There's a long running coffee ad where a man is in an amphitheatre talking to everyone he's ever met, as herself has just pointed out he has about 300 ex girlfriends, most of whom seem to have forgotten his name.

And why would the people who have forgotten his name have accepted the invitation to this event? Especially as he has absolutely no interest in them.
"Someone you once knew is having a reunion event"
"Oh, really, who's that then?"
"We can't tell you, you have to turn up and see if you remember his name. And then pass another couple of tests about how well you know him"
"And if I pass?"
"He'll have a cup of coffee with you"

There is a campaign running here just now saying that if you are waiting for a liver transplant you could die but if you want to jump the line you can.
A little disturbing. How would this work? The market in human organs is illegal. Are they going to let you move to the front of the line for free. I doubt it. Where do these organs come from?
Also, I see it as another example of money allowing the hoi poloi to be fucked again.
Tell me I'm wrong and have totally misunderstood this.

Just seen the latest Ferrero Rocher commercial, which is effectively the same as all their previous efforts in that it features a glitzy party centred around a pyramid of said chocolates. The latter is then gleefully plundered by a well-heeled couple. From the bottom.
I mean, wouldn't the whole bloody lot come crashing down?

The Co-op adverts with the group of friends boil my piss a tiny bit. Can't quite work out if they're the same bunch from the World Cup, who had to go outside when there was a penalty, or the barbecue bunch where the woman likes cheese on her sausages, but they're all a similarly multi-cultural and multi-gendered (but all great pals, no tension here at all) great bunch of lads.
Their Christmas offering has them playing charades and entering the eternally tedious debate about whether Die Hard is a Christmas film. I'm firmly in the "who gives a fuck" camp.

This may change adverts in the UK a bit:

I say "may" because there's plenty of other rules concerning adverts (not having them played at louder volume than the programmes they're inserted into/between, not portraying cosmetics as making you a stick-on cert to be attractive to the opposite sex, no national stereotyping) that already get broken with dazzling regularity, but hey ho.

Noticeable shift in the kind of ads showing at the Tyneside Cinema in the run-up to xmas. There are often shitty ads for 4x4s which I think are singularly misdirected but now we're getting bespoke diamond jewellery, luxury holidays and couture.
Clearly someone in adbooking agencies thinks that all punters in all 'arthouse' cinemas are all loaded and uber-posh. I suppose they do occasionally livestream opera and that.

Saw this in the cinema when I watched The Favourite. I have to say, it's an... interesting move, post emissions scandals, for a car company to rhetorically ask the question "What if we obeyed the rules" as if it would be a bad thing.Watch the official DS 7 CROSSBACK TV Advert now. DS 7 CROSSBACK is an SUV like no other. Muscular, charismatic and attractive, it is the first DS car to be d...

I thought that that wretched Kris Akabusi commercial would be the worst in current rotation, but that bloody car ad with Thierry Henry is somehow even more annoying: "Who's ate all the toffees?" Great. Another generation of kids unable to speak proper English. Thanks a bunch for that, Renault.
I really need to watch less football. Or less Sky, per se.

British Airways' current spot with famous people trotting out delusional, self regarding clichés of national exceptionalism really sticks in the throat at the moment.
It's even worse than the Comic Relief tie-in safety announcement and that's only inflicted upon their actual passengers.
Supermarkets jostling to out-British each other with their Sunday lunch ingredients can fuck off too.

Toyota spreading nonsense with their "self-charging hybrid" bullshit.
The pathetic little battery is charged pretty much exclusively by petrol, with a miniscule amount of regenerative braking system adding a dribble on top.
Self-charging my fucking Aunt Fanny. I assume you turn it on in the morning and the battery has replenished itself overnight in defiance of the laws of physics?
