I have to agree Duncan. Like ALL womens magazines that advert makes me feel slightly nauseus.

Ohhhhh.... you just reminded me .... they got some money out of me. Albeit inderectly. I still feel slightly dirty and used because of that.

Re: McD's ads. They always say "i'm lovin' it" at the end of every single one. I certainly ain't lovin' it pal.

BTW, does anyone else find it somewhat unsettling that while they always make sure that ads featuring nude adults are tastefully done (e.g. numerous shampoo, shower gel and shaving product ads), they seem to be far more lax with ads featuring nude kids (e.g. the extremely poorly made Evian ad with the swimming babies)?

not me, although i'm not too keen on the ones (usually badly dubbed) showing them taking a dump with the door open while a cuddly puppy makes a nuisance of itself

They don't appear too often, although they are on a slow increase, but does anyone else find double doses of advert a major cause of increased blood pressure?

They always seeme to be particularly irritating ones and we get treated to them at the start and the end of the ad break, with insult added to the injury if the client's been a real cheapskate and just repeated exactly the same footage. Couldn't we complain and get this sort of thing classed with subliminal advertising and banned?

Almost as bad as the growing sponsor clips we have to put up with on films now, but at least you know their coming and can hit the remote.

Those damn creepy 118 118 ad's

vavavoom, the way it starts off with the mock science lecture, then quickly reverts to type (close-up's of arses).
also that one with the chameleon that doesn't change colour.

ANY ad with Linda 'who the fuck is she anyway' barker

Living TV seems the worst for it.
I'm sure they crank their adds through an amplifier :>

worst one i ever experienced was on the wrestling channel, it was an interview with shawn michaels, but the sound quality was shoddy, so i had to turn the telly right up, and the commercials would just kick in at random points....no chance of guessin when and hittin ye olde mute button......it was like...."yeah i love wrasslin....its gre*BUUUUUUUUUY SHITE*

Almost, they can't actually make them any louder, but they do process the sound to maximise the available signal level within the available modulation bandwidth.

That reminds me, how about the dumb Army recruitment adverts, where the kids are supposed to be sneaking about quietly, supposedly whispering to each other, only the whispering is louder than most conversation. Not clever when you're tying to be covert!!!

That bloody new Aero advert with the two women slurping while talking!
Fucking doe's my head in!

Put me off Aero chocolate now!

"I see you shakin that ass".....

Fucking Renualt Megane...who the fuck wants a car with an arse??

1. The boot (arse) on it looks like the old blue "invacars"(three wheeled disabled carriages) that used to be seen at the football 60-80's.

2. Vic & Bob had a car with an arse on "Shooting Stars".

3. If you own one, you have a bad choice in motors!
