    ...it says it all in the title...feel free to move this,i wasn't sure if it was for Television or here...not just slightly annoying ads,but ones that make you want to kill.

    I absolutely detest that o2 ad. It has been running for so annoyingly long,and that song will forever be linked in my mind with pain. you all must know the one i'm talking about...




    grrrrrheeeaaaaagh

    Permanent TSB ads on Today FM, the ones with the Mafia character. They were funny for a week, it's not funny to hear them 12 times in 20 minutes every morning!!!:mad:

    Hate them too.
    Also the "Have you been in an accident that wasn't your fault? If so, we'll sue the pants off someone at no charge to you".
    There always on during the day too, targetted at the unemployed.

    Yeh, but it does the job doesn't it? I mean the jingle stays in your head for f*cking ages!! Also you'll NEVER forget the web address!

    Ads I hate are the ones that promote pointless products and suggest that you can't live wthout them! Take the Calgon ad. "keep your machine safe, use Calgon everyday". If you use Calgon tablets everyay for a few years I reckon you would have spent enough money to replace your washing machine anyway!! So why not take your chances, and not use Calgon and see what happens? I know what'll happen - your machine will NOT break down due to hardwater build up. Such a problem does not exist. I mean who has ever suffered from this??? It's a scam!!! I have my machine 8 years and it's still going strong. But there's people out there who will buy this product and use a tablet everyday 'just in case'. I mean ffs, the cost isn't justifiable to the risk even if the risk existed!!!!!
