1183194 2011-03-03 09:51:00 Have you noticed any bad ads on tv lately?

I saw a really bad one that made no sense, the advert was trying to sell tampons, most of these ads are on subject, but why the eff did they use this song (www.youtube.com)?????? It has abosultely nothing to do with what the company is selling. I've seen this particular ad on tv quite alot. I can't remember the company.

1183195 2011-03-03 09:54:00 stop with the songs, its ****ing irritating GameJunkie (72)
1183196 2011-03-03 10:05:00 We mute the ads, get up & walk off, end up doing something & forgetting about the program. We now record anything we want to watch on a pc. We use vlc to watch the recording & its easy to flick through the ads & watch the 15 minute program that took 1/2 an hour to record Phil B (648)

I don't like the rude comments you are directing towards me. I have not ever made such rude comments towards you. if you do not like my posts, then please move away and ignore them.

As a Kiwi i have a human right to free speech, and i am going to use that right.

Also, i barely even post links to music anymore, i ocasionally post somthing in my music thread when i've found a song i really enjoy, but apart from that, i barely post anything in that thread.

You don't seem to complain about BillyT's monday Laughs threads, which are freakin hillarious :). And yet they appear every week. So whats wrong with me ocasionally posting a link to a song on my thread? If you don't like it, don't look at it.

If the title of my music thread annoys you, then ask the moderators to shorted it so it's less annoying, i'm more that fine with that.

But i am not, and i mean i am not going to stop doing something i enjoy, just because you don't like it.

Getting back on topic, i haven't actually seen a decent advert is quite a few years.

1183198 2011-03-03 10:25:00 The best ad was the kiwi bacon ad with the frying pan going out the window. The worst ones are the diy jobs. John the plumber doing his own ads or whatever.
Why do they always get a skinny good looking bint doing the make up ads? Whats the matter with a 16 stone warthog lolol

TV, with or without ads is almost entirely crap.

My stereo is always crankin, but i use expensive headphones so i can still get good sound, but not have to disrupt people.

My tv is more or less background noise, though i do watch tv late at night to catch re-runs of Ren & Stimpy on Nickelodeon, as they refuse to show it during the day, as they deem the cartoon too violent. Cartoons from the early 90s rock.

My speakers are huge, my amp is powerful, The volume is shaking the foundations, and the music is sweet sweet Heavy ****ing Metal.

My beer is cold.

Nothing round here to get disrupted apart from some sheep and a trillion bugs.

My amp is powerfull too, and i've played heavy metal through it on my speakers before, my whole room was shaking.

Plus most people who live round us are old people. Although my music collection is old, i prefer to be nice and use headphones, but when my parents are out, the speakers get cranked right up.
