Re: Irritating Ads

Philip Schofield has over exposed himself so now I cannot stand him. Some of his antics on adverts are ludicrous.

That's it Peter Wyngarde. He was quite famous back in the day. Did he ever read you a story Tabs?

I used to quite like him until he went all cry baby on us, although he seemed to get over that very quick.

The cynic in me seems to be saying that's deliberate, to make 'channel hopping' hardly worthwhile.

That must be to do with these new-fangled televisions, 4G is it? They are like computers so must be programmable. Perhaps that's what that's about, they've used those 'settings' to ensure you see even more advertisements!

Didn't he cry on TV when he came out as gay and everyone already knew for years, including his family? bet there's a few like that....Matthew Kelly for one. Not that its anybody's business, but c'mon...everything is accepted these days, nobody bats an eyelid.

(Thread derailment. Again. Sorry )

Celebs, like Footballers, Pogba, Ronaldo, removing the bottles ,from the dais, knowing full well, that the advert is "doubly noticed" when they do that!

This reminds me of the caffeine shampoo advert, and the woman's irritating voice that ends "Caffeine fo yo HAYR"

Ad. breaks should be of an exactly specified length. Then you could be assured of having an appropriate time in which to go and make a cup of tea (etc.).

Of course, if they could, they'd force you in some way to sit and watch all of their adverts.
