Couperman Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I was pleased to hear today that the annoying Picture loan advert with the Geordie irratant woman has been banned by the Advertising Standards Agency Apperantly for suggested people borrow £25k on a willy nilly everyday kind of basis. I would have banned it just for it's annoyance factor. Well done the ASA and the six who complained! Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Those adverts drive me nuts. A personal bugbear was the one where people would get a "consildation" loan and still have money left over to buy more stuff. At the end of the advert the bloke was mowing a postage stamp lawn on a ride on mower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Oh thank goodness! That advert drives me scatty! It's not the only advert though........ . Talking of adverts, have you seen the latest Sony Bravia one with the rabbits? Now that's an advert I could watch all day every day without it grating on my nerves! It's even got the Rolling Stones as a soundtrack! What more could you want . Quite delightful - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Oh yeah, I remember that one... kept thinking he'd have to buy a second house just to fit his lawn mower in... that was a very irritating ad, and I am not the kind of person who gets easily irritated!! OOOOh... just looked at the bunny one... that is cute... I want bunnies like that... they even kind of match the rablu colours!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Kate that is just fab! I love the bit where the whales tail turns into the bunny ears - so cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to set out to annoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 The bloke who made the rabbit advert also made: The Cadbury Gorilla The Bouncing Balls Advert, and The one with the explosions of colour over the tower block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That figures because they're all watchable adverts . He should do ALL the adverts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 The bloke who made the rabbit advert also made: The Cadbury Gorilla The Bouncing Balls Advert, and The one with the explosions of colour over the tower block. And they were all real too, no CGI. Well it wasn't a real Gorilla obviously, but you know what I mean The bunnies are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 And they were all real too, no CGI.Well it wasn't a real Gorilla obviously, but you know what I mean What? The gorilla wasn't real???

Karen & co. Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think I'm turning into my grandmother here never mind my mother. I think the ad for the loan, where she is having a conversation with the loan company, and also with the rude child that keeps interupting her when theoretically she is discussing something rather important, it just gives the wrong message, that it's a good idea to interupt adults Sorry to sound so Victorian karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 cant stand scuuuta woman. or her male alternative, who discusses football with loan arranger. saw gorilla on drums for the 1st time today and loved it. anyone else drooling over gorgeous aero bloke??? (I am drooling so much I have started a diff thread!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 cant stand scuuuta woman. or her male alternative, who discusses football with loan arranger. That's the bloke I was meaning. Smug twit! The way he mouths "twenty five?" in an enquiring way to his OH. As if anyone doing something as momentous as taking out a £25K loan would not be absolutely sure of all their figures before making the phone call. Whoever complained was right to do so, they make going into massive debt seem an everyday occurrence, like hanging washing out, and even suggest that taking a massive loan will solve all your problems!

chickencam Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I agree with the comment about the interupting child. Had you noticed that she answers all the childs shouted questions but when her Husband tried to ask her something she shushed him saying she was on the phone. Such a bad example to children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 ...have you seen the latest Sony Bravia one with the rabbits? I hadn't seen that one Kate. It's brilliant isn't it? It reminds of a program I watch with Stefan, really clever animation with plasticine. See it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
