One that appears to have made a recent re-appearance is the Nissan commercial with a car leading crowds of joggers through the slums of some unnamed south american hell-hole. I hate the sound track. It grates on my sensibilities to such an extent that would happily contemplate murdering the half-wit responsible for it.

And that awful brain-dead un-celebrity who advertises Revitalift,"Wrinkles? I'm winning back" I could quite easily derive a great deal of satisfaction from smacking her in the face with a bag of shillings.

The other thing that makes me laugh is ASDA adverts, If they are "always cutting prices" How come they are not giving the stuff away yet?

Has anyone worked out the meaning of the BMW advert?

It's the one that says it's got valvetronic engines, and I am trying to work out the link between tortoises and valvetronic engines.

Unless tortoises have valvetronic engines as well?

Hmmm... that's something I hadn't thought of...

LOL!! and then you would have to sit there for another ten minutes freezing your bits off while it empties!!

One product I haven't seen an advert for yet is the new Heinz Tomato Ketchup bottle.

If you haven't got one yet you are in for a treat. This almost qualifies for the "best thing since sliced bread" award. The bottle stands on it's cap and at the slightest squeeze delivers a fine jet of sauce exactly where you want it. No more shaking and banging the bottle to get that last bit, or ending up with so much on your plate that your dinner looks like a road traffic accident. It's brilliant. Joined-up thinking, at last!

I haven't seen those. I've got hair conditioner that stands on its cap so it makes you wonder why ketchup manufactureres (or even us the general public) have never thought of it before. Maybe we should have been out there demanding upside down ketchup bottles!

That raises an interesting point about regional product marketing. We've had that kind of ketchup bottle available here for well over 2 years.

When I lived in Durham, and used to visit my parents in Blackburn, I used to notice the different products advertised and on sale. Different things would be offered in one place from another.

Warning - stay away from "upside down" bottles of Helman's Mayonaise. It's too gloopy to run down the bottle properly and you always have to take the top off and scrape the last bit out with a knife.

I used to love the mushy pea advert fantastic!!!

Have you ever noticed an advert for something that doesnt tell you what the product is? I have. I mean what if you were blind? you can still listen to the telly but how the hell are you suposed to know what the product is they are trying to sell to you??
