Is it just me or were we able to tolerate a small amount of advertising
in the past but now the quantity is unacceptible .....

I dont find that, there are still a few ads that are worth watching a
few times.

I agree - never mind the product they are trying to sell - that just
doesn't register with my consciousness, some of them can be quite amusing.

Yeah, I couldnt actually find any of the best of ours on youtube.

'Dads for kids' is one of them, someone has some real skill at getting
kids to do what they want them to do for the camera, particularly the
little kid pushing his toy lawnmower alongside his dad with a real one
and the one who bounces in the air when heading into the surf.

And that ants pants ad.

No idea of the product, but the one with the animals bouncing on the
bouncy thing, whilst the dog looked on, was quite amusing the first few
times.
