Persil "penguin" advert

[ali_alic]

Now, I am the first to admit to be anti-children (bitter twisted spinster that I am) and cutesy adverts make me want to honk up, but the little boy in this advert that wants to be a police man (not a policeman, but a police man) is sooooo gorgeous I just want to grab him and hug him. Any other images/moments that have made you change a long-standing point of view!!

That one, and the kid on about the poo stick, tho cant think of what advert thats for. That kid on the persil advert looks really familiar though - I keep thinking he was in My Hero with Ardal O hanlon for some reason. I am very bitter twisted and anti-children myself, but I love that kid on that advert - the one on the double velvet advert makes me want to chuck up tho. its so annoying! Damn Tv for making me feel broody for once in my life!!!

Yup, kow the ad you mean - tho its the kid witht he "light sabre" in that one I like. isn't that a sign of a bad advert tho - when youcan't remember the product. The Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins ad for Martini/Cinzano/Dubonet was a prime example - no-one could rememnber which drink it was for.
If you are still sufferig from broodiness, watch the BT advert with Chris whatshisname in it or the Frosties advert - those kids will put you off having any of your own!!

Yeah, I know what you mean about the BT kids - the one when the girl opens that toy holder thing and they go everywhere-I would have be-headed all her teddies and dolls and put them around her room to scare the life out of her when she woke up the next morning!
And the one with the kid watching the wisp air freshener thing - god I want to scream at him to shut up and stop being a smart a*se by counting up to 300 or whatever he does! Advertise all you want big companies, kids in your adverts just puts me off buying your products!!!

What about the kid sitting on the toilet and looking at the smelly thing. He sits on there, realises that the de-smelly machine needs replenishing, puts a note under the door, his mum then goes and gets a new one, unwraps it, reloads it and the kid is still sitting on the toilet. Would have thought she would have worried about that!!

[welshfox]

Yeah, if your kid is that age, takes a pen and paper into the loo and then draws the air freshener rather than tell you its empty, something is seriously wrong. Plus, I didn't think that young boys, well, males of any age, would be bothered by the smell - most of the guys I know use the smell as a sign of triumph or status!
