what the HELLS goin ON!!!

Don't answer that.

Something's not right on that Island, and the people have dodgy crossed paths.

And after next week we have to wait weeks until the next season, that's not right either.

Four toes. Not right.

RTE should have showed eps23 & 24 back to back at 9pm, like they did in America. The last episode is good, dont miss it!

Yeah i was watching that 23rd ep, was mystified as to why they spaced out to two episodes. Should have advertised and cashed in on the both tbh. Big lost finale headline in teh RTE guide would have done it, then cash in on sponsors and advertisements during the programme...

Speaking of which...
I am an avid fan of Lost & Monday nights won't be the same after next week. However, I am looking forward to a few months free of those two fcuking gobsh1tes on the Lucozade ads.

If there are any Lucozade marketing heads reading this - I used to like your products. I bought them regularly. But never again! You ruined too many perfectly good advertising slots during Lost.

I hope that the marketing campaign managers for Energiser-wotsit end up on a deserted island being harassed by hostiles & then torn limb-from-limb by rabid polar bears only to find that it is not a bloody dream. No - it is real life retribution for putting those two spanners on the telly week after week.

:mad:

I don't know how somebody wouldn't find these annoying...

My favourite (read WORST) is the one where all the guy has to do is read out the numbers... he gets to the end and starts to forget:
fffff-(someone prods him with a stick)-fforty two


But yeah... 4 toes... on a huge greek style statue... in the middle of nowhere

*cough* atlantis *cough* (the way this show is going... I wouldn't be surprised)

Evil_Bilbo

goin back to the topic- I know the creators said they'd explain everything etc- do you think they'll explain why there's so many cross-connections with the losties / others / dharma outside the island

like that beardy fella last night and libby meeting up with desmond

or do you think they'll just say "ah - its a small world you know - these meet ups were just co-incidences"?

What say ye?

ayatollah

yeah i ****in hate those lucozade ads too - whever came up with them should be beaten with eko's jesus stick!!

I know the guy who does the adds. Actually I know of him. He is a bad person .... He works for an IT company in Blackrock in Dublin. His name is Dara. Maybe we could collaborate to ensure that he ends up swimming with the fishes in the near future.

Creamy Goodness

jaysus we ain't that harsh, i haven't seen the ad's in question but you just can't make him fish food for a woeful ad.

5 Times

Seriously - It might be the best thing to do. We are all upset that RTE halved what was supposed to be a double episode. It would relieve a lot of anger in this country if we fed the Lucozade guy to the fishes. Productivity in the country would increase.

AliasFan47

They don't annoy me as much. I've gotton used to their voices and strange heads. Lets start a poll O2 or lucazade sponsorship?

i would go with Lucozade...

emeraldstar

i actually can't remember any of the O2 ads at all....

Agamemnon

Come on 5 Times, give us more info on that twat. We should set up a meeting with anyone else interested in forming a lynch mob. I can supply petrol and nightsticks, can anyone bring pitchforks? We can make him tell us where to find the girl too if we have a chat with him Sayid-style.

Evil_Bilbo

jeez - remember the o2 adds - pretty awful aswell

"I think I'll just have a starter"
beep beep - "lost is on"
"oh you just text yourself that under the table"

They were annoying in a D4ish kind of way - the lucuzade ones are very in your face and pretty dumb too - the smart, smarmy, serious heads on them. One of my mates is the image of the guy - the absolute double of him. If we cant find the real guy to torture, we can always take out our frustrations on him.

So one of your mates did the ad and is now denying it. "Oh no, I just look like him. Heh Heh Heh!"

Cheeky bastard.

When you see him again, punch him in the back of the head.

Dear god man, her face looks as bad as the plane crash. That add is the source of evil and its maker should be doomed to an eternity of being harassed by those two, sleeping with the fishes is too sweet a deal for him.

Lost = losts of people watching especially young adults
sponsorship = RTE getting practically all the money they paid for lost back as it was rumoured they didn't pay a lot for the series

Well I think it has to do with potential viewers and the size of the market. That's why RTE can get stuff before Channel 4 and the like.

This is also why there's not all that much great Irish drama/comedy on RTE. It costs too much to develop. Why bother when they can just import high quality shows for less money?

ah sure with the weather he'd probably go swimming without us eggin him on...

or did you mean sleeping with the fishes cause thats just wrong and the have really nasty small sharp teeth so it could hurt

unless your eelgirl

AliasFan47

It would be great to put them both up on youtube to show people from other countries the theories Lucozade have thought up. BTW, the producers have discrrediter most of them and hear the most stupid one of all.

Every episode raises another question! At first I believed finding out the answers would make watching the show worthwhile, but not after the disappointment of revealing what the monster is. With all the money they have, couldn't they have come up with something better than black thundery smoke??

Silage

I don't understand why someone would stop buying Lucozade products just because of an ad. I mean like, cop yourself on. I buy Lucozade becuase it tastes nice not beacause the ads are good/bad.

That's like the people that don't go to see a movie because they don't like the personal life of the actor starring. Ridiculous!

Yes, it's one thing to allow morality to affect who you buy from, but personality clash is another question.

Another question... This thread is getting like an episode of Lost.

Silage

Aren't personality clashes based on morals?

Fair point, they can be to an extent since morality is part of personality, but it's possible to have a personality clash where different morals are not the issue, it could be appearance, accent, smell, gate, or whatever. Some research on babies reacting to faces suggests this may be wired into our dna to guide us in choosing a mate or identifying potential enemies.

I get a pattern match on the luco-lass, those lips, she could suck a bowling ball through a fire hose, and the shag me sideways look in those big blue eyes. More of her.

The guy irks because it's a fullscreen fish-eye close-up and any guy in your face like that would be a stranger in your space which is naturally irksome, except if you're whiskeyed up and it's "no, listen, you're a best friend in the whole world, was that last orders or did I just blink?".

Of course reactions to that in your face bit can reveal homosexual tendencies. Other research found guys who expressed homophobic views got more of a physical genital reaction to gay movies than did guys who expressed no strong opinion. Seems it's their own gay/bi impulses they were having trouble dealing with. Could that phenomenon be manifest on this thread?

I've no beef with Lucozade unless I discover something bad about the company.

This thread's going to end up in the Cuckoo's Nest. What the hell is going on?
