The guy with no legs and the kilt was a brilliant tango ad. I don't think that one helped them stay on the air though

O/T I know, but...
...why are all the avatars changing to cartoon type faces?
You now, such as EllieJP and MarkP for example.
Whereas Graham Bandage has changed from cartoon to real life.
Everyone's been 'Bandaged'.
You think this is real life?

'He didn't go deaf', his hearing was permanently damaged, for f**ksake. 'Going deaf' is losing your hearing due to old age or exposure to noise or high pressure over a long time. A trauma to the ear caused by some tiny f**k smashing his hands against your skull is not going deaf.
The ad should never have been broadcast in the first place.

Sorry Ellie, ignore me I'm a twat.
I have permanent ear damage, that was caused by a child, so I guess it's a sensitive subject for me.
I get angry when I think of a load of over-paid, over-coked copywriters making up campaigns without thinking how people will react - especially children, who rely on adults telling them it's okay to do something.

At least I don't think I'm a jedi, or look like Shirley Ghostman.

Apology accepted, and I apologise for my ignorance on the subject. You learn something new every day hey?

Gav, you mean you're not a Jedi? *Nils world crumbles*
I doubt the writers envisioned people running round twatting each other when they wrote the ad. You obviously took it a bit personally, which is unfortunate.
