    To get the attention of the peabrained thickos who buy the Star.

    Research has shown that what brain matter Daily Star 'lookers at' have, is very, very dense and consequently needs the application of much more force to penetrate and lodge within. Fortunately, scientists have discovered that what limited capacity exists is easily filled with some easy to understand words about football, low-end television shows and big pictures of simillary dense people who like to be photgraphed.

    LoveFilm.

    There I was watching 10 O'Clock Live in company when an ad popped up with a near subliminal enthusiastic sex scene. I'm all in favour of sex scenes if I'm in the right company or it's expected but would like some say in the matter. There's right company and wrong company. Does this mean shagging scenes can pop up randomly in any show after 10?

    Can't remember the product (a dot com advert I think) but where did they get that huge white bouncy castle from? I want one. :D

    Most annoying ad at the moment (in Scotland) is the Aldi campaign to make us Scots think Aldi is in someway more Scottish than the other supermarkets. The advert is hammy in every way but the worst part is Aldi's new slogan "Gie it Aldi" in a broad Scottish accent. Utter Crap and just the worst kind of sterotypical rubbish that cheap advertisers come up with.
    I only hope this ad is only show in Scotland.

    There a more than a few of adverts that I can't stand.
    I don't like any of the Aldi ones, the one were the man wore the rubber gloves was quite bizarre and fetish.

    The Harveys adverts between Coronation street are awful especially those silly women and the one who throws food over her shoulder.

    Oreo biscuits are very popular in America. But I don't like the way they are advertised showing that the biscuit tastes better if it is picked apart and the inside cream licked first before eating the rest of the biscuit. Yuk.
    Contrary to some previous posts above I actually like most of the Aldi adverts. They are short, simple and to the point. I especially like the woman who likes gin. :D

    Health and hygiene adverts annoy me because they nearly feature women. It's time male viewers felt equally embarrased.
    Male models and actors are never targeted for advertising infections in male private areas and even some condom adverts suggest the women should buy and carry condoms around in their bags.
    There are products out there for male pant liners and creams for their sore bits too, but we don't see them graphically advertised on TV. (not that I would want to :o)

    has nobody mentioned the..."Blood in your poo, or loose when you do go, then tell your doctor" I know it makes a point, but everytime it's on I always see a poo covered in jam it's horrid!

    The bowel cancer "blood in your poo" advert is disgusting. Surely the powers that be can raise awareness of this illness without being so overly graphic? Ridiculous!!!

    The Dove soap ad although I've only seen it once. There's a group of women standing in front of full length mirrors and are told to 'wash' the mirrors with soap. Only one of them has Dove. Then they rinse them and are horrified that apart from Dove, all of the mirrors are smeared. Apparently, it's to prove that Dove rinses completely. Why they didn't wash their faces instead is beyond me!

    I think I've mentioned the product way too much. Sorry. :o

    I see you are fairly new but if you look through the pages you will find loads of people moaning about this advert, for some unknown reason it is only shown at meal times. Sorry you are not new but haven't posted a lot.

    Goodness me an advert for Olly Murs has just popped up encouraging children to buy his album for their mother's Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    Out of interest, do you complain if a fight suddenly appears in a programme without warning?

    Tbf - I think it's because so many of us find it deeply embarrassing to discuss our poo in front of a doctor. Eg which words to use? Stool? (makes one think Ikea) etc.... They're probably, rather clumsily and annoyingly, just trying to take some of the embarrassment away for people!:D

    What's wrong with stool, or faeces? Who, over the age of 5, says poo?

    These people may have cancer, I would have thought that would focus the mind a bit, and they deserve not to be spoken to in this insulting way.

    Lol I'll hang my head in shame with you as I'm watching it too :p

    They are weird adverts, but a change from 'ello, are you a foxy lady.' :)

    I prefer the foxy bingo ones. At least there aren't any ugly, gurning women there. Which could be another topic on its own - why are adverts so full of really unattractive women who think they are in the gurning olympics? It's the one time I wish we were more like American television where everyone is too glamerous to be believed.

    The Lynx hair gel ad is surely doomed once the ASA sees it.
