You may have seen the Hidden Hearing Ads, On the ITV News Channel or somwhere.
Well at the moment there is a new ad with the Man who used to present Wish You Were Here - John Somthing.
Well before this ad there was another one - I guess with the company Exec or somthing - he can't be an actor (he's way to bad).
Well this Ad was hillarious, it made me laugh for all the wrong reasons.
Did anyone else see the ad, and has someone got it?

I saw a really bad ad like that a couple of years ago, I think it was for the same company. But it was badly dubbed and on screen it was giving out the wrong telephone number.

But most of the ads on the ITV News Channel are like that, or are usually for loans and insurance. But the best one at the moment is the one for the 2 Ab Belts for £20! That is so hilarious and is really poorly dubbed, it is worth watching the ITV News Channel just for that.

Oh I've seen that one, is it the infomerial one with the lady who claims to be wearing such a thing while doing the links for the infomercial?

Challenge are particularly fond of showing this at mealtimes, just the sort of thing you want to see, vibrating flab (wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't the same zooming in piece of film used four times throughout the infomercial). Mad

The worst advert on TV is the new one for "Diamond" car insurance, with three women discussing their insurance. It brings new meaning to the term "dreadful acting" !

Anyway, home come they can get away with "Car Insurance only for women." Obviously it's only the women that have the accidents ( Laughing ) but if there was a "blokes only" car insurance there'd be a public outcry!

Seems like a very anti ITV forum... plenty of threads forecasting ITV's doom...

There's also a sequel now with the same women, and one with a man but the same musical bed

Most annoying ad is that one for Confused.com which starts with a loud 'Aaaaaaaah' at the start

Oh and has everyone seen that new 118 118 advert?

Big Deal! I thought most of us were anti-generic - and ITV1 is totally generic nowadays!

Yeah, I've seen it too, but that lady's a liar, surely. And that gadget would a waste of anyone's money - surely they don't work?

urgh
11 88 88 is better.

Hold the phone sister - I'm off to get one of Pat Murhpy's ab belt things, they are so comfotable you can wear them under your clothes. Not only that but I can wear them while I set up my insurance company for straight white Christian men who dirve uneconomical cars.
