.

It's the ads where there's a filthy surface or a cooker coated in grime. One spray from Clit Bang and a single gentle sweep of the cloth and your mess is gone.

And anyway, how come those glamour-model housewives let their kitchens get into such a filthy state to begin with!?

Well, yeah, I know that's 99.872% of them (I counted), but lately I'm watching shit on the telly and some ads just make me laugh with their barefaced lies ! e.g. - all the online casino / bingo / gambling ads - everyone (and it is everyone) always wins ! Now, I appreciate they aren't likely to gain many customers if they show a poor woman on a council sink estate crying because she's just gambled away her child benefit, but everyone winning ?... all the time ? Er... statistically and factually... er... what's the word ?.... bullshit.

I thought that in gambling, everybody does win - to start with, that's how they get you to try again. Then you lose, so you have to gamble again after that to get back what you lost, and by that time you're hooked. So IMO the advert is true - to start with. It's just the misery afterwards they don't tell you about.

Are there any ads that annoy you for any particular reasons (but preferably because they're full of shit) ?

Yes most of them are party political.

Come to think of it there was one for new houses in Elmswell (used to be a nice village a few miles from here). It had a picture of a huge cornfield just after reaping, with big bales of straw in cylinder shapes, and it said "Come home".

Except there's no cornfields to be seen because they've built nasty big housing estates all over them!
