Pish Adverts


Recommended Posts

I saw an advert on daytime tv for one of these payday loan companies.

A waitress was told by her boss that she couldn't be given overtime she had previously been promised. She thought to herself 'it's not fair, it's not my fault I had the 'flu last week, how am I going to survive' before the payday loan company comes in to save the day.

So much angers me about that advert, firstly it represents something horrid in our society in which this poor person apparently doesn't get sick pay, and has to rely on overtime to get by (I can only assume she is on a zero hours contract) and that one of these leaching companies is painting itself as the solution.

Just filled me with absolute rage.

That travel lodge ad brings out the worst in me.

Fucking foaming.

It is shit. I suffered the misfortune of being taken to that musical with puppets (Avenue Q?) and it was shite. Travelodge with their cheap nasty beds are also shite. A marriage made in hell.

The Tesco advert where the guy barters with the woman at the till.

Utterly horrific to the point of embarrassing.

There's a new one where someone opens a till to serve that family of shithouses when they're in a queue and you get an internal monologue of them all thinking they're important. Awful.
