adverts, eastenders and rl

Dec 11, 2008 23:12


Has anyone seen those weird Flirtal adverts yet? They're mainly showing on E4 and feature three girls in 'sexy Santa' outfits singing the annoying jingle "I think I need a text" to encourage viewers to, um, text them apparently... for no other reason than the implied possibility of receiving a text from one of said scantily clad girls in response.

:D I actually adore your random blogs about adverts :D They make me miss TV yet also be glad I don't have to see some of them! Well, until tomorrow :D
I also love how shitty some adverts.
Like "0800 2 1500" - Lombard Direct.com. I WILL NEVER ERASE THAT NUMBER.
Just like the Ocean Finance one *shudder*

Happy Birthday to your mum! :) Opening presents over Skype sounds awesome :D

And yet again I get the feeling I should watch Eastenders... ><

Haha, glad my weird advert obsession appeals to someone :P
OMG that number is burned into my brain... like 0800 00 1066 - Hastings Direct. Fucking cocktards.

Lol thanks, I'll tell her you said so :) It was, but then they ate cake and I couldn't have any :( Buggers. I'm going home tomorrow though, for the birthday meal thing, so there'll be cake aplenty then!

Haha, you should, if only so I can have another person to talk about it with :P iPlayer...

Hehehe :) It makes me lol :D
OMG I HATE THAT NUMBER. The little dude and his log car >< The random talking phone. A nodding dog saying "OOOOHHHH yes!" Such things will define our culture for generations to come ><

Hehe :) But aw, that's not so fun :( But cake tomorrow! :D

LOL. Maybe one day :)

Awesomesauce.
I actually had an argument with a lecturer today about adverts... she used the Tesco Bing Crosby Xmas ad as an example in the lecture slides but kept referring to it as the Asda ad, and I couldn't not correct her. Everyone looked at me, and I'm fairly sure I've cemented my reputation as 'the weird one' :P

Yay for cake :D One of the foods there's always more room for.

You never know...

LOL. I can totally picture you doing that :D *virtual high-five!* I love correcting tutors - it makes my day :D
Even if I didn't see my tutor today because I missed my last seminar by being in bed and dying :(

This is so TRUE. I just went out to a Christmas meal, barely ate the main, but the pudding? Nearly entirely disappeared :D
It wasn't cake, but chocolate/orangey torte thing? I can make room for that :D

:P

*high five back*
I don't usually bother, but adverts are something I actually care about :P
Which probably says something about me.

Oh, no, dying? What? Why? *hugs*

Ooh, nice :D Sort of like a cake version of Terry's chocolate orange?

Lol. Adverts :) Pish tush. I get to watch the beginning of Gladiator a million times for my next CFM assignment :D Love that film.
:P It says good things! I think...

I'm ill :( It sucks. Like, BIG TIME.

Well, it was a sort of torte/cheesecake type thing, but basically, close :D

That's a great film, and has Merlin linkage because ANDREAS PETRIDES DID THE STUNTS FOR THAT TOO!

Oh, that's gay :( I hope you feel better soon.

Hmm, sounds nice :D

Thank you :) Me too. Stupid illnesses ><

:D:D It was quite. I'd've preferred cake :D

I KNOW, RIGHT? *grins*

Illness is retarded :(

Cake never fails.

:DD:D:D:D:D:D

It so is. I wouldn't advise it :) I don't even feel like writing fic :( I'm not even in the mood for -reading-. :(

It never does. Unless it's stale. Or carrot cake. Or fruitcake :(

Oh no :( Must be some illness, to leave you that out of sorts!

I will never understand why the cake of such an awesome day as Xmas is as horrible as fruitcake.
And I know Santiago Cabrera likes it, but carrot cake is gross. Also pointless because if you're going to go to all the effort of making a cake, don't go and try and make it healthy! The most counterintuitive cake EVER.

I know :( It's indeed sadtimes :(

I KNOW. IT IS STUPID.
Chocolate is the best :D Or rainbow cake. Or basically anything but fruit/carrot cake :D IT IS SO STUPID.

*hugs you muchly*

STUPID CAKE IS STUPID.
Ice cream cake is nice :D And ginger cake.
Victoria sponge cake's my favourite... it's always underestimated, but still tastes bloody amazing.

:D:D:D *loves you muchly*

IT REALLY IS. ALL CAKE SHOULD BE NICE CAKE.
Not had ice cream cake. And I prefer ginger biscuits :)
Vicky sponge is nice, as long as it's not dry >< Stupid Kipling dry sponges. Almost ruined my love of victoria sponge :(
Just made home-made cake is the best :D

I'm off too bed now :) G'night!
Just so you know I'm not going to reply and all :)

*also loves you*

IT REALLY SHOULD.
I'd take ginger cake over ginger biscuits, but then I'm not much of a biscuit lover really.
Kipling dry sponges? Clearly I've luckily missed them thus far.
Definitely (defo LOL).

Sweet dreams, my lovely.
No worries. I won't be replying to anything until I'm back at uni on Sunday, although I fully intend my review post to be up when I've watched the episode tomorrow night.
