Kate. I like the Honda one too. Its very clever. I also like the one with the horses in the sea. I think it was for Guinness or something like that. Brilliant!

With all the negative comments all I can say is: CALM DOWN DEAR, ITS ONLY A COMMERCIAL! (Best ever adverts!)

The ones for Heinz Salad Cream before, during and after 'Emmerdale' . Whoever thought them up wants drowning in a vat of the stuff - and have you noticed they even put it on Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding !?!?!

I to hate the Michael Winner ad, I just do not like that name droppin man anyway. Carol Voderman is another one I dislike, greedy woman, encoraging people to get into debt. Surely she makes enough on "Countdown" I love the one for "Ready Breck" but I guess thats because my daughter is one of the mothers in it. Bridget x

Hiya Linda Im ok thanks...hows you? What about the ad for condoms with a girl doing the biz ontop..? I was well embarrased,,

Any for sanitary towels or tampons. We ladies all need them at some time in our lives, but I really don't think the world and his wife (and their small kids) need to be reminded constantly! Sue

Angela. I agree. I am anti-smoking and know people who have tried to give up but don't seem to be able to. The ads are important if they help people to quit. I just find them a bit graphic. Mel

The Va Va Voom advert really annoys me. Oh, and I watch tv as well when eating, mostly cause the news is usually on at the same time! Eileen

I hate the ones which are for cancer research. The little boy looking in the mirror & seeing his mum, who has died... makes you think...If only I can look into that mirror & for a moment see someone ive lost....it makes me want to cry... Elaine x

All thos nappy and kandoo ads - they are NOT cute anymore!! Grown ups ( some celebs ) doing childish voice overs. Oh Please!! Take 'em off my TV please!!!!!

Angela Report 29 Jul 2004 18:59

Mel That advert with the fat in ciggies was powerful, but I believe it is the most effective anti-smoking advert ever. If seeing that saves one life, it is worthwhile. Angela

Any of the 'Halifax' ones - they get zapped immediately!

The Michael Winner ads, anything by Carol Vordemann offering financial services, Direct Line (want to smash that telephone with wheels with a large hammer), the car insurance one with the bulldog that pretends to be Derek Guyler, and especially any advertisements that entice children to buy sweets/junk food by linking products to cartoon characters - totally underhand and dangerous profiteering at the expense of my kids' health.
