How Low Must We Sink?
Having just seen an advert for some crackers/crisp advert depicting bridesmaids shovelling them into their cgi-enlarged mouths made me wonder who more ridiculous can adverts get.
Perhaps we could have a star-studded occasion when the public judge THE most embarrassing/terrible adverts to rival the BAFTAs' occasion.

I look at sky like this bazile, if it keeps me in one night a month when otherwise I might go out then it's a bargain. In reality it keeps me in a lot more so I'm probably a grand a month up. Last month I took my sister, neice and her fiance to a restaurant, it cost 2 ton but even a normal bash we are looking at over a century so I consider sky an absolute bargain.
Speaking personally I don't take much notice of adverts; the only reason I mentioned this one is because it'd just beeen on the telly and I wrote my question soon afterwards. Adverts generally neither prompt me to buy nor make me avoid them - like the products they're promoting they're just a complete waste of money - OUR money.
Ok, my turn.
The other day I took out a young lady of my acquaintence for dinner and decided to dine 'al fresco'. We sat in extremely comfortable chairs and were shielded from the sudden squal which befell everyone else. Very comfortable, my car.
Sadly I dropped her poisson and the pomme de terre de tres vite but being a proper gentleman was able to remove most of the grit and dirt from her meal. All washed down with an extremely good vintage of Coco Cola, shared of course for added intimacy.
The whole evening cost me almost a fiver but when you've got style money's no object.

Lew - I was gonna say - " How low must we sink ? yeah it is a Harpic advert innit yeah ? "
however some surprising comments have come up....
yeah this thread is an advertisers paradise - we are discussing their copy...
and they want us to have it in our minds - we do....
The opposite is when the product becomes confused with the thing - Petrol and Hoover spring to mind - no sign of that here
The peak and point of all this is where you walk into a suermarket and look at a tin of beans and think hey there is my fren ' henry and I will buy one .... [ product identification ]
and that boys and girls is why there is a hoover called Henry
( because they think they will sell more )
and look ! Hc is exhibiting product identification over a period of thirty years of a chocco bar he associates with .... Suzy. Incredible
incredible - when someone explained it to me on a train also thirty years ago I never believed it ....[ copy writing for ads and their evils designs ]
so this thread really is an adverisers paradise -t he original advert IS about Harpic innit ?
