# i fucking hate that ad with a passion
Its just cadburys looking on youtube, seeing the latest 'cool' video (the japanese guy with the face electrodes), and then spunking billions of quid into doing a 'cool' ad that has nothing to do with the product they are advertising.

The pepsi max ripoff of the matrix ping pong thing springs to mind

# People obviously don't want to think of pakis while their eating chocolate.

Is that behind or beyond the line? I can never quite tell with racist based irony. Because it's still essentially using racist terms.

No shortage of said people there. Oh god - youve dragged me into your racist/ ironically racist dilemma too!

# I think ironic jokes require irony you filthy wop.

# Irony is down to reading, so I can't really be held responsible for your ignorance.

EDIT: I also just remembered that wop is actually a slur against italians, because I always associate it with Armando Iannucci who is scottish and thus with scottish people. Thus I thought you were being clever, which should have rung alarm bells to begin with.

# haha, what utter nonsense
where did you get that idea, wee man? Irony is a writing technique, and is in the majority of cases objectively, rather than subjectively, sardonic or counter-intuitive.

The audience often knows when someone is being ironic, not because they contrive to understand it that way, but because the style conveys irony. Your statement contained no irony.

But then, I can't be held responsible for blah blah internet insult.

# They are usually shit as well as irrelevent too. I'm sorry but that honda advert is not good, it's good for something on youtube maybe but it's not exactly a brilliant cinematic short or anything.
Now THIS on the other hand would be a fucking cadbury's ad: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d26j9oU7eaI

If it had happened really really slowly with close up shots then I might have said they'd stolen it. But there's no depressing music. NO DEPRESSING MUSIC!
