Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted September 24, 2009 I suppose these could go into the "Fings aint wot they used to be thread", however, they are adverts and probably demonstrate that todays offerings really are no cleverer or better than yesteryears. Those of you of a certain age ( me) will remember these first time round. Lets go back to the 70s!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqBa7eay6Fo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminator 13 Posted September 24, 2009 I could never believe seeing the original yescarcredit ads, where people asking will they be able to buy a car - despite a dodgy credit history - were told yes you WILL. A few years later, the upbeat message is yes you CAN. I reckon the litigious backlash from their inability to understand auxiliary verbs was behind it. Why didn't they employ an advertising geek with a semplance of basic grammar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madcow 6 Posted September 29, 2009 Why in the dreadful Muller Yoghurt advert do they have to squawk 'got my cherry' twice? Could they not think of another fruit? Or was someone really proud of their virginity? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
