The Moneysupermarket Tv Ad With Sharon Osborne

[dave50]

This advert with the bloke in shorts and the huge backside. At the end when Sharon Osborne appears, I have seen her mirrored both ways on different occasions, ie with her speaking from the left sometimes and from the right on a different occasion, if you know what I mean. Anyone know why?

[Baldric]

They're trying to find her 'good' side, no luck so far though!

[andy-hughes]

Baldric! How could you!!
I think Sharon Osborne is really sexy - seriously!!!

[Baldric]

Each to their own Andy, common as muck imo!,

[andy-hughes]

Indeed Balders, but I have always really fancied her.

Even before all the cosmetic surgery, Andy?

> Anyone know why?

Maybe to get people talking about it? ...

[andy-hughes]

hc - less so then, but now I think she is lovely.

I don't subscribe to the notion that plastic surgery gains attraction under false pretences, people make the best of themselves using the means at their disposal, be that a bit of lippy and a spraytan, or some cosmetic re-arrangement.

I think in Ms Osborne's case, the results are fine, but I have always liked the sound of her voice, and she hasn't had surgery for that. as far as I know.

I assumed the mirroring was a way of 'Britishing up' an advert filmed in LA.

When I first saw the ad Sharon was on the right and the parked cars (rears facing the viewer) were to the left of the shot, a position indicative of the cars being parked and driven on the right-hand side of the road such as in the USA. Within weeks the mirrored (British) version appeared which is the only version I have seen since.

The Teddy Bear Pomeranian she is holding is very cute!

only one person out of nine replies refer to what the questioner asked ?

People go off on tangents, and other discussions follow - that's one of the joys of the AB - 'twas ever thus.

[Ellipsis]

I count two people ... me and ABerrant.

Mine was a serious answer - an objective of most ads is to get people talking about them and watching them carefully, in order to maximise their reach and recall.

The Moneysupermarket advertisers would count this thread as a success.

What was the Question !

[Ken4155]

andy-hughes; 'Ms Osborne'? Didn't realise her and John had divorced. Or is that wishful thinking on your part, andy:-)

[andy-hughes]

No harm in wishing .... !!

[sir.prize]

Who is this woman repeatedly referred to as Sharon Osborne?

Do they mean Sharon Osbourne?

[Ken4155]

Guilty as charged - monkey see, monkey do:-/

[andy-hughes]

sir.prize - //Who is this woman repeatedly referred to as Sharon Osborne?

Doesn't matter - when I am asking Mrs Osborne if she would like to come round to my house and let me spoil her for other men, I doubt if her response will include clarification that I can spell her name correctly!!

I am hoping for something more along the lines of 'What's your address ...'!!

That's me further down the Andy queue then..... :-(
