    Double Discount!

    OK, whenever a string of 5 adverts, all shouting "double discount" at me come on the telly, various sentences come out of my mouth, many of which contain words beginning with 'f'.

    Anyway, who's sick of all the advertising "tricks" these days?

    To make this more fun - I've made a poll.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    hehe, damn right m8, thats exactly what its like.
    not to mention the worst offenders.. womens hair products and make up advers... "here comes the science bit, concentrate" yeah because trying to figure out how this dodgy computer animated graphic could possibly be of scientiffic value is beyond me!!!!

    and tell me another thing, how can hair be 70% more radiant? surely to make such a statement you would have to be able to meausre radiance?

    sigh... I particulary notice these because I notice my girlfriend watching intently taking it all in, and then I have to give hera slap and explain why it its bollox.

    /end rant

    Those REALLY get my goat! Now they're calling stuff "serums" because that sounds more scientific! Oh, and what's that thing that contains "boswelox?" Notice what that sounds a lot like when you say it?

    hehe, I saw one of them, in the small print it gave an example (probably the best you could get from them), that said a 20grand debt would only be 90 quid a month, but would cost 47grand altogether.... that takes the piss, its comparable to the third world debts to the IMF and World Bank that just continually grew, and F***ed over the little people in those countries. Just in this case theyre F***ing over the little people directly.

    Never, NEVER get into debt if you can avoid it is the only thing those adverts teach me, apart from wanting to rip te heads off the smarmy faced actors who sold their souls to those sons of satan to promote their product.
