The worst adverts are the ones for Picture Loans. Every time they are on, I always hope it rains when the bloke watches the football and that woman whose kids can't find anything, I always wish she'd trip up over the kid's scooter not her husband. These ads are on too many times in the day, and are rather annoying.

the adverts where there is young women advertising creams with magic potions telling women that if you use it you wont get wrinkles, or the hair and perfume ones, they should get real.
I wonder if they think women are stupid, they certainly are not.

I don't know that one Joanne, but it makes me think of the Insurance claim ones where the victim re-does the stupid thing that got them into hospital in the first place " I was walking through the entrance when I slipped on some wet floor" Well don't do it again silly!! lol

All adverts with computer generated "MUSIC" (?) drowning out everything that is said. :

DAT DAT DAT ziz ziz DAT DAT DAT ziziz sss bangbangbang DAT DAT DAT !!!!!

Things are so bad now that we zap the mute button as soon as ads begin and don't turn sound on again until the programe restarts.
The company bosses who produce this rubbish should realise that this type of ad is actually counter productive because many of us now watch no ads at all.
