Random thoughts on TV Ads

Why do shampoo ads always show a long haired woman tossing in slow motion? (Are these shampoos only for long hair?)

Why do ads for dental treatment always do quick cuts (several times in one sentence) and very close up shots showing only parts of a face.
And who are the people (confident amateurs or bad professionals?)

Why do they persist with ads using very small children. Children old enough to speak but not old enough to sound natural?

Why are the BB sponsors (Lucozade) Ads not funny?

Non one else would sponsor them and they don't have a creative bone in them?

Most ads are complete shite and even ones that might be funny or entertaining cant bear repeating.

I hate Capitalism and Multi National companies...all run by megalomaniac sociopaths.So you cant believe a word they say.

I go out of my way not to buy their crap!

For a split second I thought I would be very witty.
But I can see everyone beat me to it.

Why do they have ads for mascara and in teensy weensy writing it says the model is wearing false eyelashes?
The same goes for shampoo & hair dye ads (yes I include you Davina!)when it says in the same tiny print that the model (Davina) is wearing hair extensions.

Siavash should advertise shampoo, Rodrigo toothpaste, Lisa rizla as we can't have cigs, sophie bras. Can't think what David or Charlie could advertise.

On the suject of adverts can anyone tell the name of the track used in the new 3 advert, I really like it and would download it if I could find out who it was.

And the person who thought up compare the meerkats is a genius!!!

It all about one thing, selling you lots of stuff you don't really need.

No one needs to spend loads of cash on shampoo and conditioner, but millions believe they do.

No one needs make-up. But companies manage to sell millions of pounds of the stuff.

No one moistuirisers costing heaps, but many women still buy it believing they can ward off the effects of aging (it don't work).

We also don't need, fizzy drinks, new cars, g-star bore, magazines, chocolate....... etc etc etc.

If more people thought for themselves and did not conform to peer pressure, it would be a very different world.

Damn, my computer has just disap..
