    Well they're right in saying it looks "cheap and tacky" but I think that the most irritating advert that gets on my nerves is the Halifax one "xtra xtra you know you want more" I mean what the hell ?!?!

    I love all these tacky adverts

    Currys.........always cutting Prices
    Extra extra....you know you want more...
    I'm lovin' it.
    Where in the world? PC World!
    But one get one free....buy one get one free...
    Our lowest prices just got lower!

    There really are some classics out there.

    thanks theo - you rock you get my vote as king

    "where in the world... pc world" is cool, even though the shops pretty bad and you have to literally beat the sales people to a pulp before they let you out without getting the extra special "warranty/insurance" , the tunes really catchy, and i sometimes notice people singing the tune at work

    worse than that though, whilst the halifax ads are okay, some people at work actually sang the song!!!

    Linda Barker is a honey. She makes Maffu feel all unneccessary.

    What bugs Maffu is the pure evil incarnate that is the adverts offering Westlife CDs at £9.99 rather than £12.99. Why? You think knocking £3 off the price of "their" CD is going to make me buy it? No. They're rubbish at £12.99, they're still rubbish at £9.99, and it's not worth the few clicks within Kazaa, or something else, do get it that way.

    Ugh.

    When will they learn?

    The ad is working. Other advertising agencies would KILL THEIR GRANDMA's for exposure like this. You guys are being brainwashed.. mwahaha.

    Linda Barker is selling herself too much though and if she doesnt cut down then she will find she has ZERO selling power... and everyone will go "remember Linda thingy? i heard she is a waitress in crete."
