Those frigging perfume adverts.
In the run up to Christmas, on the telly there seesm to be a contract that ITV has entered into..
Lets have every other advert as a Hugo Boss, J-Lo, Cristian Dior or Calvin Klein perfume.
What a F*cking great idea!
ARGH!
They all seem to follow EXACTLY the same story line as well:
Close up shot of something, dumb ass music, fade in picture of bottle, say name of perfume followed by the maker, end.
Thats it. EVERY time
Has anyone else noticed this or have i just been watching far too much tv?

Too much TV. Have kids and vegetate watching their videos and become word perfect on Princess Bride, The Wiggles and Shrek.

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

I am sure that I turned down the guy in the Hugo Boss ad. when I was at uni.
But I cant really remember for sure as it was all just a drunken haze.

Purfume is practically illegal in my province! See, if you wear it, and the person next to you is allergic to it (as every other person seems to be) their throat will close up, and they will die...
Hey, I wonder if that'd be counted as murder... O.o'

play the advert game!
we do it at school
basicaly u have to guess as soon as possible what the ad is. ads with the title of the purveyor in the opening shot dont count. then u learn to love the adverts.
we actually end up surfing for ads...

Right where shall I start...
Buses in London - especially the No8 I flagged down after spinning tonite which didnt stop grrrr
Tubes - they smell are late and are crap
Banks - why are they such ignorameuses?
The NHS - not due to lack of service but cos I work for them and they are so wankified and anally retentive it is beyond belief
People putting Christmas decorations up in bloody October and September(namely Woolworths, Tescos, Sainsburys and Wetherspoons) - do they have no idea of the Christian Calendar????
Hmmm that'll do for now...if I think of any others I'll repost
Hugs!

Those perfume ads in magazines are worse. At least on TV they can't actually make you smell it, while nowdays I can't read a trash mag without those impregnated cardboard things making me sneeze.

The perfume ads are crap but at least you get a giggle at how dreadful they are and get to see wallop loads of naked fit flesh at the same time.
Far more annoying are those Curry Ads - the television is saturated with that dreadful Linda Barker person - get off my screen you silly woman - off!
