Has anyone seen this site http://tvs-worst-adverts.co.uk/ a good one to visit when bored. It even has the totally out of tune Duffy Diet Coke ad on.

My current gripe is the 'Credit Expert' advert, which is actually for Experian. If I were Martin 'money saving expert' Lewis I'd think about lodging a complaint.

Also that hideous Just For Men advert with the girl helping her dad pick a tie, how cheesy can it get?

Reply #54 - Feb 28^th, 2010 at 1:09am I'm not too happy with the Ctrën advert which uses old footage of John Lennon with a newly dubbed, albeit poorly lipsynched, exaggerated scouse impersonation. In fact, I'm not in favour of any manipulation of images of dead celebrities to sell "product". Just because it's technically feasible doesn't make it right.

Oh, yes... but isn't it ironic that Swiftcover had to do a policy u-turn and declare that they WILL now cover musicians!?

Their previous argument was that Iggy Pop was an "actor" and therefore covered!

Oh, bother!

Reply #57 - Mar 18^th, 2010 at 8:39pm I would just like to admit that for some bizarre reason, I find the Webuyanycar.com advert slightly less annoying now it has the silly dancing in it than I did when it was just the cartoon cars driving past. Confession is good for the soul!

Reply #59 - Jul 25^th, 2010 at 10:17am The horrible Vimto advert with the fruit on the waltzer. There's something really sinister about having lecherous fruit - "oooh, pre-tty lady!" Martine McCutcheon and her Tummy Loving Care is starting to get on my nerves now.
