What's With This Stupid 'brand Power' Rubbish?

[Caz SR]

Has anyone else noticed them? Some patronising woman comes on, with a supermarket backdrop 'infomercial' style telling us about certain products such as Rice, Air Fresheners and Lunch snacks.

Do they think that someone tellling us "Brand Power are helping you buy better" washes with us? Just because it's advertised with a 'consumer friendly' name, doesn't make it any less of an advert for the actual product.

They are annoying, American-inspired tripe. <_<

Yup I agree.. complete rubbish.. but unfortunately.. there are a large percentage of rather stupid people in this country..

Lets run some ads, and the people that then buy these products off the back of the ads, we'll ship to a 'you're too stupid to be a member of the public' island.. sound good?

Seen one this morning. Can't say it overly annoys me.

The Frosties advert however, is starting to get on my nerves...

Yeah - that's another one. I actually listened to the lyrics this morning and they're truely diabolical. :!Removed!:

I just change channels now for about 3 mins, and then change back, it's doing my head in that much...

[DaveSR]

Well I like one of them :D !

Not sure what the product is ..... some sort of fromage frais thing that you can suck in some sort of tube and freeze it to keep the lunchbox cool.

One of the camera shots is true awesome ;)

The advert is aimed at kids - but there's something there for the dads LOL

Labour got in for another term - so yes I'd say people would be foolish enough to believe in this brand power bull!

* That was a joke before anyone starts to moan!

They just look like crap adverts to me, and I agree totally about the Frosties one - I just want to poke the likke sods' eyes out...

On the subject of adverts, how good is the latest John Smiths ad? :)

"Here we go...contact..........Hellooo...yer barred!"

Ones just been on telling me the benefits of a certain brand of air freshener, with three times the freshening power...

I'd rather have a smelly house!

Am I going to have to lock you in the cupboard again?
