    Man of the World is a great song and is widely regarded as one of the best songs of the sixties.

    the car was flying clipped the side of the road, tumbled at high speed knocked down a fence, yet done little or no physical damage to the kid. Maybe he didnt get hit, maybe he just fainted. I hate that ad, if the kid was mowed down, at least show failing body parts.

    worst ad atm is the add about the woman quitting smoking. im pretty sure she's from ireland like, and she's talkin about how hard it is to socialise with people in bars, but there is a FÚCKING SMOKING BAN.

    worst ad ever

    I don't like the ad for a different reason. Clipping side of road is easy to do, it doesn't require alcohol. Just a minute loss of concentration or misjudgement can do it. A number of people I know have done it(including myself), thankfully without any effect on anyone else. IMHO the ad is very misleading, and exploitative. I still think it's a great song.

    I know I'm a bit off topic but ....
    She's just bloody annoying. As an ex-smoker can tell you that would have feck all effect on smokers.

    I prefer the Sammy Mumba's Body to Body myself, but I've always been a bit strange. Pity they couldn't have gotten bowie's though...

    You watch far too many ads :D. A bit less of that and learn how to Google. Someone called Amber in 1999.
