The Orange mobile ad is still running at the local cinema and I
have to admit it's a shame that this bus one is the last.

There was a new (to me anyway) Cadbury's advert showing in the cinema.
It features two children and a balloon and I found it quite funny.

I dare say I shall change my mind after seeing it again, and again..etc.

the "dont stop the rock" one?
that scares me as with no sound on i am always convinced those kids are either having an epileptic fit or a stroke.

I'd be more impressed if they came up with a kit that predicted the odds
on getting pregnant during the sex act.

Something that screamed out percentages....90% CHANCE OF PREGNANCY!!

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I find the ad for the Kia cee'd annoying. The car is sent 7 years into the future. When it gets there, a diagnostic is run. The car passes and the ad claims this shows the car will last seven years. Rubbish! It may be seven years since the car was built, but the car hasn't had 7 years of wear and tear. It's bound to pass the tests.

What kind of lame-brain do the advertisers take us for?
