Has anyone noticed that, recently, adverts (or commercials, whatever) now basically shout and scream at you in an attempt to grab your attention? I know the American stereotype is the used car salesman yelling about how crazy his deals are, which is something we certainly never had.

But it seems now, with Sky+/Tivo where we skip through adverts, they now seem to want to be as irritating and annoying as possible just to get noticed. Take a listen to this travesty, and consider the same guy, with the same song, has appeared in commercials for about two years. So he's on TV about twenty five times a DAY.

Yeah.

And if that didn't make you want to throw rocks at the screen, how about this one?

Fuuuuuck.

When did this happen? You know, if something annoys me, like those ads do, it just makes me NOT want to buy their products. People will say, "yeah, but you get to know the name of the company etc." Yeah, and I know I want that company to fail.

And before I sign off, be prepared to feel pure, animal rage at this one.

But on the upside, he didn't go unpunished..

Hey! The prim and proper spokesperson totally got down to the phat beat! AWESOOOOOOME!!!!!!!!!!! No seriously, are you sure that wasn't a parody because good god that was stupid. I'll take the "go compaaaaaaaaaaare" guy over that all day.

That article made me laugh until I cried. I'm not sure which is funnier, that that Frosties (those are called Frosted Flakes over here) kid received so much hate or that he took it to heart. And that they used that homotastic gymnast pic made it even funnier. Can't that fool tell the difference between having a laugh with overstated displays of keyboard aggression and a literal death threat?

Shoutbox

Welcome to the Fortress of Solitude. Speak your mind.

Ben: WHY DID THAT PERSON STOP CHATTING LOTS??? Apr 16, 2013 6:10:08 GMT 2

trashcanman: One post hardly qualifies as chatting lots on any day. I am disappoint. Apr 21, 2013 7:01:11 GMT 2

lol :): lol

Ben: This most recent "shout" is confusing the hell out of me. Is the user name "lol" with a space, and then the first colon signifies the comment is "): lol w/emoticon?" OR is the user name "lol

" and the comment is just "lol w/emoticon?" I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! May 9, 2013 20:19:25 GMT 2

Ben: It appears the shoutbox knows all. By turning my smiley into an emoticon it has answered my question. May 9, 2013 20:20:30 GMT 2

The Curmudgeon: It's obviously racist. May 10, 2013 15:37:50 GMT 2
