hirez: More graf. Same place as the other one. (Information Hazard)

I'm sure most are aware of the common structure of television adverts:

o Introductory sentence outlining alleged problem.
o (Beat)
o Solution!

I've now subjected myself to enough commercial television that one advert is leaking into any other with that format.

It goes:

o Introductory sentence outlining alleged problem.
o (Beat)
o "Go compare!"

I await the point where it leaks into media objects of longer form.

I realllllllly hate those Go compare ads...they actively put me off looking at their website incase it plays music at me.
It actually make the meerkat ads bareable to watch.

all the Ads on tv atm seem to be bloody comparrison website, sell you car or "burgle houses and sell the gold for cash" adverts.

The only bareable comparison site ad thats even bareable is the confused.com one but it still pisses me off due to the logo that looks like it was draw by a 3 yearold

Sky+ and/or Bittorrent means never watching ads anymore. True fact.
