It's a Cadbury's ad.

It's being read, questioned, quoted and discussed - so, not really a crap ad!

Cadbury's don't get paid everytime someone talks about one of their ads. A successful ad is not one that "we're all talking about", it's one that brings in money to the company. I'd go as far as to say that an advertisement could be considered a success if no-one ever talked about it but a large number of people went out and bought the product.

An ad that gets everyone talking about it may raise awareness of the product but if no-one is buying the product then the company still isn't making any money.

It's successful inasmuch as it's made me think about chocolate and given me the urge to go out and buy a bar of chocolate. That's bringing in money.

Okay. I was more making a general statement about all advertisements. The point being that talking about an ad doesn't bring in money, people buying the product does.

I agree with xzanti, they could have made the point more strongly and it would probably have increased people's desire for creamy, silky, chocolately deliciousness.

Rasmus

This was a fun thread among many. Egos get the better of some of them though.

Me too! Also i'm going home to paint all my walls purple. The pool table is class and the little dog. He should be a chocolate labrador though!

€350,000 for a pub and restaurant in the centre of Dundalk?

Not too shabby.

Except the restaurant looks like the Tea Room from Withnail & I!

Went to see THIS place today. There's no pics of the third bedroom. That's because it's been converted into a (supposedly) soundproof bar! Complete with bar area that has it's own door from the main corridor and corner pub seat that was custom fitted and not removable and bar table and high and low stools! The agent told me the bar area could be used as a wardrobe.

There is a mattress in the bar. Handy, you could wake up and go straight for pints.

Emm Surely having a customised bar built into the place would be a selling point as opposed to wanting to cover it up???
Like is it decent looking or ridiculous? I dont understand them being sneaky about and underhand about something that most people would see as a plus point

UPDATE
Just saw your flicker pics........... Know i know LMFAO.
Ang about... So the bar where you will be queing for your cocktails...has a bed at it.... the area where the "bar tender" will be standing ie your mate, has about as much room as a kitchen cupboard. Is that a door behind the bar... wheres it go??? The cellar? Beer garden????

Maybe someone should buy the place and knock it down?
