Default ASDA advert - my tv is at risk of getting smashed in

If I hear Perry Como singing that fooking line in the ASDA Xmas ads I may just throw the dog at the tv.

Surely they're going to vary the 'music' they use as there's 'kin ages of ad time to come

Please, someone, anyone, MAKE IT STOP!

It just the 1st line. The rest doesn't bother me overly.

It's just constant and relentless. Every b@stard advert break seems to have one or even 2 ASDA ads. They must be spending millions to annoy me.

Could be due to the fact that they have recently had 3 of their ads banned for misrepresentation

coca cola normally do a seasonal advert too, but cant say i have seen one of those yet ?

i normally burst out into song with the Asda one in an operatic way, I think this adds to the original but our lass may not agree

Aye, me too. I've done some work for them, and their boss, Lord Someone-or Other "allows" his warehouse staff to work 80+ hour weeks in the run up to Christmas, but only pays them time-and-a-third over 40 hours

Meanwhile, he owns several Van Goghs..........Cheap b@stard

Superb! the director must be climbing the walls seeing it happened so close to christmas.

I get the impression the likely reason for the complaints was to just get the things off the telly to begin with.

Dfs -Dodgy f****n sofas.

The thing is - you do not have to watch it, you can turn it off or to another channel - oh and shpp elsewhere - vote with you feet and wallet!

The Chavvy Catona and Jason Donnovan is the one that gets me - and the irony of all that 'snow' around them. i am sure that unwittingly they might have been rolled the odd note up between their fingers and look whistfully and all that white powder

I don't shop at ASDA

It's just that song on the ad - it comes on without warning. It's just plain cruel!
