Damn Adverts

Have you noticed a bad run of adverts gracing our TV screens ATM. With my touch of the obsessional, some of them make me want to turn the TV off altogether.
The walls Ice-cream one where they're serving Lemon Meringue ice-cream to the wedding guests? Then the Vicar puts a plateful in the brides face? What's that all about? Are they saying the dessert was a joke? Then all the carefully dressed guests attack each other with platefuls of ice-cream. The little bridesmaid flees under the table to escape the food fight. I don't get what they're trying to tell us. I don't even remember the name of the ice -cream so if it's recognition they're after, they haven't got it.
I still hate that advert with the little boy robbing the bank. I have no idea why it's on our screens. Surely it's morally wrong.
And talking of adverts. All around Bristol on the bill boards there's huge pictures of people who look like the cast members of Eastenders. With comments like 'Will Chloe always come between Sonia and Martin" Text blah blah blah yes or No.
A huge one of Pat Butcher with some comment like "Does Pat deserve happiness"?
Who the fuck cares quite frankly. These posters are on the back of buses, by the side of the road....sodding everywhere. They're frankly rivaling the pathetic ones of the conservative party "Are you thinking that we are losing?"
So tell me which sad bastards have text in? And why? I wonder if it's some university study to see if more people text into the Eastenders poll, than vote in the lack lustre general election.
OMG and they chose Bristol. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

You should find you a chance to visit chinnai, where is a city of India. And you will find that city is bascially flooded with adverts.
