    I get more of a 'how do you do, fellow kids' vibe off the ould fella in that Eir ad.

    Well, their hardly teens-the mam and dad would be there 'frowning' if they were there.
    Seems more like young adults.

    I don't get the Saville about him-he just likes music. Unfortunately, it's Eir-and they're abominable, so I couldn't imagine anyone getting any wi-fi on their network.

    The Vodafone ad, the Lucozade advert, and the Dunnes one with the 'kids'. All terrible. The dunnes advert suffers trying to be Saccharine and sweet, but botches it with some bad acting. (Most of the kids are good tho) and the music being way too over the top..

    Yeah, so if someone can send all those ridiculous perfume ads to the rotten, putrid and festering bowels of hell for all eternity, I would be forever grateful. I'm afraid I've already had quite my fill of obnoxiously smarmy idiots parading around in open shirts with blank simpleton expressions on their faces and smooching the lips of each other while I swallow the urge to smash several objects through the television. Honest to God, despise is not a strong enough word to describe how I feel about them.

    Rapeseed oil is the tool of the devil. I've seen some places starting to cook with it instead of vegetable oil-and it has a nasty, distinct taste off of it.
    I don't care if it's supposedly healthier, it tastes like crap.

    Like if someone offered to cook you a fry-up, then took out the bottle of 1 percent 'I don't know what that emulsiony stuff is' and started cooking.
    It's a crime.

    Rapeseed oil is perfectly fine.

    No, I mean rapeseed oil. There's a few takeaways I know that have started using it, for everything (french fries, chicken, onion rings etc) and it tastes horrible.
    It's like the oil soaks into those things. Horrible.

    There an ad for olive oil on at moment can't remember the brand but it has a caption that says 1867 then shows a bunch of extras dressed in 1930s type clothes like something from peaky blinders.

    BTW. Lucozade is horrible, can feel your teeth melting when drinking it.

    The bit where the Asian lad says 'what about a sling?' and there's a really overacted 'a sling?' bit. That used to be him saying 'what about a sling?' back to the Asian lad in a mocking voice.

    I don’t get that Samsung one. More than half of the ad is all about daughter or whatever getting the phone and using it in Asia or wherever she is, grand and all but then it changes to random man in the Antarctic somewhere. No connection at all between them. Unless there’s a longer version about. It’s badly edited or something.

    Why was it changed? Were there complaints about it being racist re the Asian guy?

    There wasn't any racism in it. Only thing I can think of is the mocking tone (normal mimicking rather than anything Asian) set off a few complaints.
