SO, are there any TV ad's, commercials, programmes, stuff like that.... which are on TV which just annoy you/are pointless? in your opinion....

I only watch TV at night, usually, and I seriously hate that Esure advert, with the blue mouse, havn't seen it much lately but god damn is it annoying, the little "jokes" are stupid.
Also, that Elephant.co.uk advert, EH?! they are advertising car insurance, obviously for drivers... people around 20 and above lets say. So why include that guy in an elephant costume and make little jokes which appeal to kids? WHY?

You guys?

Oh, also I hate those shows like Jerry Springer, I guess I could live with them, but theres soo many, and some are fake... whats the point in that? :huh:

I'd say its all about the money... They make those shows because there is a market for those shows... some people actually love them. :|

And as far as for the ad's... some companys marketing teams seem to be pathetic and/or adequate and have no clue whatsoever of what is going on in the world nor in their own heads.

Oooh, that brings back painful memories.... people at school used to reffer to me as him and for ages I had no idea who he was and everyone used to ask me who's your favourite Barry, apart from yourself? :sad:
Got old fast though.

My real name is Barry Lannon, so you know....

I hate all the car insurance and financial adverts. So boring and corny, like the fake injuries they pay poor actors to perform for the conpensation claim adverts.

They piss me off big time.

Those annoy me so much, they're like "Did you have an accident at work, are you injured? You may be entitled to compensation". Then you see this fat bitch, obviously not designed to work in anything else than a butter factory falling off her chair and fracturing her arm. The part that really pisses me off, is when you see them being "interviewed" saying shit like "I managed to claim £10,000 from my employer from injuries obtained at the work place".

Fuck that shit, get a stronger chair. Or when they spill coffee over themselves, if they can't handle hot drinks..don't have them.
