"TV Ads"

Has anyone seen the latest Fosters Ad, where a guy bungie jumps partially into a river where a croc (or alligator) almost snaps him, with the Ausssie commentator in the background? Feel it was a blatant rip off from the Tango ads? Yeah, well me too.

It's ridiculous that the marketing department (who are probably an experienced bunch) should know better than to rip off the Tango Ads and creating an "orignal" ad by chipping in an Australian accent. Wow, great idea! You idiots.

Another stupid ad is the Heinz Beans one - what's the matter, you've run out of ideas so you decide to re-run those from 50 years ago? Clever and cheap. In a way, it's just like the games and film industry today - no innovation. May as well program robots with a database of scenarios to do.

How dare people say ads suck. It's the best bit about TV.

OK, I've seen it again; but come on, there's a good chance that the idea orignated from watching a Tango advert.

Just as i feared... damn!! Thats put me off bungie jumping over rivers.

I love some adverts, sometimes they're better than the program

I hate the daytime music channel adverts for loans obviously directed at "Housewives" <-- disgustingly simple and cheesy

I hate using that word "housewife" sorry had no choice

I sometimes do, but i cant normally be bothered because if a good song comes on, you listen to it and then you miss some of the programme that you are watching...

Stupid adverts...

I love the Fosters ads, but the WKD ones totally make me laugh. Totally. ;c)

The one with the brick wall in the lift, and the doughnut at the beach...and the one where he's trying to impress the laydees and comes back saying "I've got the moves" before falling in the hole. :cD

I REALLY hate the blooming eSure adverts. GRRR. I could kill that poxy woman! "HELLO MUM, I'M ON THE TELLY!" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

That's when you turn to a music channel whilst the ads are on...

Yeah, that surprised me too!

I like the new Tango ad, where he misses the barrel of oranges. Wasn't expecting that, after having seen the original so often (where he's on target). Had me in stitches for ages.

I hate adds, intrrupting my tv programms...
Stupid adds...
Stupid...
