Re: Adverts That REALLY Pi$$ You Off
I hate those adverts for ladies shampoo that make up scientific b*llocks.
WTF is regeniumx?
And how do you measure that hair is 50% shinier?
I've never been taught the 'international scale of hair shinyness' !!!!!!!!!
And just cause some chick wears a white coat and glasses it doesn't mean she's superbrainy and knows it all about hair science!!!!!
IT CLEANS YOUR HAIR AND SMELLS NICE - that's it, it's not rocket (or hair) science.Please sir, step away from the map.

Same here, but the one, on BBC World, I find most annoying is South African Airway's...
"Excuse me, can I ask you a question? Did you ask for that seat?"
"WTF?...Firkoff you queer wierdo! eject, eject, eject!"

The same 'ere living in Redneckville, the ads make British ones look like masterpieces of art. The worst part is programmes go to a commercial break every eight minutes without warning and then you get an assorted mix of ambulance chasers, credit cards, insurance brokers, and drug companies who make up illnesses, charge a fortune for their "cure" and then go on to list extensive side-effects. The current most stupid must be the medication for "Restless Leg Syndrome" - I kid you not! - and "Chronic Dry Eye". The possible and probable side-effects of the tablets to "cure" Chronic Dry Eye include headaches, nausea, vomiting, and liver failure. I think I'd prefer a smack in the face with a wet Haddock to solve my CDE if I ever suffered from such an implausible affliction!

Unfortunately the pharmaceutical companies have yet to come up with a pill to cure my Restless Jap's Eye.
Other annoying ads include the one for Herpes treatment, those to help with penis erectile dysfunction, and another for a new vaginal ring contraceptive. It seems that it is OK to advertise these things at 5pm but if the same channel shows a bit of tit during the SuperBowl they get fined half a million bucks... hhhhmmm it's a funny old world!!!!
However, the one I don't complain about is the cheap, locally produced ad for a car body paint sprayers which starts with a buxom teen in a bikini asking in a Southern drawl, "Do you like a good body?"

Re: Adverts That REALLY Pi$$ You Off
I don't know how the cable or sat programming in the UK is set up. Where I live, after 2 AM most channels switch over to infomercials. You know, pills that cure baldness in 72 hrs, vitamin supplements that add 150 years to your life, pills that make you lose 50 lbs overnight, blah blah blah. If you happen to be a night person, like me, you're screwed.

How can they go on for an half an hour over the wonders of a set of kitchen knives. They cut stuff. End of subject!

Oh God! I find myself humming that bloody tune sometimes, though "Live it, love it, Hong Kong!" is beginning to compete for first place on the annoyance table...
