Honestly the amount of effort people put into trying to hide stuff like that now probably makes kids more interested in it

did it?
My (sisterâs) local childrenâs hospital may wish to differ - although a quick go on the stomach pump and allâs well that ends well 
@CurvyJilly : yup , under the kitchen sink , waiting for child locks to be invented and advertised on the tele

Oh i nearly forgot 1 of the adverts thatâs been annoying me most recently. That stupid hybrid advert talking about how humans are not adapted 
thatâs not how evolution works, if we werenât adapted weâd have died out ages ago, weâre not like sloths, we actually have things that want to eat us
(i may be particularly annoyed by it because the 1st time it came on it was talking about how we have no fur while i was trying to pull out some ingrown hairs)

Not TV but radio. And I donât hate itâŚbut every time I hear it I now have to say âhierarchical monkey cultureâ in time with the ad.
Thanks Jonathan WarburtonâŚ

Oh my god, that advert for American Express Platinum or whatever itâs called, that comes on the radio drives me mad! I hate it, that annoying voice saying âcashback, cashbackâ repeatedly all the way through has me rushing to turn the volume off!
Itâs worse if it comes on while Iâm listening in the bath as I canât reach the radio! Grrrr

âCanât afford something non essential?â
Well instead of saving up for it and really appreciating it because youâve saved for agesâŚbuy it now with a loanâŚand pay loads more back in interest over a long time.
Sometimes even years after itâs no longer used or the tan and memories faded.
They make the APR look as if itâs nothing use the word âonlyâ
And then the adverts that show you the price
FROM ÂŁxxx
But the actual item shown is usually the most expensive and shown in the tiniest print at the bottom of the screen.
Grrrrrrrrrr

I think can think of an advert on tv that does exactly that. Extremely misleading to say the least!
Most car ads do it, show the top of the range version, thatâs about 50 grand, but says from 20 grand. Then in very small print say model shown is the 50 grand version.
Another irritating thing on radio advertsâŚgabbling the legal small print in a couple of seconds.
Charlotte Tilburyâs Hollywood flawless filter ad winds me up. I end up with the song in my head all day!

Yes, late at night!
A bit different from the usual posts on here but i actually quite like the dead happy adverts, i think theyâre a bit different and actually fairly funny without being obnoxious (i definitely like them more than the other adverts that keep playing haha)

The one for constipation where a woman is âbloatedâ and keeps dumping food in her handbag, for those who canât comprehend what being constipated means!
Also, the fact that ads for pile cream, incontinence pants, laxatives etc are all on at teatime!

Oh donât get me started on those! Why is it always women being portrayed as having constipation, wind, diarrhoea or piles? And the Tenor Lady ones are the worstâŚlike itâs almost compulsory for women to being weeing themselves all the time?!

Another one is the load of bingo and gambling site adverts making out itâs a fun filled community. Then the warning âWhen the fun stops, stopâ
When exactly is that? When you are up to your eyeballs in debt?
I am very cynical about online computer generated gambling. Surely they use programs that lure you in, but ensure the company always wins and nothing is random or chance based?
