Sad TV adverts

Frang · December 4, 2018

Is it me or are 3/4 of all TV ads sad ones mainly asking people to donate money??

Donkeys that can't walk, famine, diseases, it almost every other advert in between June on that bluddy life cover ad.

Does me head in.

Once or twice when I've been off in the week.

Worst part about the charity advert thing is the wedge the bosses get.

No, the salaries of some of the CEOs. The Cancer Research CEO is on 240k

Are the people they get in for the starving African adverts actors? Some real dedication to get down to the weight to play those parts.

Adverts are like jedi mind tricks. They only work on the weak minded. They play on those susceptible to emotion, vanity, jealous etc.

Want to buy a watch? It was once owned by a man who owned a lovely puppy that died and now the puppy needs the cash to pay the vets for the puppy disease it has. You'd look really good with it on your wrist, a bit like David Beckham or Brad Pitt. Loads of good looking people have a watch like this, I bet you wish you did.
