On second thoughts, maybe the advertising spiel for that new Datsun wasn't so bad after all...

Awful beyond words!

Fucking awful, as are the outpourings of unbridled knee-jerk patriotism in the comments section.

Couldn't watch it.

Did it comment on the car being 50 years technologically out of date, and awful in general?

It’s what made America great – war, sickly sweet film and trying to sell you a car on the back of it.  Only natural that an advert like that would come out.

 

Don’t be surprised if you squeeze an orange, and orange juice comes out of it.  But I still love the title of this thread

11/10 for sick-making, flag-waving patriotism shamelessly exploited to sell what isn't really a bad car, but I didn't have the same irresistible urge to hurl a flat-iron through the screen as I did when I saw this:

If I was in charge of marketing for Toyota/Peugeot/etc, I'd make sure this went viral across the Middle East, and possibly other places, too.

Always switch that off when it comes on, very, very irritating.

Note for advert makers - the sound of your magical, sweetheart spawn crying is music to your ears only.

In america, perhaps. Elsewhere it will have sold a lot of vomit tablets.

 

What's the matter with that nation? The rest of our old colonies turned out OK, why are the yanks such culturally-deficient, massively superficial and definition-stretchingly ignorant fucktards? Don't they realise how they look to the rest of the world?

 

(Answer: no, they probably don't realise there IS a rest of the world, except perhaps those bits they're currently illegally invading and stealing resources from)

They seriously don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of them, which is probably why they get into so much bother.

The Mustang and VW ones are both utterly un-watchable, for different reasons.

Just about everything I watch on telly these days is recorded on the hard drive, I haven't had to sit through a TV advert for years. :)

 

This VW one always made me chuckle though..

I thought the Halifax ad with the DIY centre woman was an ad for B&Q until I saw the end of it.
Probably not the most focused of advertising then.

As for the US patriotic stuff? It's all mince.

None of them are as bad as the recent BMW ad for the latest 3 series. " a new definition of space".So, various illustrious scientists need not have bothered with years of research then.................

The only thing that Mustang advert made me want to rush out and buy is Gaviscon.

 

Not all Americans are like that though - the Daily Show has been going for years and gets a good audience, despite tearing things like this to shreds. It just seems that now it's got to a point where it's 'unpatriotic' to criticise most things in America, with the effect of quietening down much of the dissent.

 

As for the VW advert, what is the point of stop-start technology on a Tiguan? If you're that bothered about saving fuel, why not just buy a Golf instead? - rather than a Golf on stilts with added heavy (and probably never used) 4x4 gubbins. Having said that, it's very well targeted though. The sort of mongs who insist on buying a 4x4 to ferry ickle Jeremy/Tristram/Sebastian around in (because the NCAP's turned up to 11 or something) are the sort of idiots who think they can do their bit to save the planet at the same time because their engine turns itself off at traffic lights.

as a decorated ex serviceman who has suffered PTSD, Depression and near suicide due to the effects of returning from war, i am also a younger brother of a serviceman who lost his life in the Falklands war i for one wish the UK would do adverts like the mustang one. i walk around with my gulf war veteran T shirt or my HFH T shirt and no one takes a bit of notice in the UK, in fact Fusilier Lee Rigby lost his life for doing just that. my wife is american and when i wear those T shirts over there everyone stops to shake my hand and say "thank you for your service"

the comments made by some on here about the pride americans have for their servicemen  sums up this country............ shite!

 

FFS think before you post stuff like that as i for one find it so disgraceful that we act like this, its no wonder most of our ex servicemen suffer when they are faced with this sort of attitude.

 

ban me if you want but you really need to take a hard look at yourself and work out if you are worthy to make such comments, me i don't think you are!!!

 

 

OK... I'm sorry for your condition and your loss, but let's not lose track of reality here.

 

Sending soldiers to fight in distant countries has got FUCK ALL to do with protecting our "freedom", or whatever unscrupulous politicians choose to call it. It's all about maximising profits and financial opportunity for the top few percent of earners in the country - this, not the wellbeing of the populace, is what is meant when they say "British interests". And apart from a few exceptions, e.g. World War II where the enemy was an intolerable ideology dead set on a war of conquest, it always has been like this.

 

I know the armed forces don't have a say in how they're used, but if you're going to do that job you need to understand that you're NOT always representing the best interests of the British population. In fact, the presence of our armed forces in the sovereign territory of other states is often the very thing that puts us all here in Britain in danger, e.g, from terrorist attacks.

 

So please have a good think about what you wrote and get down off your high horse. "Worthy", for fuck's sake.

As somebody with some experience of the armed forces, the one thing I can tell you with some degree of certainty is that people who post stuff on the internet like what is quoted above, claiming to decorated ex-servicemen, are highly unlikely to be anything of the sort.

 

He might of had a bruise from playing paintball once or something.
