    Surely you should ignore the things that annoy you?

    I know advertising doesnt that way so in this case wouldnt it be prudent to not mention the ads that annoy you

    Not so much the ad as the product. The dettol no touch hand pump. It makes no sense as you'd be washing off any germs you would get from touching the thing!

    O' right - now I know what you were asking about.
    Genuinely didn't understand what you were asking.

    I try to ignore a lot of adverts but even then some like "Go Compare" are just plain annoying and irritating before I can even reach for the remote to mute their crap.

    Anyone that makes an advert so irritating, I also most definitely do not buy their products.
    I make a point not to.

    The RTE Radio add with that string of piss Turbidy, Hector, etc.

    FFS not only do we have to pay for these ads but they feel compelled to tell us tio listen to MOR and chat from FF politician wannabees.

    Indeed. Clever advertising will always win out in the end over advertising that is just plain annoying

    Ads for 48, the new mobile phone company.

    Beautiful Americans in their twenties enjoying a decadent party, nothing like being between 18 and 22 in Ireland.

    Where are the young girls with blue legs teetering between cobblestones in their heels?

    Where's the queue of lads with gelled hair and check shirts waiting in the rain on a cold Tuesday night to get into a ****ty nightclub?

    Where's the curry cheese chip in Supermacs at 3.30 am, and the girl making her way home in the cold grey light of 7am with it still staining her dress from the night before?

    I agree.
    If I see an advert that is clever, well made and actually sometimes make you think after it's even over, I'd be more interested to even just learn more about what they are trying to sell.
