    The Vodafone space ad is driving me mad like no other. I thought that their previous add with the kids singing was hell, but they've outdone themselves. I just flicked through a few channels and it was on on two different channels within about a minute of each other.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    Hey I recognise that sound, it's a weirdo in the laundrette three floors down washing a single runner for some reason. Quickly fellow attractive young woman, grab a couple of sunhats and a bottle of bubbles, perhaps we can get there before the limbo contest. There ain't no party like a nescafe azeera single runner in a washing machine party.
    Asshats.

    That Virgin Yeti ad would be vastly improved by him going on a rampage ripping hipsters heads off instead of posing for selflies and having cosy chats with them.

    Oh For sure. There is a name for them I forget but there are tech groups hired by companies to monitor what is being said about them online. McDonalds for instance, they use programs to check everywhere online where McDonalds is mentioned, is something positive or negative said about them. The techies send a summary of the feedback to the companies regularly.
    It is becoming a big business.

    Yeah, case in point-the Kendall Jenner pepsi advert.

    The advert debuted online, and within hours was one of the most reviled adverts of our time.

    Pepsi immediately pulled it.

    That Aviva ad with the fella thinking his watch has been robbed after a break-in is back doing the rounds again.

    I would feel bereft too if I discovered my OH was wearing the watch my late father bequethed to me as well without my knowing. It wasn't hers to wear willy-nilly. Couture me hole. The bitch.

    Social Media Ad .... Renault

    I thought initially they were Rubgy but they are GAA. The guy doing the impressions seems to have made a living from it also!

    I wouldn't say I "despise" them exactly but those "RAF... sponsors high flying entertainment on Four" ads on Channel 4 strike me as deeply bizarre.

    That ad bugged me too, I think I posted about it before.
    I presume the reason he is happy about her wearing it is that, as a result, it didn't get stolen when the place was ransacked. I still don't like the idea though of someone wearing something sentimental belonging to another person, without the owner's permission.

    Habito and their graphically violent ads. There is a new one where a man has his arms and legs eaten by pirahna fish.
    Todays children will one day be on the 'what scared you as a child' thread talking about these ads.

    Yes, I saw it as I fast forwarded through something I recorded last night. Couldn't get past it quick enough.

    Youtube have a thumbs up or down button for their ads. I take great pleasure in giving them all thumbs down while I wait to skip them.

    Between the electric Ireland ad with the astronaut in it and the Vodafone Starfleet ad, what is it with Irish companies and space?

    Why I strongly disagree and do indeed beg to differ! McDonalds' breakfasts should be the cornerstone of all an Irishman's breakfast!*

    *please send free breakfast

    After reading the comment about the 'aww yeah' music at the beginning of the Ford ads - I never noticed it until now and yes, it's horrific.

    You'd think when she looked in the stars and saw a pot, she'd go in the kitchen and cook dinner, truthfully.

    I'm on the fence here. I will need to keep sampling the hashbrowns and coffee to decide. Please send free breakfast, McDonalds. In return, I will eventually give my expert opinion as a fried food and coffee reviewer.

    There's some liquid detergent ad on at the moment with a bunch of American hipsters singing about how to use it. Jesus, it doesn't half grate on my nerves.

    For no reason at all, I always got the impression they were siblings.
