Anthropomorphism in advertising. Yeuch. No can do. Especially irritating right now is that TV advert where the dog starts showering himself when the owner goes to answer the front door. Can’t even think what it is attempting to advertise. So, not only is it deeply irritating but utterly ineffective.
Personally, I blame Johnny Morris (God rest his animal-loving soul).
OK. And worse than that: when they digitally manipulate babies’ mouths so it sounds as if they are making smart-ass comments about their parents who are discussing life insurance and wotnot. Double yeuch.

My salad dressing days 
worst ad = “touch n’fresh” one where small oriental boy does a smelly poo
best = at the moment the clarks shoes ads, esp the one with the bloke dancing
just me then…
Comment by suburban bantam May 17, 2005 @ 4:32 pmi’m with you on the touch’n’fresh ad and the lip sync is also very poor (= cheap)
as for clarks shoes ads: love ’em, love ’em, love ’em (this may not surprise you)
