Most annoying ads

I know someone who absolutely cannot STAND the girl on the SGIC ads (Carla) - the words "smug" and "stupid" come up a lot ("Why would someone buy a manual when they can't drive it??"). Are they the only ones who find her annoying?

What others get you switching over?

The radio ads for some funeral home that talks in a breathless voice with calming acoustic music about "then one day it (life) gently releases it's hold and we are gone".Try suggesting to someone dying in agony that it's just life gently loosening it's grip.

I like the Johhny Walker commercial with that great tune
" Dont tell me about the clothes I wear."
And we see invisible people wearing clothes.

Have to agree with you there Punky.

Anyway - I'd reckon if he was in black and yellow he shouldn't really have that much to yell about. More reason to shut up and not be an annoying git.

You keep going on & on about the latest bee in your bonnet 'TRADE UNIONS' :?
If you've been watching the news or actually have some sort of clue during recent AMWU meetings
you would've noticed all the crap surrounding Radio Rentals & their blatant abuse of the new I.R. Laws.
Leading to strikes & picket lines of sparkies out the front of the Prospect Store due to unfair dismissals etc.
It took a while but our members with support from the local community eventually won that battle.
But the bottom line is
Radio Rentals (Black & Yellow or not)... Screw the evil pricks! :finga:

During a commercial the old man sat down and asked his wife
" Whats on the TV tonight dear?"
" Dust."

Those over 50s commercials are AWFUL.
