    The Back to School bundle ad by Bord Gais was on just now. It's the 30th July. Just fcuk right off!

    used to hate that when I was little, just only broke up from school for summer holliers and there were bleeding back to school ads on TV !

    Not mainly on tv but have seen a couple, those bloody game of war ads (and total war ads I think). Where they have the COMPLETELY realistic game thing, where it's like entering a room with someone and your diving for cover and the upgraded graphics while the thing that's happening in the trailer never happens in game, and they never mention all the special gems you probably have to buy

    They normally have not actual game footage written at the bottom of the screen.

    Just witnessed a new Cosadyl ad. Beautiful woman wakes up in bed and unexpectedly starts to spit out all her teeth into her hand. Then relief, it's only a terrible scary dream. Relieved beautiful woman walks into bathroom to reveal, she is missing a tooth! Then the voice-over says something like, how reality can be scarier than nightmares in a vaguely threatening manner.

    The company who came up with "for people who spit blood when they brush their teeth" as a company slogan have teamed up with the producers of A Nightmare on Elm Street.

    what could go wrong?

    The Always Ultra advert about girls in sport.

    50% of girls give up sport when they hit puberty.

    The insinuation is that someone is forcing them to give up sport (possibly the 'Patriarchy').

    If girls want to play sport, nobody is stopping them.

    I agree. That advert is a horror show. Might even work!

    the Chivers Jelly advert where the kid comes in and says "can I have this?" (meaning the ipad) ... whatever happened to manners and the extra word "please"

    Watch out for the continuity error, she puts down the ipad face down and in the next frame its face up for the rest of the advert.

    and the father in the other ad "has anyone seen my keys? .... anyone??" - again the word 'please' missing ... he looks a right ignorant git anyway

    Them two kids in the new Milky Way ad playing with the balloons. Particularly the boy. Looks like the kind of annoying chap you'd see be a pain in the hole in public.

    Saw that, they're both having fun messing with balloons and then the mom grabs the boys one and tosses him a packet, then steals some back?
