We never know if the money or food really goes to the people that needed because you hear alot of stories about people selling food to buy guns.

If they truely want to help africa out sterilise the women from having babies.”

Africa's population is growing at twice the global rate. Quote from David Attenborough. The oligarchs who are supposed to be in charge own streets in Paris, London etc. Ask yourself where gold and diamonds can be found, and we're to believe that most of their population is starving.

and the more one gives the worse it will get and the faster, because more children who survive the more children that THEY will have and the more THEIR children will have, all to add to the problem, if they can't go enough food and don't have enough water now, then the more of them, the less there will be per person.
Harsh but that is how it works in nature, no-one has suggested sending food and water for the herds of animals that roam the African plains, THEY have their number regulated by whether there is enough food and water to sustain their numbers, when there is famine their numbers reduce, as I said HARSH but that IS how nature works.
The more the West gives, the more there will be to eat up the scarce resources,
China recognized this, so did India, so why cannot the African countries

Spot on lol!

And what's more, even though I've never tried the Ninja Coffee bar, you CANNOT get coffee shop quality drinks from a drip through filter coffee machine, it's difficult enough using one that uses pressure. The coffee looks awful, like a mug of flat cola, the milky drinks, well I can tell you that a layer of brilliant white foam on top won't taste great, stir it in and you'll get an extremely weak brew! I feel sorry in advance for anyone who spends money on this, I think they'll be disappointed!

I don't have the time, nor inclination, to plough through 3300 posts, but I surely can't be the only one to find the Money Supermarket ones with the prats twerking in denim shorts nauseating.

It is hideous in all aspects. The one aspect that is irritating me about it at the moment is that there are two groups of "dancers" in the advert.

One set is described in voiceover as "The Builders saved...." - okay, so they are builders by trade and they are dancing in their lunch hour or something, that's fine.

But then the voice over goes on to say about the other set "The Strutters saved..." which implies that they are full time "strutters" - what sort of job is that actually? They do this stuff full time? And someone pays them? What?

I've just seen a new ad for the Postcode Lottery, where a man starts doing the Dying Fly when his giant cheque is revealed! It's the new "We're going to Benidorm!"

I hate the way she's always moving her head. She obviously thinks her face looks best from a slight side angle, so she's constantly moving her head an unnatural amount to avoid her face being seen from any other view. She looks really uncomfortable when she has to stand still at the end. I think she's self conscious of her face from the front.

Yes, Vivus, that's what we all needed - *another* payday loan company with a crappy jingle (this one changing Bananarama's Venus to "Vivus").

It also must be an American creation that's made it's way across the Atlantic - after all, Sofia Vergara isn't exactly well-known over here.

Don't let the Daily Mail hear you say that. They've wasted thousands of column inches over the past year or so if that's the case!

They're grotesque. I tend to always record commercial TV so I can watch it back and fast forward through the ads. The few I watch properly include the Tesco ones as they're so bad they're comical. Also liked J.Lewis and the Waitrose robin. The TK Maxx one is also grotesque.

I think you are taking it all way too literally. Just go with the flow. Love it, hate it but I wouldn't bother trying to analyse it.

To be honest im suprised they still are doing that advert. Kind of like that go compare ******! I thought he would go away but no they keep using him and irritating the public.

Shes as bad as that Hollyoaks girl whos in a ad whining and moaning about how she was made fun at school because of her spot and instead of it being about the product she makes it all about her her her all the time.

One of the lead actresses in Modern Family, co-star with Reese Witherspoon in Hot Pursuit (in UK cinemas in July), and the face of CoverGirl cosmetics for the past four years.

I think you are right, I have spent more time thinking about it than they obviously did.

And none of the seem to ever drive a car, so why do they care about car insurance?

Arrrrgh, there I go again.

The Swarovski advert, that features an almost gibberish version of Rihanna's 'Shine Bright Like A Diamond'

It's like the singer's mouth's half closed, or she's drugged, it's all slurred. The 'Shine bright like a diamond' comes out like ''Syumber laggy dymoo''
