    New advert for Barnados. ...its bloody awful.

    Main actress wouldn't getva look in on Fair City, she's that bad.

    And the child is wearing one of those p*ssy hats from the women's march.
    Woeful.

    that will be a channel switcher, awful, awful message

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Did I...did I just see an ad for gluten-free shampoo?

    Possibly. I have seen German ads for shampoo containing caffeine.
    Obviously it's a (caffeine) shampoo aimed at people who permanently have one of those paper coffee (yuk!) cups in their hand. You know, the ones that have emerged to fill the vacuum created by smoking bans, in order to make sure our air still stinks.

    Seriously, I'm not so sure if coeliac condition extends to external contact such as scalp. The gluten free shampoo may be about something like that if it does. But caffeine in shampoo, that one seems like snake oil to me.

    Caffine supposedly promotes hair growth.

    Gluten-Free shampoo is just bizzare, is it a known brand?

    Mayo Clinic says coeliacs would not be affected by gluten in shampoo or cosmetics unless they eat them, as gluten is not absorbed through skin.
    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/celiac-disease/expert-answers/celiac-disease/faq-20057879

    So the gluten free shampoo sounds kinda faddy too.

    I don't know which brand the ad seen by Lemonposset featured, but Google search throws up brands by iHerb and Sam McCauleys.

    I found it, it's for Herbal Essences Bio-Renew. I don't think it's aimed at coeliacs at all, I think it's aimed at people who like 'clean eating', presumably so they can practice clean cleaning

    The Volkswagen ad for the rugby is stupid. If I was a buyer and I was going in with no one around they would not see me again

    I'm a member of a few coeliac groups on Facebook, and they're all having a right laugh at this ad. It's aimed at daft people who don't know any better.

    Was thinking that may be the case. But as I knew it's related to the immune system, and have no personal experience of the condition, I was only about 95% confident that it was totally silly.
    Thanks for confirming.

    Reminds me of that bottled water that 'contains oxygen' from a few years back.

    Never mind all that 'oxygen' dissipates once the bottle opens, and that the stomach doesn't absorb oxygen.

    New Fish Fingers advert has me confused.
    Capt Birdseye is now younger, and has a grandkid. But we never saw his wife, or kids before...and now he has grandkids.
    huh?

    Just saw it there. What a ridiculous way to try and highlight how well your team works.

    I still dont understand how people are paid to come up with these ideas

    That Guinness ad with the gay rugby player telling his story.

    No problem with a gay rugby player overcoming demons but it's an ad for ****ing Guinness.
    Hate that ad

    I honestly thought we had gone past the age of "dubbed over" adverts, that was until I saw that ad for Joom, where the two women are "talking" to each other about their dresses.

    It's so ridiculous it's almost funny.

    When the adverts are dubbed with an Irish accent. it's f**king pathetic!!

    Either we make our own or leave them be.

    That one for the painkiller where it's so obvious as the ambient noise stops as bogger says he has no time for a headache - gets on my t**s!!!!!

    "I never even knew Oral B made a toottthh-ppp-hhh-aste"

    Why does that annoy me so much??
    Is it because that isn't even funny,or is it because that Oral B have been making toothpaste for as long as I can remember?

    There’s an ad for Pedigree “Dentastix” as well that is really badly dubbed, although the demeanour of the girl in the ad is much less annoying than the ones in the Joom ads.

    Also hate that painkiller advert. I’m sure headaches plan out their occurrence around whether some hipster working in a kitchen has time for them.

    Those Actimel ads are annoying me, latest one with the guy whose outdoor clothes fly onto him, fluffy hat and red jacket, ***ker.

    Thankfully the TUI ads have let up a bit but the Mace ad with the demented dancing and emoji heads has increased in frequency.:mad:

    The Cow & Gate ad with the stripped-back recording of "Higher Love" has returned.

    Que sera sera...
