Daytime TV ads

[kayos]

Stuck indoors today with man flu. TV ads driving me insane!

"No win no fee, so you keep 100% of your compensation - guaranteed."

Eh, excuse me "no win no fee" strongly suggests that if you win, you pay a fee! And where, pray tell, do you get the money to pay the lawyer's fee?.......................... Oh that's right, out of your compensation money!!

Wonga - "Cash in minutes." Borrow £400 for 30 days and pay back ONLY £525.48. So a mere £125.48 in interest, in a month!!
An astronomical 4214% interest per annum!! Now if a person can't get a bank loan, because of bad credit, debts, or low wages, how the f£ck can they afford a loan at these rates?!

Makes me totally sick...........and I'm already sick.

Need to get back to work before I put my boot through the TV screeen!!

Donkeys, bears, tigers, dogs and cats...............oh and children. In my house, Lynn gets really upset about abused animal adverts, yet is strangely quiet when the ones with children come on!

I think it is because we can't really come to terms with the conditions children live in, so we try to ignore it, as it would drive us crazy if we thought about it too much.

It's the donkeys and dogs I've got soft dot for

Haha you're right! I'm going out tonight to tutor a couple of students, two and a half days in the house and I'm going nuts. Still doesn't change the fact that these ads are a disgrace!

It"s the give to children in Africa etc that gets me, this country has been giving to them for years, and still not much improvement, should send them
a few crates of contraceptives, that will put a stop to help the children.

Oh controversial Steve. The culture is too have loads of children because so few survive, partly because they have too many children. It's a vicious circle. Education and aid is the key, to provide clean water, arable land, sanitation etc.

On a lighter note....i think the new barclays advert is funny, having a 20 year old daughter who is in the process of saving to buy a house...with my help...
The look on the fathers face at the end is priceless

Why arent there adverts that GIVE you money, with no catches...
