Shrek Ads

grumpytrousers

Last night during 24, I think I noticed 2 adverts that weren't connected to the Shrek 2 movie in some way or another.

I find this unacceptable, and would like ALL my adverts, (even if they're for Ronseal) to feature a Tie-in with this movie

That is all

Last night while not watching 24 (Tuesday is Las Vegas night) & watching Tru Calling on Sky I noticed a long Tru Calling advert halfway through the show. That's all we need - an advert imploring you to watch the show you're already watching. Leaving aside the fact that the show is so-so at best. No mention of Shrek 2 in that advert either.

that's to facilitate the people watching sky who have such a short attention span that they....

that'd be the typical tru calling fan, then.

Talent? If that's what you kids are calling it these days?!

Shrek I love and I'm dying to see it (sunday ) But all the same think you can go overboard with advertising! eg - bringing out a phone package with ring tone/cover/wallpaper etc. It's not bothering me but then I don't have brat screaming in my ear perpetually ' please mommy, please buy it...i need it... NOW mon ... please.... I need eeeeeeeeeeeeeet.... waaaaaaAAAAAA Pweeeeeeese mommy I waaaaant it ...... waaa..... now mom now I want it now aaaaaaaaaah (child is now purple) Waaaaaant it need it mawm!!!!! (i am that brat )

Aye - I think that's what left the bad taste in my mouth. Whilst the troublesome tykes yowling ad nauseum about the Shrek Ice Cream is tolerable inasmuch as you can placate them for a few Euro, the phone tie-ins are obviously targetted at kids, with a really heavy price tag

must admit the saturation advertising is a bit much. Its every other advert on Cartoon Network and on the morning shows. I pity the poor parents. (Note to self must buy Shrek2 video game - tv told me to)

I'm gettin really pee'd off with all the ads - 'cos they end up showing so many parts of the movie that when you do go to watch it it's just a case of fitting all the bits you've all ready seen in the right order :dunno:

But yay! Gonna see it tomorrow

That add I think is a brilliant work of farce - it's not for real, it's so ridiculus.

That's one ugly site. I rather hope it was really designed by some kid who spends all his time riding his donkey.

There appears to be a donkey making sex noises in the background as well.

irishgeo

you guys craic me up

personally which kid going to tell thier mates. guess what i won a donkey!

AdMMM

Obviously that donkey would be turned over to the RSPCA or ISPCA within a week!

Agent Orange

Tru Calling stars Eliza Dushku and is therefore the greatest show ever made. Only the inclusion of Deirdre O'Kane could make it better.

Ah but then it wouldn't look like a kid designed it. If it was really designed by a kid he's pretty good at indenting his code (look at the page source, I'll bet it even validates)

found the lagal at the end of the page a Kid wouldnt put that on his site

The ad mentions an Irish sanctuary too so I presume seperate terms apply.

I wouldn't have believed the crappy site was official 'til I saw the address in the ad :dunno:
