Is it just me...

...or does anyone else get the urge to smash their television when that irritating-as-fuck Virgin Media ad appears lately? I don't know if it's the co-opting of the Suffragettes to sell broadband or Paloma Faith that irritates me more.

I haven't felt this wound up by an advert since those shitty one-to-one ads that Vodaphone ran some years back, particularly the one exploiting Martin Luther King to flog mobile phones...grr!!!

I bet it plays a lot too. That's what usually eventually gets me. Over playing it. I never seen it before. Kinda mushy but not overly annoying. But I haven't had to listen to it multiple times.

Don't you folk hold off on advertisements until end of show? Or every 7 minutes or so like over here.

That is fucking terrible. The whole time I thought about taking my own life.

And that song.

Not ever, ever that song.

Using the women's liberation movement to sell things is an old tradition.
