Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
One wonders how well any new campaign will be seen by the ASA. Unfortunately VM's recent record hasn't been that good

Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
So the latest round of misinformation and untruths starts this Saturday on ITV. Looks like it won't be long until Virgin are back on Watchdog then.

Just pointing out that sometimes they are deemed to tell the truth.. 
I'd like to suggest ALL advertisements should be treated with suspicion..not just VM's.
It's the having to read between the lines with all ads that gets on my nerves.All those delicious offers and bundles that one sees that when you look further into them and find the hidden costs,they turn out to have no real savings over other companies products.The way they split up the costs through out an ad and you have to add up to get some idea of the total cost and then when you think that's not too bad and you then make further inquiries and find there are other hidden costs that barely get a mention and only if you think to ask about them.
It's no wonder that most of the fabulous offers leaflets end up in the bin.It's too much hard work.
And whatever the product whether it be beans or broadband the obfuscation to prevent one from comparing like with like really does make me want to beat someone around the head.

Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
I don't trust that Bolt guy. He's lied again and again about my speed upgrade, so I'm not going to start believing him now. He should stick to running.....

Well, someone did once propose that a squad of monkeys hitting a keyboard at random will, given enough time, eventually type out the complete works of Shakespeare just from chance.
