Pointless rant

j.p

Nothing to see here, move along.

Well done that really is a pointless rant.

DiddyDavies

Most of it's easy to explain.
1/ The rabbit didn't hit the windscreen, it's sitting on the bonnet of the car.
2/ The windscreen isn't broken. What you are seeing is a broken window outside of the car.
3/ How can you be sure that the reflection in the mirror is a man and not a woman? It's not really that clear.
It's taken from a television advert and the car has crashed into a pet shop (hence the broken window) and some of the animals inside have escaped (hence the rabbit and a lizard sitting on the car):

First, if the rabbit had hit the windscreen the rabbit would be dead. But it's not. So it makes you think, what hit it then? Was it another rabbit? A deer or a tree perhaps? You just don't know. Why show a living rabbit then? And if the rabbit was not involved in the collision, why did it jump on the car? Do rabbits use to jump on top of cars that have just had accidents? I think not.

Isn't this the advert where the woman has crashed into a pet shop?

Yes. There's a link to the advert in my post above.

So definitely a pointless rant over a misunderstood advert.

The OP should follow DiddyDavies's link and watch the whole advert.

I have a pointless rant to make.
The object of my ire is the picture currently appearing on the Aviva UK web site advertising car insurance, which I think it's doctored.

A television advert doctored, who would have believed that?
I suppose that you think that there's really a talking tiger who loves breakfast cereal and that there is an extended family of meerkats whose sole aim in life is to help people to save money!

OK. I got it… Next time a picture in an ad on the Internet appears doctored, I'll binge on TV adverts for a week just in case one turns up that might explain the scene. Simples!
Or maybe I start a new political party whose sole aim is to lobby the government to force financial organizations to attach disclaimers to ads that appear doctored, so that people can make sense of them.
I'll do those two… anything to spare fellow Forumites my pointless rants.
Won't bother you anymore - promise (broken already ;-)

It's the Praise, Vent & Warnings board.

You've had a vent.

People have commented on your vent.

That's how the forum works.

But every advert is "doctored" in some way to get the image they want. So you will be doing a lot of venting if your irked every time you see an advert!.

The OP probably prefers the direct approach, maybe a spokesperson could read out the following instead?
Aviva- we offer car insurance

We offer many benefits, sometimes more than our competitor, sometimes less
