Rant: Adverts that really annoy me
A couple of TV adverts really really annoy me, such as:
UK Advert for the RAC Reason: They have hacked the song "You've got a friend". Who ever mixed the music doesn't know a hatchet from a crotchet. And, it shows hundreds of RAC patrol men heading towards a car, not one of them has a tool box with them  UK Advert for razors Reason: The audio is in English but the actors are obviously talking another language, the lip syncing is way out  They say "Did you feel it?" "No, I didn't feel a thing", the actors could actually be saying "Aaagh I've got razor burn". I cant even remember the manufacturer  So do any adverts tick you off? Tell us which ones and why | ||||||||

Cameron loves the hastings direct advert lol
The one that i really cant stand is the loan advert picture.. Who in their right mind would phone up and try to get a loan for 25 grand and still have a conversation with the family at the same time, and she comfirms it with hubby whilst still on the phone, that should have all been sorted before phoning...."Josh ya dads found ya scooter" GRRRRRRRRRRR that ad irritates me so much lol... | ||||||||

I know the advert you mean, and in the other ad for the same company the bloke asks his Mrs how much they want to borrow.. don't you think they would have discussed that BEFORE you rang up??
Also, have you seen the repayment amount? Borrow £20,000 and pay back £48,000..... rip off!! MadCat | ||||||||

Madcat u have just reminded me of another ad with the same company...
They are next door neighbours and the neighbour is at home getting ready for a footie match and is talking about how much everything is, They both come out of their doors and this bloke says phone picture, how the hell does he know what he is talking about when they have only just met up. I agree the repayments are crazy | ||||||||
