Just saw a Boots advert with a twee cover of Rozalla's "Everybody's Free". F*** off advertisers!

Oy I'm in my late 70's and I'm not middle class I came from the back streets of Pezst, that's the poor South side of Budapezst, the North side is the posh side, a bit like North and South London, you know in Norh London they have Blue Plaques "Someone famous once lived here", in South London the are Yellow A'board "Did you see this murder".
Haven't done too badly, own a house worth well over a half a million, by following my game plan, never turn down an acting part, always pay my taxes and marry the daughter of a millionaire

The Everest Windows advert where the smug annoying Craig Doyle says they're "rolling back prices to 1991 levels"
*Opens window - "The Key, The Secret" (Urban Cookie Collective) is heard* That song was originally released in 1993. |

The current Carphone Warehouse advert - it's crap, and surely sending Keith Lemmon to either Austria or Germany would send relations between us back to about the time of the Anschluss (this assumes that the ski resort he goes to isn't in Switzerland). Quote:

Is that the new one with his 4k TV? I would say middle class but most of them are middle class

That is indeed an odd advert as their mouths are MAHOOSIVE and enhanced with the bright red lipstick. Whenever the ad comes on I find myself trying to mimic their ridiculous smiles and its impossible. No one in the entire world smiles like that ... or they would get locked up.
![]() These ads remind me of the Friends episode when Ross overdosed on the tooth (or teeth? ) whitener. His teeth glowed in daylight never mind the dark.It was a good, joke shame it became fashionable. |

Yes.look at the horrible sexist adverts of the past and how women were used in them and we don't do that now but I dont think it will change soon.

The Money Supermarket ad with the dance-off makes me wretch. It's so crass & the best dancer (the body popping secret service man) isn't even in it!

I've just seen that 'kid talking down to dad' prostate cancer one and I am stuck as to why anyone thought that was the way to get information across. I have no idea what it was supposed to be and ending with 'go online' in that way is missing the critical 'to find out WTF this is on about' bit.
The important message is lost due to ineffective presentation. |

With the AO adverts, I have got a question.
The couple in the ad are sitting in their middle class kitchen (or TV Ad Execs version of a middle class kitchen) going on about how they got a new washing machine and a large 4K TV and with next day delivery. Yet they also say that they spend all day in the park with their new born, and in the evening the two of them relax in front of their new 4K TV. Question - How are they paying for all this stuff if they spend their days in the park with the winos and then sit all evening watching TV? |

From what I can remember women in ads were, indeed, almost always portrayed as housewives, but they weren't held up as figures of ridicule and scorn. They were good at being housewives, not forever mucking every single little thing up in a particularly stupid way.

[quote=Sadly All Seein;82507075..If the only complaints about the way genders are portrayed in media are about getting more strong female characters and whether a woman's to sexy or meek what is there to make me think that more women in advertising will have any positive effect on how men are shown...[/QUOTE]I don't know if anyone else has noticed but men seem to be increasingly portrayed as being stupid or idiots in adverts, whilst women are always the smarter of a couple.

That is a truly grim advert. Two of the most hideous male specimens dancing in a provocative way. And I particularly loathe the face of the one with the fat arse in shorts.

Whoever thought that the perfect musical accompaniment to a load of mumsy Daily Mail reading types bouncing around in their cheap 'fashions' was Teenage Kicks by The Undertones needs to be hung naked from a lamppost and horsewhipped.
Another one of the good songs I can no longer listen to thanks to adverts. |

It comes from the strange minds of ad agency creatives, you're expecting it to make sense or have any semblance of reality?

Why does it cut out with a "comedy record 'stop' noise" after the "I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight" bit?
