In the UK, I don't like that advert about speeding with the dead boy throughout it.  It creeps me out.

In the US, or at least in Minnesota there is a new ad where two valley type girls say "that's gay" and another women points out that associating gay with bad is silly.  The advert does a much better job in explaining it then I am but I hate it when people use the term gay instead of stupid/silly/ect. Gay and stupid are not synonymous.  Anyway, I am happy to see that advert.

What is up with the badly dubbed commercial with the boy that wants to 'do a poo at Paul's'?
I'd love to know where that's from.

I love the new commercial for Robinsons Natural squash. I thought it was cute I love the part where the little yellow bird comes home pick up the toys the kids left on the floor, then turns on the TV an the news is on an there is a police picture of a cat who is a suspect in a few birds incidents, then it looks into the fridge an you see a package of worms lol, then the clock where a human figurine that says hello instead of bird ha ha. that is one of the best commericals I have seen in a long time.  ;D  [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

Thanks, I was confused as to why the conversation was disconnected. But then again, I'm easily confused!

I noticed a lot of commercials just now have voiceovers with British accents.  There's also one for some laundry detergent (I think) with an English washer woman (!) telling these unsuspecting slobs they can get their clothes a lot cleaner with [whatever].

Oh!  now I remember its "Cheer" so that must be the British connection.  Groan ....

Comedy Central is advertising their showing of 'The Office' with a song by the Killers. It never stops being funny.

I really like the advert with all the piggy banks running around the lawn, then being herded inside by the collie figurine.  Stephen Merchant's voiceover saying "Gooood porcelain doggie" cracks me up.
