I have seen that add for mens deodorant, that has gorgeous women leaping on the wearer, or at least throwing themselves at his feet.

I have seen the other adds where the male star has not shaven for a day or 3, the stubble or 5 o’clock shadow inferring strong attractive masculinity.

I have seen the blond surfer with his tousled locks attracting the ladies in droves. And I have seen them ogling the bloke in the lovely convertible.

Well I bought some of that smelly stuff, used it liberally, & didn’t shave, which I admit left more a silver haze than dark shadow. I thought my silver hair was pretty close to blond, so didn’t use a comb after driving my lovely convertible sports car to town. I don’t usually drive this car to town, as it is too nice for car park dings.

I must admit I am disillusioned. There were many attractive ladies in town today, but not one leapt on me, or even threw themselves at my feet.

Do you think I am doing something wrong, or could these adverts be exaggerating the effectiveness of their products?

"Don't believe TV adds".

TV adds what?

As to the efficacy of the products, I'm in agreement. I used the deodorant in question and certainly didn't notice ANY increase in the number of women throwing themselves at me. Just the usual 50% or so.

Hi there HASBEEN...

These damn ads get right up my nose - " Ring the 'M...O' Clinic and get the 'all on 4' to give you that great smile once more". "After all we invented the process" If I could find the originator of that ad, I would do a Mexican Hat Dance on his bloody face! He'd need far more than 'All on 4' to help him out, believe me! Almost every damn second, we're assailed with this annoying, "All on 4" Ad. and boy, do you get utterly sick of it.

I use my personality to fend off the hordes of deranged females that seek my company after I use a cheap underarm deo.

Dear Hassie,

One of my favourite TV commercials has to be
Nick "Honey Badger" Cummins, and the TRADIE
workwear commercial.

His phrases - like " Tough as a woodpecker's lips,"
"Cradle for his clackers," and "Well butter my buns
and call me biscuit!" and - "fart filter," are a hoot.

Totally believable!

What gets to me is that pouting or pursing of the lips expression of all young people in any photo that gets taken of them lately.

You wallet will work far better

I believe each and every TV ad that I see - all 00000000000000000000000000000000000 of them!

Keep your precious eyes and your precious brain intact, don't allow them to be scratched and contaminated by such rubbish - throw out your television set(s) if you still have any and go get a life!

My favourite is the one for (against) using the Emergency Departments of SA hospitals, no doubt especially the one at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital. The doctor/actor exhorts anybody with serious injuries, say broken legs or arms, to go home, lay in bed very quietly, keep their limb straight, get a carer and wait for it to heal. If someone is very ill, see a GP. If it's just a cold, take a few pills and have a good lie-down. And for minor ailments, tough it out. Whatever you do, don't overload the emergency department.

Well, that's my take on it. Given the ramping of ambulances at the new RAH, up to seventeen of them at a time, probably it's all good advice. For god's sake, don't have an accident or get crook in Adelaide.

I enjoy the McDonalds adds. They show their burgers are big, juicy, plump, delicious burgers. And when I get to my favorite Scottish Restaurant I am pleasantly surprised to discover the burgers are even bigger, juicier, plumpier, and more delicious than portrayed in the advertising. I am also comforted in the thought that one cent in every hundred dollars I spend goes towards building a new house for my favorite, favorite, person of all times, Ronald McDonald.
I often record the McDonalds adds so when I want really enjoyable television I can replay them at my pleasure, for hours on end in fact. If I'm not down at my second home McDonlds Family Restaurant, I at my place blissfully enjoying a McDonalds take home Happy Meal, or three, and watching my favorite TV program of course, the Ronald McDonald Show.
BTW; For all you singles out there, I do believe after all these years Ronald is still unattached. Those rumours about Ronald have a sexual relationship with Grimace are scandaless hog wash, they are only good friends!

I bought a can of fly spray and sprayed it all over myself.
I still can't fly...

I guess they forgot to mention it doesn't work on ugly people.

Anyone seen the latest add where the husband is
sitting in a doctor's office waiting for his
wife who's in for a check-up. When she comes out
he asks her how the check-up went? She replies
that the doctor told her they should "pork more often!"
Her husband replies calmly - "Righto."

Then the next scene is they're both at home enjoying
dinner of pork and a salad.

It's hilarious, especially
the reaction of the doctor's receptionist when she hears
the wife say that she and her husband should "pork more
often."
