The constant ads for charities; where has the money for these ads come from?

Totally agree with you there. I`m guessing the amount given after an appeal far outweighs the cost of the adverts. They are very annoying though.

The meercats `frozen` advert was by far the best advert this Christmas for me.

The worst ad for me lately is that damn meerkat ad using Let It Go from Frozen. If I hear the song one more time I will literally scream.

It was good but not the best in my opinion.

So disagree with you! The best advert for me in a long time.

the sad thing is that with the success of stuff like Compare the Meerkat, they are all struggling to come up with their own unique quirky characters in order to get people talk about them and remember them. The new adverts for the broadband genie and price guru (or whatever he is) are stupid.

I do however love this and think it is genius:
