i usually don't really mind them expect the ones that goes too long and the repetitive ones (somethin' played like three times in a row, seriously what the hell)

I said..you buy one you get one free!!

I think my problem is that I object to being shouted at by sh!theads trying to sell me crap, when I'm trying to watch my favourite program.


Don't know what you mean:



I SAY I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!

And as I said once, many moons ago in the Ranting Room, take a Heckler & Koch automatic pistol...



BANG! And the is gone...

Back to Safestyle Windows, though, when you look at their various marketing campaigns:



And of course...



It is so obvious they are aiming at the higher echelons as regards their marketing demographic... so where do they go wrong???

It depends on the advert. I love the Jackie Chan Visa Mastercard advertisment. You know, the one that promotes the Beijing Olympics.

I'm not a big fan of commercials, a few of them are OK, but most of them are stupid, idiotic, and pointless.  I guess what I really don't like about some is that the content of the commercial has nothing to do with what is being advertised.

Yeah thanks for that, Jim. Just what I need!

Another is that bloody Sheilas Wheels car insurence advert. If I ever see that again, my neighbiour is likely to be hit by a large low flying Philipps, colour TV..
