FabSwingers.com forum: Adverts you can't stand

Old or new.

For me right now it's the Nescafé advert (with everyone whistling "Bring Me Sunshine").

I have to mute it, it makes me want to rip my hair out.

Any that make you turn over, mute, or (in more extreme cases) want to smash up your TV?

On DAVE there is some stupid Swiss character eating a bowl of muesli. .it's so stupid I can't even remember the brand he's promoting.

It always starts with "Characters always...." followed by some really stupid obvious statement.

It's annoying as hell.

It's usually shown when Storage Hunters is on.

I'm not a fan of anything twee, so most ads tbh.

Slightly irritated too by the ads (or rather infomercials in this case) for anything blender/makeup related - "I bought this and it's totally changed my life"

Lol. No. Don't lie. It really didn't.

Far from the truth.

I agree, though he was irritating at first, towards the end of 'his time' he became rather endearing.

Can't stand these new ones though.

Apart from tv ads I'm actually more annoyed at the amount of telephone marketing calls I'm getting on my land line.

It's all the same stuff as well:

PPI

"blame to claim"

Free windows.

Free cruise.

Your PC has a virus.

Etc.

Anybody else getting numerous of these phonecalls.

Don't know if there's a phone number I can call to get these phonecalls stopped.

Anyone know/help?

Yup, gives you a guilt trip.

Although "live aid" started making us aware and raising money for starving children etc in Africa almost THIRTY years ago (so there must be billions of £ raised since then) There STILL doesn't seem a huge change in afica.

Makes you wonder if ALL the charity money actually goes to where it's supposed to.

I don't mind some adverts though I do end up shazaming the sound tracks if I like the music.......I watch a lot of programs on catch up so like missing the adverts then though I wish 4od would stop putting adverts in to comedy shows

Totally agree with, the more I see an advert for anything the less I am likely to buy whatever it might be they are pushing. I think I have developed an allergy to adverts, they are the curse of modern life

Are you kidding? Vincent has travelled around Africa to build schools and there is such a contrast in ridiculously rich areas and ridiculously poor areas. Their government is so corrupt, neither of us can bring ourselves to donate money as it hardly ever goes where it's supposed to.

If you ever want to help, go out there and volunteer or find the smaller companies that specifically do volunteer work and donate to them.

all very well donating funds, but you have to think about what is being supplied, in the 80's, they supplied tractors to farmers, great, except there was nowhere to buy diesel, no mechanics to maintain and repair the tractors. Rusting away happily in the African sun. When they hand out food parcels, might be a good idea to slip in a years supply of condoms and/or birth control tablets.

Or... donate money for diesel and to train mechanics. Education's the way forward...
