The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Advertisers are wankers and proud of itI work in advertising. To all you poor saps who complain, we know when the ads are annoying, that's usually the point!
For instance, do you think it was just a fluke that Michael Winner was picked for Esure over all the other available cheap celebs? It came down to a shortlist of him, Alistair Campbell and Carol Vorderman for feck's sake!!!
See also the Cadbury's singing gorilla.
Point is we know that most people will buy any old crap so long as they remember the ad (for whatever reason) and it has a celebrity's 'approval'. And it's much easier/cheaper to make an irritating ad than a good one.
The exception to this rule is anything involving Kerry Katona.
