It's ENTIRELY innapropriate to say it with that image on screen! And in her purring voice too... Cos browner hair will make you rich and sexy...

Yes I agree it's quintessential advertising and the old esoteric theme. Pure, pure YUK!

The car/baloon one, so all the cars are the same make, Ford.* Ooh how clever not to show other brands, but not so clever when you consider it's an idea shown in a Toyota* advert from last year.

As for the Fords floating off, are they saying they make cars from tin foil? smiley - tongueincheek








*Other brands of vehicle are available.

Sorry that was a bit unclear.
I switched over to the music channel to dodge the ads
only to be confronted by an ad for Robyn.
I thought that was a bit ironic at the time.
(Robyn is a female Swedish singer)

That reminds me beermats - pubs - nuts

A friend of mine showed me a packet of peanuts which had the words,
"This product may contain nuts!" printed on the packet.

Now there's a thing.

"Everybody knows a bloke like Micky"- that Head&Shoulders ad really, REALLY gets on my nerves. He looks exactly the same! And not that great, either...
And I hate the name Mickey.

The one that gets me to switch channels, though, is the Vodafone overdraft service. Or any of their other ads, really.

I've just devoured a small bag of chocolate coated legumes. I wish I'd saved them for Robyn.

"Does exactly what it says on the tin" and makes a poor nail varnish.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Yes, it does cause nausea, vomiting and headaches when ingested.
