Even more adverts you despise

That musical TK Maxx abomination is back

Everything on Irish tv. Having moved here from the north, you don’t see the same ad 7-8 times a night.

Honest to god, is that all they have? Virgin media, RTE etc bludgeon to death the same ads for weeks on end. Same goes with the radio stations.

It's relentless. I actually boycott most the products being advertised as I associate them with being annoyed.

The Paddy Power ad was amusing the first couple of times but now that it's on every single ad break Colm Meaney's head is becoming more and more punchable!

Why do meat eaters get so angry about vegetarians? Most vegetarians don't eat meat because they don't like the idea of killing animals not because they don't like the taste of meat, what's to be angry about at that? As for saying she hadn't eaten meat for years that's a valid thing that happened to me once when I was tucking into potato salad only to find myself chewing bacon. That might sound trivial to you but it's upsetting when you are very careful not to eat meat and meat products only to find yourself eating meat. Most vegetarians don't go around criticising meat eaters but the venom from the opposite side is shocking.


Want to know why people don't eat meat, then go to an abbatoir or take a look online at the leaked footage of what happens to animals in abattoirs or read about the live cattle being shipped from Ireland to Libya. The boats can be smelled before they can be seen, the cattle are up to their knees in sh*t, some fall and have broken limbs. They are shipped for Halal slaughter which means they are strung up by a back leg and have their veins slashed before their throats are cut, both these things usually have to be repeated because the people doing it botch it.

Precisely because of preaching ****e like that.

He's gone way down in my estimation, advertising PP, money grabbing purveyors of false hope and misery.

neris

Not really an ad but during the 2 rugby matches on saturday on virgin the constant "join us tomorrow for the ireland game". they must think people are thick that they didnt know the game was on sunday and that only 1 irish station shows it

I don’t gamble myself but I don’t think everyone that uses Paddy Power is miserable. Meaney isn’t forcing people to place bets they don’t want to.

Bookie shops are black holes on the streetscape and take more than they give back.

So you don't like the reality of where your meat comes from or what happens to animals sent abroad from this country. Well aren't you just so cool and edgy.

Whats the one with the hideous rap version of King Crimsons 21st Century Schizoid Man?

I'm not sure tbh. They had some peculiar ad recently with someone smashing a kitchen or something. Awful stuff.

And that insurance ad where the guy thinks his dad's watch has been stolen. But, no, wait his partner/ wife is wearing it. :rolleyes:

All ads with Dermot Bannon are irritating. Mute button.

Funny, you seem to be trying very hard to make an issue of it. I don't care if you eat meat or not. I don't, it's not something I usually make an issue of but when some posters start getting arsey and ranting about what vegetarians eat then I will point out the double standard that there are far more people who eat meat who bitch and obsess about what vegetarians eat than the other way around.

the purple tin

The one where yer man has gone on hols and left his large collection of expensive watches at home, he left his favourite one out in full view on the bedside locker so the robbers can't miss it.

Not really. You’re the one went on the little rant about where meat comes from. You could just not eat meat and get on with your life instead of throwing tantrums.

Anyway, use the ignore function. Ads.....

I hate seeing him on anything. The Celtic tiger in its human form. The fake home assistant is brutal too.

You should try reading posts properly before you post, you'll end up with less egg on your face that way.

Jesus stfu about meat and get back to ads.

the purple tin

I thought it had gone away but it's back; the little girl giving a lecture to her dollies about the human brain.

I see they changed the lyrics of the kids song about talking to someone so it didn’t sound like they were singing “that’s a head ****” any more.

The one with the talking dog. I think the ad is for insurance. And it's on radio and tv a lot.

Apparently a lot of child therapists complained. Not joking.

Vogue Williams is in an advert for those liquitabs...

She's annoying, then the camera does and EXtreme Close up on her face (seriously, even Sergio Leone would tell the camera man to pull back).

It's terrifying- I keep thinking her huge mouth is gonna bite my head off.

Cant stand that ad, not only that Vogue is in it but also her patronising mommy advice about putting the liquid tabs away from little baby Theodore. Eh Vogue I think people already know this sh1t.

Any ad that uses the word "passion".

Get off the feckin' stage.

Whestsidestory

Caught the last few seconds of a car ad last night..citreon maybe and a guy had parked up the car and was taking a pee at the side of the road!

"The biggest silence I hear on Aranmore is the sound of children."

What ? Makes no kind of sense as a statement whatsoever.
