    Cotton Traders - "Sizes up to 5XL." WTF?! :eek:

    Rather than having companies catering for the fat and disgusting, there should be more adverts outlining the dangers of obesity. Instead we have Jacamo and Cotton Traders, among others which seemingly say, it's ok to be massively overweight - you can still be cool! :rolleyes:

    No you can't, put down your effing cheesburger, get off your fat arse and get some exercise! :mad:

    I nominate the Aldi ads running on STV!! - totally annoying - i'll give it some Aldi ..... with the lines "smart scots go to aldi" ... I prefer the ad I see on ITV1 but this is taking the biscuit!

    EDIT: STV ran a similar ad where it was a plumber in an "old dears" house and going through products and at end of it was "i'll give it some aldi" and the woman said "i'll give it some aldi" but this new one is at a Burger Stop (may as well have Burger King/McDonalds) and this time the guy says "give it aldi" :confused: WTF?

    These adverts are insufferable and unbearable and the mere sight of them makes me want to scream until my lungs burst. These adverts crush my spirit and are so irredeemably awful I want to find those responsible and punch them until we are both crying. Still, none of this sums up just how awful these adverts are.

    "Ask yourself, can you do this" Do what? Reverse park? Yes I can actually you bloody massive t**t! I often use my parking sensors, which have been around for years to reverse park it's nothing new so I don't know why your making such a big deal about it. And I don't think I'd ever be seen dead driving around in that tiny tin can, nor would any self respecting bloke!

    Martin Clunes has more of a face for radio don't you think? Not exactly who I'd be choosing to be the face of my company, you know the guy with the enormous ears and fat ugly head, oh yeah and lips like a c**t.

    I bloody hate adverts.

    Fatties still need clothes whether they are on a diet or not. Do you expect them to go around in sheets?

    Not sure it's the worst advert, but I just wanted to mention the ad I've just seen on ITV4, described as 'cut to the chase dating' at Be Naughty . com.


    Are we really having adverts on TV now that are purely promoting a 'meet only for a shag' date? :confused:

    Oh, I must have mishead. I thought they said "Meat-only for a shag".:eek:

    The mini morning maximiser is getting to me.

    It was the cutsey male voice, but now I have clocked the little girl saying "Check" when she means "Yes". Americans don't understand that a lopsided V is called a Tick not a Check and obviously the ad has been scriped by a Yank. I just hope the girl grows out of it and isn't permanently disabled by Americanisations.

    It's worse, it says some to the effect of "Who knew a girl from Sheffield would be top athlete?" The narrator says Sheffield with surprise.

    Cue subtle put-down by a media luvvie of anywhere outside London.

    An advert featuring a moron dancing with a brass band in the background doesn't motivate me to switch my broadband service to that company.

    Why do people buy and wear second hand clothes? I can't even bear to touch them. Give them to charity, send them to Africa.

    EVERY bingo advert -
    1. IT'S A CON - ALL BINGO IS!
    2. Sexist to the nth degree... always aimed at stupid, poor women.
    3. Moronic.

    EVERY money advert -
    1. They want your money!
    2. You'll get very little help or return!

    McDonalds-
    1. Trying to avoid talking about the actual food these days
    2. Being all "family", and "community", whilst selling you sh1tburgers.


    PS: "Kitchen at Parties" is a Jona Lewie classic, and he's even in the advert. Quality.

    I know I've already mentioned it but that (sure?) strong woman advert really is bad!!

    'women are strong- not stronger than asterisk'

    Eh?!!

    Then cut to a load of angry looking, slightly butch women (because that's what 'strong' is, obviously).

    It's the way it says 'clothing for real men' as in, you aren't a real man unless you are fat.

    Stupid....

    I'll agree with that bit.

    The same goes for women, every article about fatties - and I speak as a self-confessed fatso - has to mention them (us) being 'real' women, as if thin or medium sized ones aren't proper.

    No, but you don't know where they've been, who's worn them, are they clean or dirty, or dead, do they have fleas or diseases?

    There are plenty of cheaper shops selling new clothes , used clothes make me cringe.

    While I don't disagree with the general theme of your rant. It is perfectly aceptable to say "check" when ticking a box... no one would say "Tick!" that would just be weird.

    Nope, its. 'women are strong - not strong with an asterisk'

    e.g. Women are strong*


    * especially when they're in the kitchen


    That was used as an EXAMPLE ONLY!

    Yeah, the advert is dreadful, and horribly patronizing to all women.

    Well I'm pretty sure you don't need a name and address.... you can probably give them a bit of a wash too I'm guessing.... yes, they're probably dead.

    Now use that hand sanitiser, Ashley!

    Not a specific ad as such but just how many variations of every-day cereals do we have to endure being flogged to us? If it's not with berries, it's chocolate or golden syrup or honey,, or nuts, or sugar coated. Then there's little minature bitesize bits of said original cereal, or clusters... Stop. Enough!

    Foot Locker with the chavvy types getting dressed up in their very best adidas gear for a night out.

    Quite why Foot Locker are spending so much marketing their stuff to the people of Wigan I really don't know.
