The 3 ad on Aranmore; "This is my office, I have to have that connectivity" says the fisherman. Did he not know how to fish before the internet came along or something? Lads have been doing it for thousands of years but this chap sounds like he needs a few instructional Youtube videos while he's out on the water.

These days it's the only way you'll know that the idea was put on file, in a filing cabinet.

Oh thanks for reminding me of that advert....

Ugh, it was on for a year, and then they quickly killed it off. I can understand the 'intention' behind it.
But the ad itsself was uncomfortably too 'friendly'.

Similar to the thrush advert.

And then the doctor gives this weird look to the mother, as if she is talking to a nutcase.

The ads that show what Santa Claus does on the other 364 days of the year.
It wasn't easy but they have made one of the worlds most beloved characters look like a total bellend.

Ah steady on.

Why would Fairy hire Vogue whatsherface to do an ad?

What is the appeal of this human?

Are there really grown men and women out there who would be influenced by her?

Why would anyone encourage her?

Her agent must be able to wrangle some good money for her.

All I ever see when she appears on TV is this.

She was in another ad previous to that one I think but I can’t remember what it was.

She craves the attention.

Think about it. She first came into the public eye as the wife of Brian McFadden. All the bells and whistles associated with a "celeb couple".

That went belly-up and she started to branch into a more serious career of investigative journalism. Had a few RTE docs etc. Became her own person.

And then she gets with the latest fella-surprise surprise a "celeb" too. Reality TV no less, the bastion of high culture. Oddly enough, her career has for some reason taken a back-seat yet again. I wonder why?

The likes of her and her constant need for fame is why this generation is more or less f*cked.

"Theodore".

A name more suitable for a big black guy or one of the Chipmunks.

100%.

Shameless 'famous for being famous' stuff. She was being pushed upon audiences as a voice of the young generation at one point. She made a few appearances on Brendan O'Connor's Cutting Edge and even had a newspaper column in which she made some moronic comment about refugee camps or something. Didn't go down well.

So the latest is trying to capitalize on parenthood now. What's next? A lifestyle book for model 'Mummies'? A series of documentaries on raising kids in modern Ireland? A line of overpriced Mummy wear?

Pretty sick that there are companies enabling this person who is hell bent on a media career despite having zero to offer audiences. There must a lot of impressionable, vacuous young women buying into it though.

There's a plethora of people (mostly women) that seem to be darlings of media executives and seem to be everywhere despite being about as popular as standing in dogsh*t in your bare-feet.

A few that spring to mind:

- The aforementioned Vogue
- Amy Huberman
- Mairead Farrell

When it comes to the more serious stuff you could also count Norah Casey for a while.

You could throw in the likes of Dermot Bannon I suppose, but in fairness to him although he is everywhere he does at least draw an audience.

Fade Street-that's what got her noticed first. Everyone forgets Fade Street... RTE's answer to 'The Hills', or 'Orange County' or whatever sh** you can think of.
It was pants-around that time TV3 and RTE were in constant competition to produce the sh**iest TV. (TV3 did Dublin Housewives, a show that was curiously absent of actual 'wives' since most of em were either unmarried, single, or single parents who never married. One of em complained she wasn't paid enough-she got 1000 quid for the entire series).

Vogue then got with McFadden, even sold a program about 'getting ready for their wedding' or some s**t.

Her appearances on Cutting Edge were often hilarious-notably Niamh Horan literally calling her out on her bulls**t. Vogue was like a deer in headlights, she wasn't used to people calling her out. And she couldn't hit the block button on real life.

Allison Spittle is creeping back in there too.

I would add Stefanie Preissner to that list, but she had the chutzpah and intelligence to back up her s**t.
Doesn't get up herself, and is happy to talk to people on twitter or insta.
