Mind you, Corti-Slim with Dr Greg C Namone (or whatever the hell his name is) is pissing me off too.

Oh yes, Dr. Greg and his famous quote "it's not your fault you're fat or overweight".
The Ambien advert that tells you that one of the side effects is "drowsiness". DUH
And the drug that helps you if you have an "overactive bladder" yet the side effects are that is causes "difficulty in urinating".

It reminds me of the Blockbuster video "no late fee" advertisement. When I checked at our local store they had a sign up saying that they don't particiapte. In fact, they said, no store in Florida participates in the "no late fee" promotion.
I think I'll start a new thread.................

My vote is for the Vongage ad-sounds like yodeling in it- LOUD irritating yodeling- I don't like it.

Re: Adds that make you see red?
Funny this should come up again...
I hate the advert for those vacuum storage packs.
It says: "Look how much space you can save in your closet by moving things elsewhere".
You don't need to buy anything for that to work.

That just reminded me of that annoying old commercial in the UK for Shake n' Vac where that obnoxious woman dances while vacuums and sings "Do the Shake n' Vac and bring the freshness back". That annoying jingle will stick in my mind for ever which I guess is what the ad people want.

The bloke who seems to be everywhere at the moment advertising his book "Natural Cures They Dont Want You To Know About" comes across as a complete and total w*nker. I just want to smash the Tv with a brick whenever I see him, which is a shame as I seem to come across him everytime I change channels.
