Go harvey norman, please go

There's a knob or button called "Volume" on your TV or radio if you find it too loud.

I despise his voice too. If I ever met the man, I'd stab him in the larynx with a fork.

On the subject of annoying adverts that 'compare the market/compare the meerkat' jingle is stuck inside my head. I've tried to just sing it out of my system but it won't let go.

The mute button is even better! the one on my remote is almost worn away, they up the "loudness" during the ad breaks so I just mute to avoud being deafened, especially if the programme I'm watching is quiet.

The harvey ads put me off ever going there, I was sure the voice would be blasted all around the store, but I hear they don't do this. I also despise ryanair flights where they turn the sound up really high flogging stuff, can't get a kip.

So if successful your campaign will result in hundreds of jobs being lost
not to mention the resultant spin off losses to the economy.
All so you don't have to listen to a mildly irritating radio advert.

eh...missed the point there I think.
I don't want anyone to lose their job, of course not. What I want, is for HN to change their marketing campaign. I find it too agressive.
I believe their business may actually improve, as I know many people who won't shop there for the same reasons as me.

Can't stand the HN advert.

Don't mind the compare the meerkat one but HN drives me batty!

he's an action hero. When trouble looms he presses a button on his belt buckle, shouts "go harvy go" and then goes absolutely cracked throwing electrical appliances at everyone and anyone. Kind of like crazy cat lady from the simpsons.

I don't think Harvey Norman is that bad.

Quoted for truth. This ad should be banned immediately.
As should the new BMW ad on the radio.

Both are fucking hideous.

Does anyone remeber that ad for some rival company that went something like this;

"BAWGINS!!!
BAWGINS!!!
BAWGINS!!!"
*crashing sound effect*

"**** off Harvey and take skippy with you!"

then something about "great deals on electronic......" I forget the rest.

I can't believe they got away with such blatant slagging off of competitors. Brilliant!

*I forget what word they actually used

Join in and sing the song! It will be less oppressive if you do

Didn't Harvey Norman get into trouble a while back for complaining that sales were down to such an extent it was like the Irish were having another potatoe famon? Loads of people took offense anyway.

These companies don't make losses. They complain when they don't make as much profit as they wanted.

In Ireland they do.

They are at least employing Irish people.

Its just a pity that our Irish retailers ripped us off for so long leaving an opening for the likes of HN and Currys. They may employ Irish ppl but the profits go to Oz
