    Theres one advert for bags that you put your grill/oven trays in. With the catchy line of
    'So easy a man can do it' it REALLY annoys the bejebus outta me ! :mad:

    Completely with you on this one - it drives me round the bend, as the woman looks really furious throughout, then there's a stupid giggle at the end!

    A whole raft of annoying adverts though is a lot for films - it finishes & I still have no idea what the film is about, just who's in it!

    Just thought of the stupidest advert I ever saw - some company that makes hearing aids was giving some away for free... and you had to call up to get one! I even (sad, I know) checked their website - no mention of the offer on there.

    So, the question is - if a company makes hearing aids, how have they not figured that if someone needs one, but doesn't have one, they're probably not very comfortable using the phone???

    I can't stand the Iggy Pop advert before Stargate on Sky. I find him totally repulsive and look away as well as turn off the sound - yuk, yuk, yuk! :eek:

    oh and CILLIT BANG, BANG andthe dirt is gone. "It gets rid of dirt with such little effort" she sounds like Waynetta Slob from Harry Enfield

    Thing is .. it doesn't. If it did you could put up with the advert.

    Just seen another advert I hate

    Go-2-my-pc or something similar. The one where a bloke is at a meeting and says he left his report at his office and sends out pidgeons to the rescue. The birds return with half his computer but not the kepyboard. I mean why couldt they just bring back the actual computer and he use one of the ones at the meeting to plug it into? :confused:
    He is going to a meeting where he knows in advance he has to do a speach and he forgets it :mad: He deserves the sack! :rotfl:

    Looks like a good service though, dont go away enought to try it out myself :o
    Failure is only someone elses judgement.
    Without change there would be no butterflies.
    If its important to you, you'll find a way - if not, you'll find an excuse ! ~ Easy to say when you take money out of the equation!

    I absolutely hate the Cadburys adverts with the kids and the eyebrows. So much so that when I was in a cadbury outlet shop I had to leave when they played the song from it.
