Oh how I hate mobile phone ads.
No really, I hate them.
The latest in my hate hole is the T-Mobile advert, with its "he doesn't like talking to her, and she avoids talking to him" crap.
The way it hint's at some kind of racial hate, or some kind of "he's not talking to his daughter because she's a hippy" thing.
But no, they all love each other really, they're just on different mobile phone networks.
Crap.
But there is a mobile phone advert which I hate more than this one, it's fairly old now, but they still show it at the cinema.
It's an Orage advert, the one with people opening their hands to reveal Orange squares.
There are a number of lines I really hate in this commercial.
"I can work on the train"
What???
Why the hell would you want to work on the train?
Isn't that the perfect excuse NOT to work?
I don't understand these work obsessed people that aren't satisfied with spending hours in their offices, they also work whilst travelling. Man, when I leave the office that's it. I don't even think about work until I arrive the next day.
But I've seen replies to emails I've sent coming in after midnight. Worse than working on the train, some people seem to work from their beds. Now that sounds appelaing to me, but only if I'm not going into an office, ever. Not working in an office, then on the train, and then when I get home. That would be most sad.
The advert gets worse though, when some guy says the following "I email from the beach"
Hello???
You're emailing from the beach? Man, that's the last thing I'd want to do. Dig a hole. Build a sand castle. Lay and enjoy the sun. DO NOT SEND emails. If I was on the beach, and I saw someone sitting their with their sodding mobile phone, sending emails, probably to work, I'd take their phone, and bury it.
I think the advert finishes with a line like this "I can build my world, and take it with me at all times"
Noooooooooo!!!!!!
Let's go to a strange and wonderful place, and hide in our hotel room, safe in our own little world!
Oooh! How gay!
Actually, it's not just mobile phone ads I hate, I hate it when people call me on my mobile, and it's not an emergency. I only own one for emergency purposes, and as such, it's usually switched off. But if I do happen to switch it on, it's guarenteed that someone will call. They've tried my home phone, and realise that I'm out, so they phone my mobile.
It's alright if it's important, but for a chat?
I'm out doing something, something more interesting than idle chit-chat.

Yeah - whay did we do before we had mobile phones eh ?
Urrmm - we used to be able to go out to the cinema and not have to hear some plonkers mobile beeping every 10 minutes cos he has sending stupid text message.
You go to the cinema to watch films jerk !
And these people that get to the checkout and the phone rings and they stand there having a damn converstion instead of saying "hang on a mo I'll call you back" Bloody annoying as the queue builds up.
And dont get me on to people who use them while driving - that REALLY pee's me off. People should be banned for at least 12 months - it's as dangerous as drink driving - controversial statement I know - but it is, you cant have the same control with one hand on the wheel and one on the phone, and you cant have the same reaction.
We got hit head on two weeks ago by some young lad who lost control of his car for no apparant reason - there is a suspicion that he may have been on the phone but the police have not been able to prove wether he was or not.

It's only a matter of time before a Pokemon style mobile phone game sweeps the teenie nation...
Young kids will be forced to upgrade their sim cards every week or face annihilation in the playground.

I cant think how much brain cancer is going to dominate the next generation. You see 9 year olds walking about with mobile phones, 9 year olds for heavens sake. What have they got to talk about except "you coming out to play?"
I hate that Coke advert that they won't stop showing at the cinema. You know, the one with the old bloke and his grandson who looks like Tim from the Office.
"Ooh, Rachael is now Tara." "Grandma's run off with Derek from the bridge club."
Pants.

Mobile phones are evil: they allow people to pester you all the time. The amount of arguements caused by boyfiends/girlfriends not answering their phones when rung by their partners, when they are out.....
Then if they do answer, they complain to their mates that they are getting pestered (why take your phone out) or even worse they have to spend half the night writing dumb text messages to each other.
If either partner doesn't take their phone with them though, it's the Spanish inquisition.
Catch 22.
I say we should operate a mobile phone disarmament treaty like the Russians and Americans do with nukes. We should all agree to rid ourselves of them in one unilateral motion.
Let's give peace a chance.
