The trailer does look rather nice, doesn't it?

The earlier ones were entertaining, but they really started going downhill a whgile ago. Although the Seagal one was a great return to form.

The trailer does yes, but if you look closely you can see where they've folded up what I'm sure will be a turgid four hours of screen time.

Though I hope at least one hour of that will be Jack Sparrow being entertaining, as opposed to the 30 minutes of him being a cock in the second film.

"meenaralsch" - my new favourite advert....

I think I just saw out of the corner of my eye a H&M advert with Kylie, not that it particularly matters, but she doesn't exactly define either word.

It does explain away my confusion at seeing some of the normal sized girls here discussing the place in the shopping thread.
I just figured they had expanded and now supplied clothes of every size, I am so cutting edge.

No, it's the end of a cleaning ad (I think). Basically, the main body of the ad happens, they say the name of the product, then the toilet bit shows up at the end. However, the toilet bit doesn't really seem to be part of the rest of the ad so it looks like it is a separate ad. I've only seen it once, so I don't know the product, but it is part of a larger ad.

I've just seen an ad for Budweiser where they have a rubber floor so as not to break bottles when they drop them. Cue "hilarious" hijinks of bouncing bottles, remote controls and dogs everywhere.
At no time did they show someone opening a bottle and getting showered in low-quality beer.

There hasn't been a decent alcohol advert since the "Wassup!" campaign and that got old quick.

I was really pissed off when I first saw the Cravendale ads 'cause I thought they'd done a lazy-ad-exec rip off of
Pic Pic Andre's Panic Au Village series of stop-motion animations. Turns out, thankfully, that it's actually Pic Pic Andre (two Belgian animators) directing them.
Phew! It's okay, everyone. You can like them now.

I'm comfortable with the blind-spots in my musical taste. Besides which, it's not like I'm going to buy the song, but if it comes on the radio I won't turn the volume down.

Special K Bliss Bars. A woman pours the ingredients of a bliss bar into a hand bag with a big scoop and then produces a small Bliss Bar of only 99 calories. All very well and good, but does it put anyone else in mind of the advert for anti-constipation drugs where a woman fills her handbag with everything she's eaten that day. I can't help but think that the Bliss Bar lady's bag is full of poo underneath the Bliss Bar.
