Am I getting old and crochety or . . .

are the adverts these days becoming more ridiculous by the day?
I thought we'd reached rock bottom when I saw a family sniffing the work-tops and floors trying to sniff that 'fresh' smell, now we have two fellas flying about with one suffering from an itchy armpit which causes him to crash dive. Perhaps it's the result of hallucinogenic drug taking at a young age.

All the Guiness adverts were good. I hated the one where the Chinese boy is sitting on the loo shouting for his mother.

Can't believe no-one's mentioned those two sickly sweet little girls who give their dad some grey hair treatment and tell him he'd be a good catch for someone. Then a few seconds later you see him coming home with some woman (whom he's presumably pulled because he no longer has grey hair). Well if I was that woman and I found out I was about to become stepmother to those two, I'd run a mile.

I think one of my favourites in recent years has been the Sony Bravia one with all the paint being blasted around, and the Audi ad where they use all the car parts to make a sort of Heath-Robinson machine.
