Some government campaign running at the moment
telling me that excessive alcohol is bad for me. Well roger me senseless with a radish. I love my taxes paying to either patronise people who already know and don't care, or don't know and probably don't care.

The government has the UK largest advertising spend

You'll also notice that more and more ad will come out over the next month or so as departments ensure that they use up every penny of their budget so as not to have them reduced next year, even though by using them up facetiously they have proved that they do not need such a high budget anyway...

I think the advert with the kids talking about alcohol
is really good. I think it's pitched really well without being patronising.

They're a damn sight better than the 'Frank' weed one
that bloke's laughing is the worst acting I've ever seen outside Grange Hill.

On the subject of bad laughing,
Lou from Neighbours wins. Like a very bad impression of Sid James.

It's not half bad
Next time you see the weed one, you'll see what I mean about the fake laughing though. I don't think the Baftas will be troubling that fellow in the near future...

*clenches fists and grits teeth*
That's the one. If someone crashed through my door laughing like that I'd stave their fucking face in with a shovel.

He certainly is the mostest "I'm pretending to be out of it"

I don't like that one
They're making it harder for me to leverage my being-over-18 skillz to get kids to, you know, do stuff for alcopops.

Have you seen that seatbelt ad from Suffolk
Or possibly Sussex that has the internets oohing and aahing? That's good.

The texting-while-driving one freaked me out considerably.

Is that the one that's a short film
with the girl texting while driving and crashing and killing a baby?
