Ever listened/watched an ad and thought "man, what sort of moron are they targeting this at?". You know the ones, where they pull some 'fact' out and you're expected to go "WOW" and buy the product.
Thought it would be fun to list the ones that bug you most.

I was prompted to post this by the latest Dyson vacuum, which raves on about the motor spinning 4 times faster than an F1 engine.......so making a 200 - 300gram rotating mass move faster than a 95-100 kilo reciprocating mass is now an achievement? :rolleyes:

My all time favourite - Nutella. Cracks me up how they to to make it sound healthy by saying it has less sugar then Jam and less fat than Peanut butter. Sheesh.

Last night I saw an ad for "Bam!" cleaning spray and they have introduced a "power meter" for removing dirt, stains, grease, etc.
Have a guess how it goes…
Power Meter 1 = 1 squirt
Power Meter 2 = 2 squirts
Power Meter 3 = 3 squirts
:rolleyes:… wow! You can actually squirt the bottle more than once, I never knew… :rolleyes:

THIS FUCKING ad pisses me off so much. If you listen to what they are actually saying, the so called "expert" lady with the pink shirt, says nothing more than what the kid's mum originally said. They make it sound as if she's just reeled off a whole bunch of technical information. Then the stupid fucking kid acts all impressed and asks if she can do his homework. I know I shouldn't get so pissed off by this ad, but I do.

wont this happen anyway because of gravity?!

My mum is addicted to buying unnecessary things off those morning tv shows.
ShamWow's dont work no where near as good as the guy from the tv ad say they are.
She has bought various exercise machines. Most of them have been alright except for the Ab swing Pro. There is no way you can use that and be built like a tank for only 3 minutes of use per day.
That oven cooker thing that cleans itself is pretty crap too. You still need to clean it and it is way easier just using a normal oven or microwave.
Most cleaning produccts advertised dont work.
The only good thing that she has bought is the multi use ladder and it actually does everything the ad says it does.
