    @#$Ng kids on TV

    Is it just me or has every second advert got some annoying kid in it at the moment? If I hear another squeeky bloody voice coming from the goggle box I'll go mad.

    The ones in my head are OK. Its the ones in my feet that trouble me. Especially that one between the left toes. I don't like that one. Fortunately, its very muffled when I wear boots.

    My sentiments exactly. Smarmy little fuckers. Butter would not melt in their mouths.

    I actually think the young girl that is on the advert with Cocksy (Gib board or some crap) is very well spoken and delivers her lines at a sensible pace - unlike most kiwis who have to talk as fast as possible (even when they are NOT on a tv advert).

    The telecom one can piss off though!

    I cant stand the one where the lil boy goes out in the car and picks up the lil girl... (cant remember what one it was for, toyota hilux maybe?)
    Irresponsible I think, an ad depicting a 3yo driving etc??
    Kids could get the wrong idea and think they can do it too....

    Its a kia I think...
    I remember when I was little, and too weak to take the handbrake off, I tried and tried... But seriously, kids learn by observation, what you gonna do, blindfold them when they are in the car??
    They are gonna play as soon as they can. Better to take them in the shop or whatever, at least then tradgedy may be averted!

    Hey, it's not just men who hate ads with kids in them! There are some products I refuse to buy on principle because of the pathetic ads with cutesy (their definitition, NOT mine!) kids in them. And as for the ads for nappies where the mother invariably removes the soiled nappy and then kisses the baby's arse - give me a break, how hygienic is THAT?

    I loathe that Telecom ad with that obnoxious kid with the briefcase and I also hate the ones with babies throwing food all over the place for mummy to clean up. My husband hates the one for Cobb and Co (not that we'd be likely to head there anyway) where the girl turns around with an open mouthful of food - ugh!

    And yet, what's the bet these irritating ads will be top of Fair Go's tv ad awards come Wednesday?
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
