How can they get away with this?

[sft42]

I really want two things for wmas....First is one of the phones that a certain retailer advertises that has little legs and arms and the second thing is a 'inner self' from the yoghurt ads....I am heartbroken to find that I can't have either.....How can advertisers get away with doing this to us?

[archbishop]

OK I'll fall for it. What's wmas as the w is nowhere near the x it can't be a typo?

[sft42]

Actually, it is supposed to be xmas....see how annoyed I am....I am even making outrageous spelling mistookes because of it.

[treaclefight]

sft, i used to give you a scottish accent when reading your posts, but mistookes has made me think of you as having an inspector clouseau accent, you are hilarious now, more posts please :-D

[treaclefight]

but just to emphasise your point about ads, i need to get one of the badly behaved gas appliances for my ex mother in law, cant find them anywhere either, but i'll settle for a reading gremlin instead.

The little Sprite goblin has got to be available though surely?

mrsinci works for that phone company. apparently those little phones are like vermin around the office. this is why if you ring up they sound distracted, they are having to fend off the little walking phones. but when they try to sell them they escape from the box.

[LeMarchand]

Not too fussed about the walking phones, but I really want an "inner self" too :-).

those are good, however whenever i buy babybell cheese it NEVER bounces off down the street OR chases people on bikes OR even rushes through fast moving traffic ... a breach of the trade descriptions act (or something like that) if ever there was one!!!

And I've never had a little cartoon boy ineffectively guard my Haribo before like on the adverts. It's just not on I tell ya.

sft42 - You enjoy this don't you?

[coggles]

Don't know about my inner self, but my outer self is falling apart at the minute. So, I was so annoyed when I went to the Body Shop and they told me I couldn't buy a new Body there.

And I'm still waiting for the Lynx effect.

My BigMac isn't big, shiny or colourful. It's a bun with a burger and some flaccid lettuce.
