I’m one of the many, many people who’ve pretty much abandoned TV to get my fix straight off the Digital Video Disc. Side effect: when I am in front of the box, the advertisements are even harder to ignore than normal.
This might be why it’s taken me until now to notice that in Cadbury’s chocolate world, all the happy brown-skinned people are actually white people. See for yourself. All that platinum white-boy hair.
And now that I’ve noticed, it bugs me. They don’t make ’em like they used to, that’s for sure…
( Also bugging me is this Aussie advertising disguised as a teaching resource.)

I love that Crunchie ad.
I specifically gave up tv to avoid the ads. I won’t recap my long-winded reasons for hating ads here, but every time I go to the movies (and therefore have to PAY to sit through a ton of ads – makes me wonder even more how the f**k they can justify such exorbitant ticket prices) I think to myself “Thank god I don’t have to look at this rubbish every day, they’re getting worse all the time!”
Apologies for dragging this back to parenthood yet again, but ads are the reason I don’t let Rebecca watch TV. She’s allowed to watch DVDs because I can control what she watches
On the subject of truly vile ads, have you seen that dreadful Lotto one in which the WW2 veteran uses his winnings to return to France to find his wartime sweetheart? It’s offensive on so many levels it’s hard to know where to start.
