Best and worst TV ads"I'd like to give that dodo off the 5 Alive adverts a good kicking," says tom.joad. And luckily, there's tasty, tasty Cillit Bang to clean up the blood stains when you've finished. Tell us about TV adverts.

Adverts. Bah!You know how in communist China they all wore the same uniform clothes? That’s how adverts should be. Functional but no more.
The Coca Cola song would be “It’s a drink it’s a drink it’s a fizzy fizzy drink”, Actimel women would explain that the only way to lessen bloating is to eat less you fat cow. The Lynx Effect would be a spotty youth having a quite evening down the boozer followed by an early night and a wank. Guinness adverts wouldn’t exist at all.
Freed from a constant stream of messages telling us how shit our lives are compared to people who use Eau Savage pour Homme, we could all march forward, hand in hand to the sunny socialist uplands.

Would help if we were not scum.Most, if not all, current advertising is just appeals to our more animal side and lots of other manipulative crap.
Personally, I couldn't do something that wasteful and exploitative for a living.
That said, I work for a law firm at present so perhaps I'm being hypocritical? I like to think that, ultimately, adverts only work on morons and one at a time they will all buy a carcinogenic shampoo.

We would all like to think that adverts only work on morons,but then the people who spend millions of pounds making them aren't morons and they wouldn't do it if it didn't work. So either we're all more impressionable than we think, or there are an awful lot of morons; both quite worrying prospects.

A Daimler Sovereign.The only car I really aspired to own, and did for a breif time, was a 1983 Daimler Sovereign I owned earlier this century -- bought it because it was the car I liked most of all I'd ridden in..
Very little that I buy is advertised -- unless you count whichever pissy UK-brewed lager is cheapest when I'm skint and I go to the off licence.
Don't get me wrong, I make the odd impulse buy at the checkout but otherwise I buy the cheapest for most things and the one that matches my criteria for the fun stuff.
