Arty farty adverts

Recently theres been some very clever 'arty' adverts on telly, some would put a feature film to shame on special effects.   Sadly many suffer from what I call product-itus (they are so clever they forgot what they are trying to sell.
Theres one with a little girl singing with a singing cat in her bicycle basket, I've seen it a few times now, very cleverly done, the thing is I haven't a clue what it's trying to sell, so massive fail!
Theres another clever one that has absolutely bugger all to do with the product it's trying to sell (can't remember what it's supposed to be at the moment, so again it's just confusing the potential customer.
Another has little furry animals popping out of biscuit packets, great ad, but I don't know what it's trying to sell.
My favorite this week, is one for smoothies, the company is giving 10% of the price to an overseas charity.... So what they are saying really is we overcharge our customers so we can give the money away abroad and save tax, charming!  Maybe customers should have the option to op out, or better yet select their own charity.
