    Before anyone accuses me of being harsh or whatever, let me just say I do of course have great sympathy for people who are starving. Its a terrible world we live in.

    Ok, now here's my gripe. Am I the only person who is sick to the back teeth with that Concern advert that begins with "fever diarrhoea . . . "? It is on almost all day on loads of channels. I literally cant watch tv for 30 minutes without them accusing me of being a baby killer by proxy. I'm so sick of it, maybe if they spent more of their budget 'curing' starvation instead of advertising they wouldn't need so many ads.

    Baby killer.

    I switch the channel when it comes on and usually miss a few more ads. Advertisers should really refuse to have their ad shown in the same break as I know plenty of people who do the same.
