norton finance!

Has anybody noticed that in the ad for Norton Finance (apart from the fact that its sooooo corny!) the people who stand at the front of the camera are getting p****d wet through with the 'rain' but the people milling about in the background are perfectly dry??? as for 'Gareth' and 'Kimberly' who are 'there to help you' .............Jesus, unless its just me who needs to get out more, by the way you'll only know what i'm talking about if youve seen the ad.
Now dont get me started on the advert for bloody Picture Loans................................................. : )

I agree, but the one that really annoys me is the Carol Vorderman one (First choice I think). It annoys me because it plays on her integrity and popularity, and some people might actually believe these are her views. Maybe they are, I don't know, but I personally think she ought to be ashamed of herself for endorsing such a product.

yeah thing is about Ms vorderman is cos she is sooo good at maths.......... anything thats got facts and figures with it MUST be logical. as far as i'm concerned 'countdown' would be better without her and her inane laughter, i just think she on tv wayyyy too much, might just sound like a bitchy moan but she always seems to be on something!!

Carol Vorderman good at maths!!! She may be able to do sums, but my son has a first class masters degree in maths and would wipe the floor with her.
I thought she had a poor degree in engineering.

Pennychoo, I've noticed that as well! People in the background are looking over too, probably wondering who the loonies under the big watering can are. I love the bit with the woman who says "I want an interest rate that suits me." Um, yeah, I'll organise a loan and ask for 0% interest, which suits me just fine. Would they go for it, d'you think?

The ads for Picture loans make me so mad. "We don't patronise." Hmm, yes, that's why you're aiming your ads at people of a certain age, and using the music to Tony Hart's picture gallery, knowing full well that anyone in their late 20s or over will instantly recognise it.

And why do these people need loans anyway? Their houses are always immaculate. It's about time the government pulled the reins in on these ads.....
