barclays stupid adverts continue

now they have a "orac" like box, with the original voice for holly in red dwarf.

again, a selection of gormless barclays staff, complete with crap clothing and greasy hair surround the latest brainwave gizmo one of them has invented. it is plugged in and immediatley says they are all redundant. now thats a great message for barclays staff.


another advert which says "our staff are stupid, they look stupid, they think up stupid ideas and they see them through to the end rather than stop it early"


barclays - thick. "now there is a thought"

thank god i never did take that job at barclays

they have gone down the road of "our employees are stupid" adverts.
the scene, 2 people in some part of barclays, where one has invented a new debit card.
one that becomes invisible so is hard to steal.

yes! i am thinking that too. the idea is so obviously stupid any clever person would drop it immediately. but no, barclays staff are so fucking thick they develop it, then dance around a crummy office hugging each other in delite of making such a stupid thing that they knock it onto the floor. where they realise how daft it was.

now the tag line, which someone else already had (this is "barclays lets call our new service b2" just as budgen call their shops b2 and some dairy food calls their range b2 so they must be used to fucking up a branding exercise) and is in dispute over its use seems fitting


barclays - idiots. "now there is a thought"

more poor adverts : revels

they appear to be running a very old advert again, which made no sense then, but hey, i dont take the drugs the advertising people do. so the scene, a kickboxing type pit only its the geeky westerner v the asian. only its a game of russian roulette over who gets the "horrid" sweetie. what? they are advertising that out of the 6 sorts of revel you may not like them? what sort of fuckwit came up with that as a concept to sell chocolate. "buy these you wont like some of them"

what a winner.

why is it junk mail beats normal?

the post normally arrives at 9am.

this morning 20 items of junk "delivered by hand by royal mail" arrived at 10.
2h 15m later the real post arrived, delivered by hand by royal mail.


perhaps i should get all my mail stamped "junk"

wack dawn french and her stupid chocolate

so dawn wants us to "wack em not tap them" - that would be the kraft owned terrys chocolate orange.
but not "terrys of york" as all that has gone to "europe" (read poland etc).

and that just tastes horrid to me.

does the american airlines advert appeal to you?

i dont understand what the american airlines advert is meant to be promoting.

so they say if they can please the average "new yorker" as they fly more than any other airline then they must be good.

but who wants to sit next to a fat loud mouthed obnoxious arsehole for a long flight?

i would rather book with an airline not filled with them.

quorn or just unfit?

i have not had the most active of weeks. but after eating 2 qtr pound quorn burgers in french bread rather than an evil chinese takeaway after the pub friday i have had the weekend from hell.
i would like to blame the quorn, as i have noticed similar stomach problems after eating their "fresh" sausages. however i have had no problems after eating the frozen sausages, which i have eaten for years.

actually i will blame the quorn. i mean, its not MY fault is it!
