Whats the worst advert currently on TV? (mini rant)

[chriswood_7]

Anything with the words "Frosties" and "theyre gonna taste great" in the same advert makes me switch over.

Thats annoying little git should be hung out of a windows with people throwing stuff at him.

I'm afraid i strongly disagree with you there Gonzo, not that some people don't get off on things like that, but that its something that should be stopped.

A giggling naked baby on a babymat, just getting a nappy changed or whathaveyou is a perfectly natural and healthy thing. I for one would be offended if a mother/father felt they couldnt change their child in front of me, or any member of my family and therefore i see nothing wrong with it on TV. These adverts have no sexual connotations at all, and it is only the twisted minds of a very few individuals that could see something seedy in it.

Of course, someone making a baby in front of me in their living room would be completely unsuitable for family viewing....

thats ok, you stay in your happy bubble, you have to see both sides of the story.

You do know that Barry Scott also appeared on The Bill as an axe murderer?

I hate adverts full of psuedo-scientific claptrap. They make claims about what a product can do without any actual scientific basis, and they get away with it due to how they word it. The one I really hate though is one for some Olay face cream product which is fronted by some cretin brained witch called Nadine Baggott. I would really love to see her head caved in with a spade

I agree with all comments so far about Picture that gets my heckles up too. And we know where you found that scooter - up your

i like my happy bubble!


but to the point.

Alcohol causes problems, people blame it for many ills in their life and cite it as the reason for anger/violence. Should the rest of the population be denied alcohol because some people suffer adverse effects from it?

The naked body in various forms stirs humans as a whole emotionally and sexually, which could be considered an incite to rape, does this mean we should have no nudity in our society at all?

There are people in our society that fornicate with animals, not very many i am sure, but they are there. Should we then ban All Creatures Great and Small from our screens?

The very sight of a politician talking crap on TV, abusing their constituents trust and taking liberties with the tax payers money causes me personally, a great deal of anguish, can we please lock away all politicians for good?


I am not saying that there should be naked babies on every channel at every hour of the day, but I do take umbrance at the suggestion that a nappy advert or a baby food advert or whatever has been cited as the cause of paedophilic violence and attacks. Its an age old problem, starting long long before TV was around, and banning harmless adverts would have absolutely no effect on a paedophile that only needs to travel to the nearest seaside beach to see naked toddlers paddling etc.


now, i'm going back into my bubble, putting on my bubblewrap coat and i'm going to bounce pop all the way down my spongy stairs, cos its fun!

Any PC world advert which now claims that you can now do two things at once with a dual core processor (although it's technically true).

Seconded. After you've finished with that, can I borrow your spade for the latest round of Sensodyne ads, where the supposed expert is a ****ing market researcher! "So what does she recommend?" Why the firetruck would I care what she recommends - she's in marketing, FFS! She recommends whatever you pay her to recommend (or gets fired shortly thereafter if she doesn't). Next in line for some gardening implement love, I'd say.

i know what your saying, i should have pointed out its a new ad with a load of nekkid babies and a lot of editing to make them all to synchronised swimming. a lot of editing has been carried out post approval to blur out the private parts, i guess they thought it too much in its original state, I'm amazed it got out anyway.

fair do to a baby getting a nappy changed, but things are going a bit to far now days with the levels they stoop to for a fast sale.

[Dareos]

aye, i see your point there, and i don't reckon the company in question really wants the paedo market as its main client base. I think i have seen the advert in question but never thought about it one way or the other, no idea what the product its *advertising* is either, probably not johnsons baby lotion though.

Although now i am feeling slightly disturbed by a japanese advert I saw on Tarrant a few years back, lots of nekkid japanese kids all running around getting ready to get into the bath, they all get in and you see the view from below the water, line of bums and then some bubbles..

suddenly they are all at the back of the bath except this cheeky chap with a big grin on his face, personally i found it hilarious, but i was a lot more innocent back then.

One thing that does seriously annoy me though, is the nanny state we now live in, where everything is controlled and people saying what you can and cant watch and do and well, it gets to me, but then one of my favourite paraphrased quotes is :-

"im not saying theres too many stupid people in the world, but why not take the safety labels off everything and let the problem sort itself out"
