It's memorable but I agree it's bloody annoying and it would put me off trying it in the first place.

I cannot abide Shamless

As for adverts, if you get the Halifax ad, the chewy ad above and the "Theyre gonna taste great", mixed in with a picture loan ad and any generic european ad with bad dubbing and well I'm just ready to jump under a train and be done with it!!!

Then you definitely won't want to watch the program that it's advertising. (Kill, Cook, Eat)

You should really question your consumption of meat though if you aren't prepared to watch the whole process.

Why not - it was an animal that was killed so you could eat it?

I don't eat meat - but I do eat fish and I am happy to catch a fish, kill it, prepare it and eat it.

I hate the Kia C'EED advert with the jump cuts and the stupid voice over - here, there, where, why...


I do ask myself why?!

I actually find the fish thing quite upsetting. Sheep and cattle are stunned instantly, or have their throats cut which is almost as fast.

Fish end up suffering for quite some period of time as they eventually die slowly from lack of oxygen.

Depends if you're catching your own. I'll generally cosh a trout while still on the hook 3 seconds after it comes out of the water. Not much suffering there.

Now fish caught at sea in nets, they're the ones that 'drown'.

It's funny to tell the above to the liberal ***** who think that banning fishing is a good idea now they've had their way with fox hunting.

"Next time you're eating your breadcrumbed fillet from the freezer or probably even in that nice resteraunt, remember that the fish choked for about 5 minutes so you could eat it, whereas my trout diner went 'Woah this fly in my gob is a strong bugger, wait whats that light, **** me I feel heavy (conk, lights out)"

That's generally what I mean - the holier than thou crowd don't normally catch their own fish but will happily act smug in restaurants by saying they only eat fish, while stating they are opposed to eating proper meat.

Isnt that the whole point, it would be called 'Upstanding' or 'Respectable' otherwise.

Anyway, they are going to be filming it in Wythenshawe soon, we both came from round there.

The worst adverts are the ones that edit together loads of comments from the same person and makes them sound a bit like Rowley Birkin or a tourettes victim (usually toothpaste adverts)

"I really like...italian ice cream...and we'd gone on holiday...sensitive teeth..so my dentist reccommended...made completely out of rubber"

Well I sit in restaurants and eat fish but not meat - however it has absolutely nothing to do with ethics or the way they are killed. And if people want to eat meat it is fine by me

Enjoy

I thought that fish had a memory of about 7 seconds. So, the fish is there thinking "oh god, I cant breathe, help, help" 7 seconds later "hmmm, what am I? oh, must be a fish, but I cant breathe" then its dead?

Fish don't think on that level. That's why they're still fish.
