What's the story with the two fuckheads and the baldy cat for meteor? That ad is risible. Who passed it for public consumption? All those meteor ads freak me out. They cause me to contemplate a certain type of twat working in media/advertising in Ireland, who actually get paid to develop such horrendous concepts to finality. This act of contemplation usually causes me to subsequently break my fist against something hard like a wall. Other ads that annoy me are anything twee with beardy skinny dudes and girls in summer dresses flouncing about in fields to winsome Joanna Newsome style vocals, and those Diet Coke do your thing ads. Anything really with those mid twenties fun-loving can back-pack if I wanna and set up a bar on a beach type morons pricking about on rollerskates with ipods hanging out of their holes.
There's no such thing as a good ad. Its all just cheap manipulative spectacle. Why is this thread even celebrating ads?
This is why marketing is sinister:

If you can't be arsed reading it, it tells of how an ex child-psychiatrist turned ad-man figured out how to sell coffee to tea-mad Japanese: He sold the idea to kids first and followed them as they grew over 15 years. This is how deep all ads would go into your subconscious if they could.
