It aint what it says on the tin......

questionmark?

In effect we are all subject to false advertising/hope//bahhumbugsyndrome.

You see an advertisement for PUS5Y, thinking the place has gone all Dutch and anyone that has a pimple for a head or a stamp collection can get some! Only to find its an energy drink.


You turn on the sports news to only find cricket on it. Any 'sport' that stops for rain and takes three days to decide who won has no place on the sports section.

Yeah, like those JLS condoms. The band split, how can I trust the condoms won't?

In reality, I haven't a fcuking clue what you're talking about.

Don't worry it ain't mandatory to know!

On another note are those JLS condoms second hand? Picked up after a groupie and repackaged?

They mean a different type of cod.

Vanish is the worst one. In fairness, those ads - they don't really try too hard to convince you their product works! Here is my tshirt with a bunch of manky stains, here is a completely different tshirt blinding me with it's clean, clear brightness. Wow.

I've no idea if this is actually what this thread is actually about though, coz I don't know about cricket, or pussy energy drinks, or JLS condoms.
I do know though that those mint flavoured condoms burn the beejeezus out of my insides

I know what you mean OP. It's like when you open up a box of Family Circle, expecting yummy biscuits inside, and someone has put a yucky sponge cake or something in it instead.:mad:

I'm female, with a teenage sister, I also know loads about One Direction, The Wanted, and many other rubbish music acts. I then go stick in my headphones and listen to Rammstein and Dimmu Borgir to forget about them.

What about in a situation where what it says on the tin accurately describes the contents of the tin?

You didn't think about that OP did you?

Checkmate.

I know the feeling, I have a sibling who is a massive westlife and Garth Brooks fan, after getting a lift in his car I have to have a cold shower with NIN or Tool as loud as it can go.

Not a younger sister though, an older brother, which is a problem for a whole other thread.

Although it's not really false advertising, I've a serious gripe with the Lottery ad with the ould woman and the dog with the song "That girl's a genius....." in the background.

What the hell is an elderly woman doing spending money on lavish things like a Jet,motorbike and a sports car (with no boot to put her groceries in)? No cop on there at all bless her.

Did the members part company and decide to go separate ways ?

Or did they actually 'split'?

I know which outcome makes me feel warm inside.

She's old and not likely to be able to use the money when dead hence the immediate need to spend it.

What's the deal there? Are they JLS flavor? Like a mixture of sweat and fart. And who exactly is the target market? What a wanky idea.

God I hate that. My mother had a big box of Celebrations in her press last week. I was all excited thinking about the pig out I was going to have. When I opened it and there was a manky porter cake in it, one with huge glacé cherries looking back at me. T'was one of the most disappointing things that has ever happened to me.

Ah you just can't bait some good ol' fashioned family time with your siblings where you discus the latest boy bands, celebrity endorsed condoms and pussy invigorating energy drinks.

Good times.

Mr. CooL ICE

Foods labelled "healthy" and "low fat" are mostly unhealthy and high in sugar and/or other additives. Special K is possibly the worst offender of this.

If you buy a tin that says "tin" on it, and inside is another tin (with "tin" on it), you're going to have a bad time.

I think the idea is to STOP you from needing to ****.

I have no idea. I know they're 'extra safe' and fcuk using extra safe, the poor bloke would feel like his knob is being strangled. Therefore, I won't use them. :pac:
