annoying commercials
top of my list is the 'grey power' commercial: the one with the dame in the car getting really super upset and jerking her upper torso back and forward whilst driving ... seen a lot of awful women drivers but not ever like this
any other commercials irritate you?

The Cheese one.
But I also don't like those ads that go from birth, growing up, marrying, having your own kids, growing old etc
A whole bloody lifetime in 30 seconds. Depressing.

Oh yeah, the Province makes money from the OLG, doesn't it. Or am I being cynical.

Re: annoying commercials
Well if you need relief from the crap ads..... Go to Youtube (i'd give some links but it's banned at work!).... and search for NZ TV ads....
L&P Stubbies (Or any L&P ad really....)
Togs Undies (It's actually an ice cream ad!)
Toyota Sheep Shagger
Primo
Bloody hilarious..... I miss NZ TV
