I hate whoever it is who owns the rights to that song to allow Freddie's voice to be used to sell furniture, it's just greedy and disrespectful to one of the finest vocalists ever.

Flash!
How could they stoop so low. Therefore the decision to licence anything by Queen for any product or project is made by Queen's Management (with ultimate decision being made by John Deacon, Brian May, Roger Taylor and Jim Beach, on behalf of Freddie's estate). Althought it has never been fully or offically confirmed by anyone, it is widely believed (based on from various interviews and books over the years from the likes off Peter Freestone, Jim Hutton, Jim Beach & Mary Austin) that when Freddie died he left his former girlfriend and lifelong friend Mary Austin the rights to his music (both his share of Queen and his solo projects) but with Jim Beach to be the manager of these rights. Basically (if the asumptions are correct) the royalties are paid to Mary Austin but decision on how the song rights are used are handled by Jim Beach. Therefore whenever you hear a Queen song in an advert then its John, Brian, Roger and Jim you have to thank/blame for licencing the song. Also as a side note, according to Jim Beach, when Freddie told him he was leaving all the management right to his work, he gave him only one guidenote:- “Do anything you want with my music dear, but never make me boring!” |

It's going to get a lot worse as we near Christmas. Lots of pretentious, arty ads featuring Hollywood stars staring off into the middle distance and talking pseudo-intellectual gibberish coming up.
(Actually, seeing as today's September 22nd, I'm surprised we haven't heard any yet.) |

And also women doing twee cover versions - half of which are almost whispering - of well-known songs as well.

The Vivus loan advert...the bloke on there really creeps me out, he makes no facial expressions when he speaks and only his mouth appears to move, really disconcerting!

I don't care if she is easy on the eye that bl**dy SCS girl is unbelievably irritating. And I don't want to hear ANYTHING about the "festive season" in September.

I think ITV know the following adverts annoy me because they seem Hell Bent on playing them over and over on the ITV Hub.
The "Obey Your Mouth" Double Decker advert from Cadbury. That gormless moron... aargh! Drives me mad. The recent Samsung/Jack Whitehall ones. The kind of bloke I'd want to chuck a pint over. James Corden in the new Apple Music ads. Just as cringeworthy as the EE/Apple Music ones. In fact I wish Apple would pay that idiot good money to disappear off our screens for good 😡 |

- There is an advert which uses a song that is an obvious rip-off of the Friends theme tune/I'll Be There For You. It annoys me every time I hear it because I get ready to start singing along.
![]() - The Kipling's ads with the "rebellious" teenage girl who distracts her parents with cakes. - The annoying blonde woman in the Iceland ads who obviously normally shops at Sainsbury's or Waitrose with her "new money" husband. - The Nationwide ad with the woman talking rubbish to the camera for what feels like 25 minutes. - Tall, stick thin models being used for affordable clothing brand adverts. Not a reflection on their average customer. |

No your not your a stupid little child! Its about time children realised the adults rule the household not the kids. ![]() It's been a long time since an advert has irritated me as much as that Virgin Media one. |

Also currently hating - "just call me Mr Green light" No knob off, you pompous arseface. ![]() - The Money Supermarket adverts - Dance off?? I could think of a better word. - Oak furniture land - I cannot stand the two morons employed for this campaign. There's clearly no effing veneer in the PR company's heads either. - The new Malteasers advert with the abusive wheelchair user, clearly she didn't like the bride and squashed her foot on purpose. |
