Just watching the telly this morning and they have now received over 1000 complaints about the mouth full, singing (KFC?) advert. As much as we think children will not copy ... they do. Apparently one family wrote in to say that they actively encouraged their children to mimic the advert. How sick! Where will this sort of depravity lead to ... no doubt a tissue advert will soon show a family all picking their noses! Martin

Don't like the stupid ad where the kids use KANDOO toilet wipes, then aren't shown washing their hands afterwards. It should be an integral part of any toilet ads to show people handwashing before leaving the 'bathroom' ( to quote an americanism.)

Isn't it strange that we all moan about the fast food advert with people singing with their mouths full - but we can't remember who it's for! A message here for the ad makers? LOL Sue xx

If people are complaining about the KFC ad, saying that it will teach children to have bad manners, then they should also complain about the Peugeot ad where the little boy robs a bank for his dad. It's not the advertising companies responsibility to discipline children and teach them good manners. I think it's funny. I'm sure evryone of you have spoken with your mouth full at ONE point in your life. It certainly grabs your attention, I just don't like KFC! LOL Chloe I hate those loan ads, with the dolts of the screen going, 'we had no where else to turn to.... and we even had enough money left over to go on a holiday!' No wonder the country is in debt if we spend like that!!

Don't like diet fanta one, as well as KFC, where everyone takes a swig and then spits it out again- although not seen it too much, only a couple of times. Perhaps they don't want flack that KFC are getting. Simone x

'Have you had an accident? At work, on the road, or in a public place?' Don't like the fat cat compansation advert although it's now quite funny as you can just see the £ signs in his eyes.
