I can't recall the product (well done, advertisers) but I saw an ad last night that used my favourite Jane's Addiction song 'Stop.'
Can't listen to that now >: ( |

That Lewis Hamilton L'Oreal advert is so excruciatingly embarrassing.

That concerns me too, whatever you buy now in there, it could have been in someone elses house for a week.
It may or may not turn out that you can only do this when you want to swap a watermelon for a pineapple because any other exchange would be perceived as 'illogical, therefore an attempted scam' and possibly 'vexatious', especially if you tried it more than several dozen times a week. Also, "it's lighter because of evaporation" doesn't work if they can see where you hollowed it out and put it back together again. |

Channel 4's constant promotion of "Summer Screen" at Somerset House in London.
It is ONLY in London, as obviously the troglodytes who live in every other town and City in the UK have no interest in watching films. This has been going on for years, and really annoys me. Why not at least try other cities ? Proms in the Park does it quite successfully Even when I lived near London, I would not travel all the way in to the centre just to watch a film. |

Re the new tesco as I hope that they don't put any of the returned fruit etc back into stock, who knows what conditions they have been in since leaving the store.

What films are they showing
found this link - £18.50 for a full price ticket to stand outside watching an old film. Maybe people in cities outside London are too savvy to fork out that kind of money for that !! |

Anyone notice, in the 'Flintstones' banking advert, that the human actor sounds like James Bolam?

Tesco boss Dave Lewis has unveiled plans to reduce the amount of food that goes to waste from the supermarket giant’s stores. http://www.retail-week.com/sectors/g...36.fullarticle So in June they start a campaign to encourage shoppers to make a special journey to return produce they don't want that cannot be resold

However recently I stumbled upon an old BBC 2 documentary series from 1990. The series was called BBC Washes Whiter. It was a 5 part series about the televisual advertsing industry over its first 35 years in the uk (1955-1989). And the best thing about it is that it is a 1990 BBC documentary so its only a voiceover and information from advertsing executives and directors and experts (none of this modern thing of asking the general public or soap stars to give their uninformed opinions). I'll post a link to the second episode which is about how men were shown in UK TV advertising in the mid 50's through to the end on the 80's. Turns out that since the early-mid 1960's men have been shown to be incompetent compared to women, except in ads for products directed at men (alcohol, tabbaco, cars, aftershave ect). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpD3MoLzXeg |

Well then that could cause massive waste, tonnes of fruit and veg could be wasted over a year. who thought this was a good idea?
I do most of my shopping online and the driver once told me that if you refuse a substituted item it does not go back into stock. In fact I've heard that you can refuse a substitution, be refunded for it, then ask the driver to give it to you! Never tried this as if I don't want it - well, i just don't want it!

The dancing poo on a CD player with some older guy showing it things as if it's real while two younger colleagues look on in amazement.

That chuffing James Martin ASDA advert - incredibly wooden, stilted and cringe worthy. Are they using the same advert agency as Tesco by any chance? Absolutely terrible.
Not to mention that the size of the sandwich he makes for circa 6 people at a picnic is hilariously small, they'll be lucky if it stretches to a slice each. If this was me I'd not be saying "Thanks James!" I'd be saying "WTF is this? You do realise there's 6 of us don't you. Thanks for ruining the picnic you t**t!". |
