It does indeed send shivers spine-wards, but I think it's effective - it made me stop, pay attention, and think about their services ...which was their aim, I guess.

However.....

another one for the Bad List: Herbal Essence shampoo †“ the †˜organic experienceâââ€Å ¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ campaign :mad: Get that advert off my telly NOW!

Ad I currently find stupid & annoying:

The one for "Beef Tonight", with the panda.


Not only is it stupid & annoying, but...

Excuse me, but WTF is there a panda in this TV ad? And in the poster ads? Since when do pandas eat beef? Aren't they veggies? I don't recall ever reading about a panda going off & hunting cows or anything like that, so why associate a vegetarian bear with a "beef tonight" sauce? :confused:

I like the Saab advert with the vapour trail comming off the back of the car. That ad works for some reason.

They've made that wrong, when you have an epilectic seizure or fit you dont just sudden;y fall down a flight of stairs and lay there then get up, you shake and then perhaps fall over.

If its the ad I think your talking about, I don't see the guy get up, I see him come round and he's in shock and wondering what just happened then you see a woman in the background running to his aid and then thats where the ad finishes.

I'm sure the NHS know what they are on about!! ;) I think in that ad, the man suffers whats called an 'atonic seizure' or 'drop seizure'. There are many types of epileptic seizures. You can find more info below for those interested...

Sharon bloody Osbourne in the new ASDA ads. Her annoying 'barbara windsor' style cackle and the end is grating.

[cackle]wow![/cackle]

Yeah, why did they choose her? She's hardly gotta worry about how much she spends on her weekly shopping.

...and it's hardly realistic, as I can't imagine Jack nor Kelly really being kept quiet watching a few videos or DVDs.

I reckon it'd be much funnier if they had filmed her walking through the aisles saying "f*** me, these potatoes are cheap... and f***ing hell, these Pot Noodles are on special offer", meanwhile Ozzy would be seen staggering down the wines & spirits aisle opening bottles of whiskey and sampling them.

I can't remember where I read it, but on a advertising trade site, I read that the agency contracted her to do the ad, then realised it was a bad idea. Trouble is, they were bound by the contract and Sharon held them to the terms..
