View Full Version : Annoying ads part 2
The advert which currently annoys the proverbial out of me is the one for this saturday's Lottery Superdraw. Maybe not so much the advert but that woman in the red top who blinks about 50 times a second as the camera zooms in on her at the start - where on earth do they find these people???

To rub it in a bit more adverts are a thing of the past.:D Still see the odd one or two when watching live TV. Plus I'm a terrible channel hopper when adverts come on.

I think B&Q were too cheap to hire actors/actresses. I think they are actual staff.
I have just seen an ad and it has annoyed me, so here goes....
Most annoying Ad is The Orange one. The one that goes Sell Sell Sell Sell endlessly aaaaarrrrgghhh.

Sometimes the ads are more entertaining than the main program you are watching.

Now I know which Halifax branch to avoid..
Howard has actually left the customer side of Halifax and now works for their advertising department.
