    Most irritating advert?

    What's the most irritating advert/TV programme promo on TV at the moment?

    I'd nominate the Bitesize Shredded Wheat - where the girl walks in and reads the box to her mum, overpronouncing every word along the way. The Frosties advert with the kid just begging for a slap would be a close second.

    The TV programme promo would have to be for Courting Alex on Paramount Comedy, another identikit Ally McBeal ripoff to try and kickstart Jenna Elfman's career

    If you've got a link to a video, share the horror

    I hate all adverts mostly, I'll remember to post one when I see one that particularly annoys me.

    Picture the Loan - yes the stupid chubby oaf in his house that looks like a kindergarten classroom on the phone to those 'really nice people' getting all excited about taking out a
    loan for the rest of his life because his equally annoying bint of a wife has helped him squander what little cash he bothered to get his fat ar5e out of bed to earn on useless cr@p like digital camecorders which she uses for the sole pupose of filming king cretin as he wanders around the house saying 'ooooh thats great - much less than we are paying now' and 'ooh is that thunder at your end? well they better not cancel football'

    Die in the face.

    Oh - and I've got the right! no - you haven't you dirty charver.

    On a side note to Cillit Bang I have found this disturbing yet quite amusing video remix of Cillit Bang.

    The new Dove advert.

    Now Dove has a world-wide respected brand. The kind of images you relate to the Dove brand is one of happy families using it to wash their children, just before tucking them into a picturesque child’s bedroom that contains a light ambient glow reflecting off the walls and onto the posters of horses or cars (depending on sex).

    So what’s the last thing you do to a brand like that?
    No, really?

    Add some urban bad-boy r’n’b in it and subliminally tell everyone how cool and bad they will suddenly look to everyone who graces their presence.

    And just when you think it’s all over with the bottle coming up, they have to get one final “EVERYBODY COME REFRESH YOUR BODY” in.

    Oh how I want to hunt down the singers…
