Two New Reasons To Hate Ad Breaks

1) Current advert for a cola drink - boy uses powers of fizzy pop to tidy girlfriends room. At least, I think that's what happens. The advert doesn't quite make things very clear. At the end, surrounding buildings start to explode (which feels a bit unfair on the neighbours). I presume the brand is happy they spent what was obviously a lot of money on something confusing which hints their product is evil. Oh, and when did you last see someone attractive in an advert? Suddenly, all the supposedly beautiful people are vacant, utterly forgettable nobodies or smug face-aches (I'm thinking of Mickey - the fool from the hair gunk advert out last year).

2) When buying insurance, have you ever been asked questions about beards or bread? No? Good - let's assume anyone that believes this has happened to him is mental, and completely untrustworthy. Ditto any firm using him in their adverts.
