Awful awful awful advertising bastards

Ok so first I was confronted with the intro guitars to 'Bright Eyes' - First Day of My Life' being used to hock Halifax building society which is one giant Neil Armstrong sized leap away from using everyones favourite useless fuck 'Howard' to pub karaoke his way through a Grease hit with the words changed to reflect the benefits of a fixed price mortgage.

The very next day I heard Nick Drake being used to advertise the benefits of Vicks when it comes to not coughing into your lover's mouth when kissing?! I know sex sells but I would have thought you would draw the line somewhere before cough medicine...

And now this abomination gets piped into my living room earlier this evening:



Firstly there is the strap line of 'The one that comes with a bag' which pops up in the print at the bottom of the screen just before 'No men were harmed in the making of this advert', are they referring to the bag in the box or to the portly agressive cow who thrusts the product at her uselss man? Who incidentally looks like he may well have been drinking the stuff in the bag as he is made to act like he spends the majority of his time licking windows and playing with stickle bricks.

This kind of trash demeans everyone, male and female young and old... The most upsetting thing about this advert is that in the times of rising unemployment there are some smug, talentless but employed pricks who have actually been paid to produce this steaming 30 second video turd doubtless spending hours whacking off into their iphones while streaming it repeatedly on youtube.

In the immortal words of Bill Hicks: "Kill yourselves, seriously, you are the ruiner of all things good"
