      And they tell you absolutely nothing about the car or its features.

      Is this the worst ad you've ever seen? Its just so patronising and horrific, how can they not see that? The crushing the brides foot one is bad but this is another level:


      Sweet Jesus!! Who the f**k thought that was a good idea for an ad? If that was on during the day the complaint lines would be flooded and rightly so.

      Soooo sooo bad.


      Does it work after a feed of Guinness, I seriously doubt it:)

      www.vi-poo.com

      Also stumbled across this, Poo-Pourri, similar product, I don't know if its a real ad or a sketch from some comedy show, either way I am scarred after watching, at your own risk


      There is a website, as well as Poo-Pourri they also sell digital prints for your bathroom in a section called "Other Sh*t", bizarre.

      Oh yes, the outrage over the Pepsi ad.....people need to get a grip!

      Mind you, they should have known better than to walk into social justice marketing. Modern advertising is rubbish!

      seems it being on at night helped stopping a ban.

      2016's most complained about ads

      10. Mars Chocolate UK Ltd t/a Maltesers

      151 complaints – Not upheld

      A Maltesers ad showed a woman in a wheelchair discussing her new boyfriend with two of her friends while enjoying packs of the chocolate. She mentioned how her disability caused her to have a spasm during a romantic encounter, which her boyfriend ‘misinterpreted’. Viewers said the ad was overly sexual and was offensive to disabled people. We ruled the women's conversation was likely to be seen as light-hearted and the allusion to a sexual act, although understandably distasteful to some, would not cause serious or widespread offence to viewers in general. We also noted the ad had a post-9pm restriction to prevent children from seeing it and that it was likely to be seen as championing diversity and disability not ridiculing it.

      Imagine if it was just a random woman who wasn't in a wasn't in a wheelchair acting that out. No chance it would air!

      There is another one now of some bloke proposing to his girlfriend in a ferris wheel or something. Think it's replacing the crap new car one rather than the mortgage,

      I guess the "new" Pepsi advert should get an honourable mention even though it was pulled before being aired. talk about a clusterfck. someone got fired

      A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

      As soon as the star of the advert was revealed to be a Jenner (or a Kardashian) you know it's going to be a groaner.

      Pointless airheads the lot of them.

      This too shall pass.

      Could the reason be because it's ****e? The lyrics sound like someone worked them out with a hammer, and everyone is so coooool it's like they're made of plastic.

      I have enot read all the posts here but I would be amazed if the ad for something or other which included two men sitting on a sofa with the All Blacks around them. Can't remember what the ad was for I just thought how cringing it was. Was it for 3 Mobile or something like that? Absolutely dreadful.

      The Tesco Easter egg hunt annoys me greatly.

      #MoreThanAnEgg


      1. Leave a trail of easter eggs leading into your house to lure a child there. 'Hansel and Gretel' style creepy.

      2. The granny is so lonely she has to trick her grandchild into visiting her.

      3. Who puts an easter egg into a fast flowing river as part of a small child's easter egg hunt???

      Ah no I didn't see it that way...

      Loads of Easter eggs, some in dreadful places alright. Child has a ball finding them. It's all so great and magical. Then she gets to Nana's house. And the thrill of seeing Nana far outweighs the eggs...

      Is there a recent ad where a woman comes out of the toilet with a spray to cover up her poo smell? Are we meant to carry this around with us now? How embarrassing!

      Yes it's annoying but it has certainly got the attention of people, if only for the wrong reasons but you'll remember the product - Skoda.

      There is, see 2nd post on page 43 and according to the ad if you want to buy it it is to be found in the toilet cleaners aisle just in case you were wandering around ready meals or the frozen aisle looking for it. If you buy it and you drink Guinness let us know how you get on won't you! :)
