Adverts?

What is wrong with companies these days, I remember when adverts were normal sensible things, you know "Freds hair cream, it sticks your hair down!" that told you the name and what it did, now we get terrible adverts, but if you look closer you'll see they may be saying the opposite to what the company want!

Car adverts.   Theres an ad for a car that shows it being dropped from a plane, built as it falls and then driving underwater, very clever, but the message I get is.... this car was put together in a hurry by people who had more important things on their minds (gravity) you'll think your driving underwater as it'll leak so much, and what happens when some silly bugger actually tries to drive one underwater... after all the advert showed it doing it... law suit here we go.

Car insurance adverts.  These here in the UK are bloody awful, they all more or less have one thing in common, they don't actually talk about insurance or what happens if your unlucky enough to have an accident.  Talking dogs, mearkats, and stupid opera singers say to me, we know bugger all about car insurance (and not a lot about advertising either) but we'll have a gimmicky advert to sucker you in and take your money. God help if you have a bump because we haven't a clue what to do then, maybe we'll just send you a stuffed meerkat?
