Loathsome adverts Page 4

Same as the people who are picked because they're tall, short, bald, ginger, pretty, old, male, female, kids etc etc.
That's what casting is - you decide who you want in the commercial then go and get those type of people.

I'd rather live in a world where there are supposedly "too many" black people on adverts - than none at all

Which was once definitely the case...

Any actor would be grateful for the work, I'd have thought, regardless of their colour.

Technically black and white aren't colours, so we're all "of colour". It's very confusing.

Meanwhile in Nigeria, white actors and white voiceovers in adverts have been banned. Funny old world innit.

I can understand the ambition - 'posh' and 'classy' was often portrayed as white or an english accent - which smacks of colonialism.
But a ban is a pretty clumsy way to do it.

The Mcdonald's one - shown during every ad break too.
The greedy little twat makes a Christmas list 40ft long.
I was glad it blew away.

Those ionos website adverts with that creepy little German woman

Who else thinks that the "Doll" in the Argos advert is really creepy?

Reminds me of M3GAN

I think I've said this before, but I so hate this one so much, I want to throw something at the TV - apparently Elvis used to shoot his TV if something was on he didn't like, but I haven't got a gun and can't afford to keep doing that

And it's that f**king Money Supermarket one with Judi Dench doing her "M" routine - utter bollocking crap!!

Bloody Thames Water wasting money on advertising instead of spending money on the f**king leaks.
