Default Daft Advertisments.

I generally detest and avoid advertisments as best I can, but we are bombarded by them every where we look or go.

I do see some and wonder at the daftness, or unreallness that they show.

For example, who goes to a bed that has no bedclothes on it?

Or do you really get excited when you phone up for a car insurance quote?

What would you like to add?

OK - just saw some stupid advert where a bloke had a big balloon strapped to his back, top of building and all of a sudden ..... Braveheart (big speech) with a hoard of scottish kilted armed 'what-evers'.
Then balloon guy does a jump of the building and whooshes (deflates) propelling him onto another building ...... partially dressed females sun-bathing.

What was that about .... ummmm .... think it was a Pepsi advert!!!!!

For me, it's got to be the Halifax adverts. Amateur covers of pop songs slightly amended to sell a product...

Also, the Iceland adverts. £1 for a box of manufactured rubbish passing itself off as food fit for human consumption. No thanks.
