I object to audience stereotyping!

[jrandom]

I'm sitting here watching Antiques Roadshow, and the fucking Living Channel seems to think I'd be interested in a St John Lifeline alarm.

:pinch:

Anyone else ever find themselves watching their favourite television show and realising that the advertisers don't expect them to be?

[Grizzo]

It's when ya start taking notice of the man nappie ads, thats when you know yer fucked!

[Pussy]

There's also lots of tampon ads on TV1 about teatime... and I never get on the rags

[Timber020]

It hasnt got any advertising but my chainsaw helmet runs National Radio all day long while I work, and everyone seems to think I must be listening to hauraki or the rock. Nine to noon with Katherine ryan is great for busting trees to.

I like the antiques roadshow and grand designs, when Im not on the history channel.

[Virago]

It would appear that everyone watching the News suffers from erectile dysfunction...:eek5:

no its when you pick up the phone to order and you cant remember what a phone is, and your cat has no dial tone.

[Hitcher]

I can think of several KBers who would be perfect candidates for one of those St John alarms, myself included.

Yeah fuck yeah....eating tea, watching Closeup or whatever and you get those 'cracked heal' or 'mouldy toes' skanky adds....:angry:

[McJim]

Television adverts are just nature's way of saying "It's time for another cup of coffee". Pay them no heed and read a newspaper instead.

I so agree LOL but I'm not saying what programme I watch !!!

Surely they would be great for hydraulic leaks in the plane??? :blip:

600ft?


10 chars.

[Pussy]

600ft?


10 chars.

You are forgetting, Swoop, that I used to drop you meatbombs!
Mind you, I would probably shit myself to be at 12000 feet nowadays. Feel happier at 100ft

And another one.... just because we watch telly doesn't necessarily mean all our shithouses are fuggin dirty, either

[R6_kid]

When im watching greys anatomy (or other show around 'primetime' in the evening) I don't need to know about womens sanitary pads, tampons, or how effectived they are.

You do realise, of course, that you'll be able to play tennis and go swimming etc if you get yourself some?

Yes and those that listen to talkback radio too. Don't often tune in but when I do all I hear is this guy flogging off pills for disabled cocks.

The adverts I like to see at t time is the austitagia (sp) ad's. Ya sitting there tucking into a great big porterhouse steak and a fucking ad comes on telling you how to treat the worms and shit that may have infected the very beast you are trying to consume. :argh:
Kinda like cold water on a hard on. puts ya right off the idea.:angry2:

Ostertagia... I only know that because I work in the rural sector.
Sorry, as you were! :D

So, you do have a need to know about sanitary pads and tampons, then. Just the timing isn't good, eh.

[Number One]

:lol: I saw an ad tonight for male sanitary pads - Not "Depends" these were real MAN PADS :lol: Now you buggers have to suffer your own genitals down sides being displayed all over the tele. FFS whatever happened to the tap and shake I remember dad talking about? Clearly todays man doesn't feel the need...he just pops another pad in :laugh:

STILL not as cringe worthy as all the tampon/girly pad ads but they show these things off visually really well. Good 360 shots of the shaping and those little super effective leak guards and channels etc etc...

I had to do a marketing paper for my IT degree (don't ask me why). The lecturer said we always absorbed the ads, I said I don't, she disagreed, and said its subliminal. I didn't argue too hard, I had to get a grade from her at the end, but hello, I really do turn off during the ads, and when one comes on, I can't tell you what the last one was.

Even the ones I enjoy, I take ages to figure out what they are selling. Classic was the fisherman's catch ad. Loved the cute chick in the red jumper suit slapping the guy with a fish, and his reaction.

Took a couple of weeks to learn what fisherman's catch was, and still got it wrong until one was offered to me.

Don't worry, those advertisers are in cuckoo land. :zzzz:

[Swoop]

Pah. Proper "man pads" are plastic ziplock bags with a dry sponge inside.
How do you think Air Force fighter pilots go for a piddle when they are hours away from the nearest airfield?

Classic was the fisherman's catch ad.
It obviously still hasn't worked...

I joined the Bowls club over the back fence to take advantage of the $6 jugs.

Now I get direct mail for hearing aids and a regular little pamphlet with all sorts of home-spun cures for lumbago, corns, arthritis and the other maladies of decrepitude

Ostertagia.

And they don't infect the meat of affected animals. Ostertagia is effectively despatched by most quadmorphic anthelmintics.
