    Marketing in general pisses me off. F*cking lies spouted 6 times an hour (in North America anyway). I don't want to see this bullsh*t. It's ugly, garish and fueled by bullsh*t.

    I have three ads that drive me mad! Firstly the Wow harvey wow ad for Harvey Normans thats on the radio now.

    The advert on telly for Irish Ferrys or Stena Line or one of those with the boy saying The ship was brilliant but my younger sister everytime it comes on keeps saying the sh1t was brilliant, as the boy doesnt pronounce it right.

    The advert for the airfreshener where the boy tells his mother he's going for a poo in pauls house...

    The list is endless but I'll stop now.

    Also there's an ad on the radio for a charity saying sponsor a child in need, but everytime I hear it sponsor a child in Meath comes to my mind. Its the way they pronounce need. :o

    All the ads for mascara. They all have a disclamer down the bottom saying "model wearing fake lashes" or "lashes enhanced post production".

    The funny thing is, ye may hate these ads, but ye do know them. Which is really the point of Advertisements. If ye had a need for the product from the ad, you will remember it!

    I hate any Budweiser Ad, it gives the false impression that Bud is made for human consumption, which we all know is false.


    very funny bravo

    yep - i do the same - not gonna help pay for your adverts!!!

    em that poo ad bugs me
    also any of the voice over adverts for Danone - haven't bougth their products in years as a result.

    adverts which aren't voice overs but sound like they are or maybe should be.

    posters/advertisements with American spellings instead of standard using English spelling - Z's instead of S's

    I bloody hate that "Tranquility" ad that does be on Sky One late at night!
    The calm music in the ad just grates on my nerves for some reason which isn't helped by the really cheap, old looking footage of waterfalls, cliffs and deer in the wild. It really annoys me!

    Perhaps I should order it and chill out :p

    Those Activia ads that make up fake scientific names for things for marketing reasons. It's like they just shat all over my intelligence. Bifidus actiregularis? **** off you knobs, actiregularis my hole.

    "He drives, she dies".

    As well as being horribly sexist, it's just embarrassing.

    Jose Mourinhio, a portuegeezer, who works in Italy telling my i need to get Sky HD to watch the footy.

    Also, not sure what its for, but the one where the kid buys the fake scars. He turns to face the camera with a stupid f'ing grin. I'd love to cave his face in!!!!

    The worst ad I seen recently was in the Storm Cinema in Waterford recently, its another one of these sexist one's telling young male drivers to slow down.

    Its a citroen saxo parked up in a dark area with 2 people obviously getting jiggy wid it (car bouncing/squeaking suspension/moans) the squeaking/moaning/bouncing gets faster and faster then stops with guy sighing.
    Cue girl saying 'Is that it' or something to that effect then voice over - men slow down, going fast doesn't impress the ladies.
    I haven't got it word perfect but that's kind of the gist of it. I was cringing so much watching it.

    I would also happily throttle whatever numpty created that 'I want to poo at Paul's house' or the other one with the little kid that can't stand the smell of his turds and sends a note out under the bathroom door for his mother to send in a refill for the bathroom air freshener.
    So wrong
