Never seen that one until now but yes agree it is very anoying. Not exactly adverts but aren`t you all sick of seeing trailers for programs at every ad break? Sky are one of the worst offenders,3 before the real ads come on. Wasn`t the idea that commercial stations got an extra ad break so they could raise more money? Clearly this has been abused and they should have to go back to just 2 ad breaks per 1 hour program.

Yes I agree with you that the BBC are the worst. I only said Sky are ONE of the worst offenders not THEE worst offender. I think trailers should be limited to between programs,not in the middle of them. And how many should also be limited too.

I hate what they do on Sci-fi and other channels where we get a advert for another programme at the top corner or across bottom of screen while we are watching a programme.

Yes those traler banners are very annoying I agree. Sky must be commended in that they don`t do that (as far as I can remember) and take their station logo off the screen after a few seconds of the program starting (except on the sports channels). Wish other stations did that.

Re: Carlsberg stunt

Ah. Good old viral marketing. Why pay to screen an ad on tv when you can have people post it to others/on internet fora for free?

Funny TV adverts

Been trying to recall (don't ask me why) the advertising campaign which featured the strap line "Don't you just hate it when that happens?..."

I'm pretty sure it was beer but I might be wrong. Can anyone recall?

Anyway whilst trawling I found this advert which brought back memories and made me chuckle:

Ps Don't mention the war.....
