'They are already there' refers to the roots. Baby teeth are just caps, they dont have the deep roots of adult teeth.

Either way, it's advertising boswelocks, just like washing poder for your clothes that not only cleans them but also makes them smell clean with the addition of an odour neutralizer/remover/masker (Janua-reze?)

Wow! I just watched that Orangina Ad. Apart from being shoddily animated, and that reeeeally creepy octopus woman, there's no WAY that is suitable for children!! That's barely suitable for me! Some people really need a good kicking for some of the stuff they come up with.

Just for a change, one I like...

Du 'Something', du Pain, du Vin, du Boursin.

Varied enough to stand quite a few repetitions

I reckon they tried quite hard to get the 'Du Somethings' to sound as if they come from the French.

?

I liked "Du pain, du vin, du Boursin. Du it yourself!"

Has anybody mentioned how good the 'little tub of yoghurt that will transform your life and cure all known ailments especially if you don't eat a balanced diet' advert is with Sir Bobby Charlton kicking the football to the kids. Good acting.

I don't know if you've seen the advert for the Guerlain Homme fragrance. It talks about jungle animals gathering at the same water hole at dusk. There are a few problems with this ad. For one thing, the only jungle animal at the water hole is the chimpanzee. All the others (giraffe, gazelle, lion, cheetah) live on or near the open plains, AFAIK. Then there's the fact that predators make kills near water holes, 'cos they know that's where they're prey will be.

I think it's a stupid ad, and it doesn't make me want to go and buy the fragrance for hubby.

I do not watch them

Should I?

Am I missing out

Are they written by politicians, seem to be a lot of spin

purty much

I think that the implication is: If you're stupid enough to ignore all the things that are wrong with this ad, you'll also be imperssed by the 'animal' man, rubbing shoulders with lions and tigers and you want to have sex with this man, and therefore will want your man to smell like this man.

In fairness, they do set up the 'drinking together at the waterhole' as a sort of magical mythical circumstance...

Slightly different track ... anyone know why the Property section of my local free newspaper has disappeared? I mean, how do estate agents expect to sell properties if they don't advertise them?

Nice target-marketing.

Oh my...

Is it wrong to laugh? Cos I did!

Every cloud has a silver lining.

My son completes his paper round quicker now.

Waterhole, not a 'metapaw' for a pub?
