"Harry Bloomfield" wrote in message news on 21/11/2016, Rod Speed supposed : "Harry Bloomfield" wrote in message news Rod Speed formulated on Monday : 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 don't 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. 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. Yeah, one hell of an ad. Love to know how they did it, particularly with the boxer and its tongue etc. CGI, none of the animals are real ones. It is good, but you can just about tell it is CGI if you look close enough. that has ruined it for me...tee hee .... |
