    I have to say those ads during the football breaks are nauseating..

    Beer promoted by rich footballers who never drink beer.
    Gambling promotions for Paddy Power, when gambling serves no absolutely no positive purpose in society.
    Fast food promoted when rich footballers would never eat the same food.
    UEFA ads calling for fair play, when football is so hugely corrupt.

    And this is from RTE, who constantly lecture us on the ills of alcohol, gambling and eating sugar. Honestly, I feel dirty after watching them.

    The Weetabix ad, I don't know why, but it annoys the hell out of me.

    What they really lecture us is on the importance of paying money for alcohol and filling government coffers to do whatever the hell they like with it. :P Spunk it on a white elephant project

    As for footballers not drinking beer, well perhaps not the modern day footballer certainly or not that we know of and same with Mickey D's. I remember one footballer took his kid for a burger years ago and the red tops were all over it and it was probably just a father/son bonding session. The UEFA thing i also agree with. Their president Platini has been banned from football for years.

    First a coffee ad robs the music from Up then this ad robs the plot.

    I like that one, don't know what it has to do with ikea, I think the chair used to be her husband's or something like that. No good in terms of actually showing what it is but I like the music

    That one for the euro's. The car is just driving around the place and everyone it passes suddenly switches into their countries jerseys and wave their flags and starts roaring or over smiling

    If I hear another ad for Lionel Ritchie on the radio.

    Expect the device to become airborne thru the window.

    Unbelievable.

    Lazy McDonald's getting that breathy Irish gimp to v/o their patronising UK "summer" advert. A banal list of shíte that apparently all Irish (actually English) people do when a bit o' sun hits their pasty faces. Of course the last on the list is to eat some deep-fried horsemeat from Micky D's.

    Choice line that has my piss boiled

    "and everyone's doing the bee dance".

    No Ronald, they're not. Some of us are inside on the internet, hating everything.
