Apparently people have cut their fingers on the opened tins while trying to copy the antics in the advert.

There's no legislation against stupidity.

I think they should have to put a warning on the tin about the windy effect the contents can have. Smile

seriously though, some companies do not seem to realise how harmful their adverts can be to their businesses. Here I instance those whose products are rammed down your throat everytime you go online. I make a point of definitely NOT buying those products. I am sick to death of the invasion of my privacy by those who think that because I look at one item then I wish to spend the rest of the month looking at similar ones.

Google, Microsoft ,et al, have  a lot to answer for.

When as kids we 'invented' the beans can telephone with a length of string, no ring pulls then just a ragged edge to ram up to your ear, those were the days Happy

YellThe worse advert ever, which I find absolutely disgusting, is the one with the blokes dressed in tight shorts and high heels and doing pole dancing; wonder what message that sends out - yuk
