Annoying Adverts

Piggymon · 19-08-2007, 18:28

...I think I've turned into Victor Meldrew... I'm getting increasingly pissed off with adverts that seem to encourage children to misbehave.

The most recent one is a George at ASDA one for school uniform.

It features a kid speaking and saying other kids should say to their Mums " you might pay for the trousers but I wear them " and another one with the same kid saying that kids should undo their top button and loosen their tie or they won't fit in with other kids in the playground or words to that effect.

What the hell are we teaching kids these days ffs ! .. I know it's only a small thing but it just adds up to the problem these days of kids growing up before they need to and being treated like equal adults instead of what they are .. children who should bloody well do what they are told

I'm going to be an evil Mummy

I agree with you completely.

Not only do children know that they can do whatever they want without any kind of reprimanding but now they're being actively encouraged to misbehave and be little bastads

Is that just until they get taller than you, you know, at age 3?

The underarm spray one, I forget which brand, where 7 women get some spray and 2 tops, and at the end of the week, see which top they choose to wear, one woman says, "You can just put it
on and forget about it". Funny that, cos whenever I use my spray in a morning, I stress about it all day long

Annoying adverts? Cillit Bang. Barry Scott. Do I need to say more?

Sadly advertisers know all too well the power of nagging children and they've used that to their advantage for years, despite assertions and even regulations to the contrary.

Another one that pisses me off is the one for the coco pops straw things.... no it's fine I won't have a proper breakfast .. I'll **** about with a stupid bloody drinking straw !

Such a weird advert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpD1U_3gnrk

The worst part of that advert is where they agree to the 25K loan while she's on the phone.

"About 25 thousand?"
*Mouths '25?' to husband*
*Dude gives the thumbs up*

No wonder they're in spalling debt.
