Default M & S Ad's

Is it me, or do these adverts, which include very close-up vids on some tasty looking foods, cause homer simpson like head back drooling sounds.

The womans voice just makes it worse 'these arn't just chocolate cakes, these are extra tasty, liquid chocolate, cream your pants cakes'

Perhaps Asda should do a p1ss take with a more common sounding voice, now that would be funny, 'These arent just oven chips, these are f*ckin bazzin crinkle cut deep fried chav chips'

The Belgian Chocolate sponge pudding things look delicious - they obviously are because we've not managed to find them in stock yet

Asda? wtf?

I couldn't find the choccy puddings to start with, but persevered - from all accounts, with the current consumer spending habits and the fact that M&S couldn't sell central heating to an eskimo, they didn't expect the campaign to be so popular. They got caught out

We had some of the Choccy puddings, I'm sure Iceland's couldn't be any worse they were AWFUL

Find the ad incredibly irritating who ever it is that does the voice.

Waitrose - that's the shop for me
