Perhaps you are right as the censors passed it but I bet they did have a close look at it. I found it implied stereotypes of general cultures. 'Athletico Kebab' is a dodgy line in the context of the ad. Can't say I have logical reasoning here but simply it makes me a little uncomfortable. The other ad shows they are definitely looking to push the boundaries.
And Leroy is bang on the money with getting annoyed with old songs getting the Katie Melua treatment. I thought I was alone in being aggravated by this
And I'd like to kick, hard in the vagina, whoever is responsible for the Lloydstsb adverts
'Katie Melua Treatment' was a generalisation. It refers to any classic song being butchered by a wailing bint with an ethereal piano/gospel choir/skiffle backing
Working for an advertising agency, there are a good 3 or 4 I have seen of ours at a quick glance (sure there are more).
I think the John Lewis Christmas advert is very good - the best adverts IMO are the ones that work on emotions and sentiment rather than specific messaging.
Loads of adverts annoy me, too many to mention though.
What annoys me the most is when I turn to a channel and an ad is on it is NEVER the last one, usually there's about a half a dozen to sit through so it was probably the first. Also if you flick to a Sky Sports channel you'll notice there's a trailer at the start and end of every ad break. So if you change to Sky Sports News and there's an upcoming trail for the Champions League, again it it always seems to be at the start of the break rather than the end of it!
the current Direct Line adverts purely because these people are prepared to stand in line doing Mexican waves with implements just for their 5 minutes of fame
What was Joe Hart thinking of with the Head and Shoulders. Totally cringetastic. Must have been paid an awful lot of money. While i was reading about it i came across one i had never seen before. Awful from Rooney.
Best ad's at the moment, are the Power of Advertivising ads.
There's two with the dog involved, one where he tries to get out of the dogs home by doing the ironing etc., and the other where his master is about to bin his best toy.
There is a f*cking terrible one for one of those quick cash loan shark companies. It's just some berk pretending to play along to a very bad song on guitar. It's the worst. It's like a man in his 70's was asked to create an advert to appeal to the youth using keywords like "fab", "funky" and "cool". As someone under the age of 35 it makes me want to die.

That's the phrase I've been looking for! Ever since that hideous cover of Power of Love, this has been one of my many hobby horses

Any toothpaste advert.
Absolutely ANY advert that appears on TV between the hours of 9am to 4pm.
