MacMillan Cancer Trust are using the lyrics of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. I like many Manchester United fans are diving for the mute button on our remote controls.
what is the difference between Manchester and Brisbane?
there are Man U fans in Brisbane

Do they not realise that the song us sung to a man who has been stabbed and killed down a alleyway? not very appropriate. recite the lyrics to a song that is sung to a dead person.

The Muller light set of ads where it always finishes with a women shouting 'fat free!' and then a guy has a mishap. They are all awful.

Not exactly. First it is sung to his widow to comfort her after her husband's murder. At the end of the film the widow's daughter and her schoolmates sing it at their graduation.

never knew that, hardly appropriate for a football team from a city with a district as famous for it's violence as Moss Side either though

I don't follow domestic soccer, but I'm pretty sure that song is a Liverpool FC mantra, not Man U, so what's with the mute button? Is the rendition that bad?

The latest one for one of the two major american chemical fizz products where they are chugging a bottle of obviously non-fizzy stuff that's not the product, and don't immediately follow that with an ear-shattering belch and there isn't a 'not actual product footage' disclaimer.

I just hate those ads anyway.

No it's the mantra of a rival team.

Man U and Liverpool are serious rivals.

I don't think you get it it, it is Liverpool FC's anthem, that's why a Man Utd fan would hit the mute button. They hate each other, and anything associated with their respective clubs, with a passion.

And such childish behaviour says a great deal about them.

What do you mean, "it is only a game", as the late great Bill Shankly said, it's more important than life or death.

captain Obvious, I didn't notice him, must have been a rather self-effacing character

The Morrison's ad where the young girl has been told to share her doughnut. Her dad thinks she'll share it with him, but she shares it with her teddy instead. I can't stand her voice!

I have two pet advert hates that really get my hackles up!

The first set are all the stereotyped, cloned car ads, all of which present 'the car' as an icon to which we should all pay due homage without question, all of which are spoken by men with ultra cool rich dark voices, all of which involve the car suddenly accelerating at high speed, and all of which suggest that the drivers of which are possessed of some almost divine superpower which sets them apart from any mere mortals who have the misfortune to drive any other car but the one being shown and eulogized in the ad.

To complete the stereotype still further all these ads will either feature the driver shaking his head at someone at sometime in the ad, and around half will feature a foreign sounding girl half muttering something at the end in a sexy, sultry voice that suggests the mere presence of such a car can reduce women (always undoubtedly beautiful ones) to acquiescent slaves in the the overwhelming force field of the driver's magnetic aura.

Then there's the radio ads where some idiot forces themselves upon you and steals your listening time by garbling through the terms and conditions at such ridiculously high speed that you've absolutely no chance at deciphering what they're saying. I hate this with a passion, and nowadays I avoid commercial radio like the plague just to be free of all this rage inducing dribble. I'm certain I'm not the only one who hates this annoying garbage. Anyone else out there who hates this as much as me?

I hate radio. Especially local and national. Don't mind the specialist digital ones like planet rock but I never listen anyway.
As for car ads they are more like perfume ads these days.
Don't like them.
Will only be a matter of time before someone realises women don't buy cars as often as men and so that sexism in the car buying world will have to end meaning we'll be bombarded with cars ads that show men as being unable to drive.
Crashing into the parked car in front of them from a parked position themselves whilst miss (not Mrs because she don't need no man) spies this, shakes her head, smirks and rolls her eyes as she perfectly drives away.
