Good, bad, ugly in ads, adverts, advertising

'Alexa, play my Rainy Day playlist'...

CUNT

Definitely and every Christmas advert can fuck right off too.

the 'Daddy I want a MacBook Pro' fucking PC World/Currys one

and the new 'Mrs Claus' M&S one

fuck.right.off

The other annoying thing about that is if you have an Echo it lights up and starts talking to you on hearing its name.

i don't understand what problems these gadgets are trying to solve.

'Alexa, add Anusol to my shopping list'

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" in Roy's voice obviously.

i don't understand what problems these gadgets are trying to solve.

yeah exactly what I thought - you can do all that shit from your phone anyway?

Any freelance art directors on here?

Can put you in touch with a good freelance CD if you want? He's down under though, so gotta be remote

Nah, London or Brighton based for Jan. Cheers though - that said feel free to ping across a site or portfolio - we do have some remote stuff from time to time. Unless it's teenslain.

You can't afford me...

Serious question: what the fuck is an art director?

Loads of different types, mate... I'm an editorial Art Director... When I can be arsed, which is not at all atm...

Detesting the EE ads with Slimy Bacon and thats before his latex gimp suit appears. Even Britney isn't enough to redeem it.

Nationwide Building Society poemy adverts are utterly hateful. There's been a different one for each of the last three ad breaks I've seen.

Who watches ad breaks any more?

I'm not proud. I wasn't watching the programme that surrounded them either.
There's a fucking Andrex one on now as I type this with children saying how clean they feel after taking a dump. What a load of shit, pun intended.

planning a holiday? try apartheidland!
