ads

thanks to my pal paul i have been able to watch some of the wwe weekly programming. not only has this meant that i have gotten to see the luscious melina, in all her glorious beauty, it has also meant that i have gotten to see some tv ads.
the one thing that becomes apparent is that sky advertising seems to be of two types - ads for sky programmes or adverts for financial services of some sort or another. (yes there is the occassional ad for other things but they are rare.)
oh look there is alan sugar bleating on about a service - one that he trusted so much he was going to give his fee for the ad to charity. well that is a sign that the services are great - some very rich bloke has told me that he has given his fee to charity (no doubt claiming the tax releif on it... not to mention the free pr he has received for being so nice....)
oh here is carol vorderman saying debt consolidation is the way to go.. just check the sums you'll be better off. just how does it work you have serveral debts, this company takes them on for you and you pay less? really or do you just end up paying more but just for longer. but if carol says it is ok then it must be (and what a wonderful woman she is sudoku, detox, financial services, tv shows, is there anything carol can't do?
but given all the stuff that has appeared in the news about personal debt in the uk i think the most tasteless ad most go to the new virgin credit card. it has the tag line along the line of "things are much better when you say yes..." well that won't encourage debt will it.

ah those ads remind me why i don't really miss regulat tv.
