legov Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Since when was a fecking polar bear a po-lah bear? You english may dislike the letter R but the rest of us (minus the asian fellows) quite like it. FFS it's just about which accent you use - as long as people understand what you're saying I couldn't give give a damn whether you pronounce your R's or not.

theunderstudy Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I put po-lah to write it out as it's said. I do preonounce the r at the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Adverts. I know they keep free sites going, so I just try to ignore them, but repetitive ones that start on youtube videos make me want to punch my screen. I DON'T CARE IF EDWARD WAS TAKEN TO THE TOWER! **** off Baldrick. I point blank refuse to watch or listen to them so I just mute and switch windows for a minute until the rubbish is over. Talk sport is especially guilty of this behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 25, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2010 Nobody could possibly hate adverts more than me. I would ban them completely, except in dedicated advertising media. So you could have specifically advertising-based TV/radio channels, websites and magazines, but NO unsolicited advertising whatsoever on TV, radio, the web or newspapers/magazines.

I enjoy not watching / listening / looking at adverts and I wish more people would do it. They wonder why people download everything these days, are they mental. Also, I wonder who adverts work on, what type of person do they target ? My Dutch wife does not watch any Dutch TV any more either, a few years of the BBC and she realises that commercial TV is a load of old toss, unless downloaded or recorded I think it's 100 % unwatchable.

You mean channels dedicated to adverts, i.e. not showing normal programming? That would never work. But I agree about adverts beinghorrendous. Good adverts are great. Unfortunately they're few and far between these days. Especially as the recent trend seems to be incredibly annoying adverts that work because people talk about them afterwards, so it gets the name out there.

Shopping addicts would probably watch little else. Ironically, even I would probably use such channels occasionally. If I wanted to buy (say) a car, I might well go and do some research to see what's out there. But only when I choose to, that's the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I made a TV channell, I wouldn't do anythign special, I'd just start all programs a little earlier, like at 2:55 instead of 3. That way when everyone else hits advert breaks they'll know they can switch over to my channel because my breaks will have already been on.

theunderstudy Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Great adverts are great, the rest are annoying. Like the john west one was brilliant, and the Panda cheese ones are great but fm, some other adverts are awful and irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Like the Honda advert with Andy Williams, Impossible Dream i think it was, i used find myself stopping whatever i was doing at the time to watch that advert...true masterpiece!

mjmooney Posted November 25, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2010 Yes, but even these so-called "great" adverts are only great the first two or (at most) three times you see them. After that they are tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
