Most adverts you can get away from on TV
however there is one, that no matter how many times you press skip, or main menu, it remains firmly in your face. It's the anti-piracy advert that starts with a guy with a really serious voice saying -

"You wouldn’t steal a car"..."you wouldn’t steal a TV"...."you wouldn't rape your gran" (made that one up)


Like many you have said, sometimes when adverts are annoying, they have the opposite effect and now I have an overwhelming urge to rob people’s houses for their T.V's and car keys:(

I may get corrected on this one but buying a dodgy DVD from a nice Chinese lady is copyright infringement, not stealing.

You wouldn't steal a car...
Unless you could download it.

Exactly
This frequently gets shouted out in cinemas.

Plus, downloading's not like *actual* stealing, is it? You can always delete it afterwards and it's like it never happened.

I just borrow things
That I'm generous enough to share with others.

You wouldn't shit in the dead policeman's helmet...and then leave it on his widow's doorstep...and then steal it again!

I just hit the 'next' button
Or whatever it's called. 'Menu' doesn't work, but that one does. Assumed it worked for everyone.

Anyway, I would happily steal a car in, say, a zombie survival situation. They need to add context to these things.

Strangely enough the best way to avoid these annoying adverts is to pirate the thing in the first place

Job Done.

I also like the fact it's making so many assumptions about the person watching it.
"I wouldn't steal a handbag, FACT? Really? Are you sure? HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD OR WOULDN'T DO, FACT???"

Agreed and what they can
Safetly assume is the fact that, most people don't think, wow, Avatar looks amazing but screw going to the IMAX and watching in glorious 3-d, i'd rather wait until i get a copy from dodgy Dave down the pub....
