Remember that advert for some loans company or other
with the annoying twat being filmed by his missus on the phone to a loans company. Well, him.

It wasn't the way the advert introduced us to "Mike, at picture (I'm sorting out the loan)", or the "all lads together" attempt at humanising a faceless company that hawks loans to the viewers of Jeremy Kyle. It was that fat faced wanker and his hilarious on-camera antics that made me want to arrange a loan and hire a hitman just to blow the smug tit's face off.

Surely a loan shouldn't be that easy to sort out? Surely you should have to fill out several forms and read lots of small print before selling your next 40 years wages away in bite-sized installments? But no! Look, it's so easy even this gammon-headed retard can arrange one while talking about football. "Whoa! Is that thunder your end or mine?" That's not thunder, that's the sound of the bailiffs kicking your door in and dragging your kids off to work in their overseas factories. Never mind, just head your football..... that's it.

I really, really hated that advert. If I ever meet that man in the street, despite the fact he is clearly a good deal larger than myself, I'm definitely going to shout "Mike at picture thinks you're a cunt!" at him. Probably.

A bit of rain never hurt anybody. Hasn't he ever watched the news?

^This.
I mean, how much of a retard would someone have to be if they needed to enquire if thunder was at your end of the line, or theirs.
The follow-up advert with the woman with the fake-sounding Geordie accent is equally annoying.

I hated that ad
The bit that got me was the:

(paraphrased)

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"25 grand." - puts hand over the receiver and whispers to wife "It was 25 wasn't it?"


JESUS H CHRIST AND ALL THINGS REMOTELY HOLY! You're about to borrow 25k and pay back nearly 60! (Yes, I read the small print floating past the bottom of the screen at this point), and you haven't even discussed how much you're going to enslave yourselves for before you do it? Why not make it a round 50 and pay back 125 while you're on the phone?

I'm just saddened that there are enough people signing up with that company alone that they have enough to afford TV advertising and pay shite actors to do it with.
