 The true quantative measurement of how good an advert is, is how many complaints it has.
 
Adverts that are seriously peeing me off atm are the ones that have been dubbed (badly) over from the US. Seems to be loads.

			[OK, so this is a radio ad, not a TV ad...] 
 
Little bump due to a DAB advert on "Absolute Radio" (prev. Virgin) irritating me. 
 
It goes on about how IIRC "e.g. you wouldn't still dial the operator to make a phone call" & makes other comparisons to technological progression & the 21st Century, says analogue radio is outdated & hard to tune, & tries to sell the virtues of DAB... "more stations", "easy tuning", and... "digital quality sound". 
 
Erm..."digital quality sound"? What, using a standard designed in the 80s, which uses the rather outdated MP2 audio codec? 
 
Give me FM! 
 
 
Oh, & the other adverts are all bloody awful too...

			The best imho is  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVE96a7YfME
The worst are with Carol Voderperson telling us how to consolidate all out debts into one. The car adverts shown twice in every single ad break also boil my pi55.

AGGGHH!!!!!!!!!
 
It's horrendous. I'm sure they played it every single ad break today on Absolute Radio, and then tonight I heard it again, this time on TV during an ad break for The Gadget Show.
 
It's really, really, the most annoying advert I've heard. It sounds like the sort of crap that chav teens have blaring out of their mobile phone speakers while on the bus. Ugh.
