My god. Every time that Vauxhall Zafira ad comes on with those two stupid fat English kids pretending they're all grown up + talking shíte in general, I just have to scramble around looking for the remote to turn the tv off or hit mute or something.

That stupid coco pops advert with the animated dancing milkmen. Yeah, the ones with the sticks jigging like twats.

Also, the Wrigleys advert with the guy who walks like hes got a stick up his arse with the little onions and stuff following him around.

All these Bulmers ads with the village idiots working in ye olde brewery need to die now, something really smug and irritating about them.

Awful, awful ads. It's the falseness of them, plus the Frodo shire type music irritates me no end.

Speaking of music in ads, the Discover Ireland ones always has me reaching for the remote.

It is an EU ad.

Look at the Car accident ads, you notice that on UTV they have NI accents and NI regs and then on the RTÉ ads they have ROI accents and ROI regs. On Dunnes Stores ads the VO artists puts on an NI accent for UTV

Yeah I started a thread about this about six months ago.. Seems like there is nobody left any more who stands for anything, or has principles... He criticised them and was then bought off...

Anybody know how much he would have been paid for his promotional work?
(At least 30 pieces of silver I would have thought)
