I had finally, FINALLY expunged those Halifax ads from my memory and now you've unleashed the absolute horror of them on me all over again. And I say them, because I never realised there's a whole SERIES of the fucking things. Now, the first one, ISA ISA, it's OK. As in, Tom Green's magnum opus, Freddy Got Fingered, is OK compared to the rest of his "portfolio". The play on words was funny (albeit once) and it had that bloke out of one of the best Doctor Who episodes ever. Now the second, one (which seems to have been airbrushed from history, and yes, I did look) simply borrows a "yeah, yeah, yeah" clip from a Stereo MCs song and involves some guff about the office bully nicking some other bloke's car keys...Drive your car?....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah....Shag your wife? Yeah, Yeah, Yeah....Up the shitter? Yeah, Yeah, Yeah....FUCK OFF! Sorry, I don't normally swear like this, but I'd rather insert knitting needles coated with chili powder in my bollocks than sit through that lot again. And it's all YOUR fault, AdTurds. I hope you're happy.
Haha. Well reading your posts made me happy but maybe not for expressly annoying you. Remarkable how their awfulness pervades the darker, deeper recesses of the brain up til even a decade later.

Well they are all absolute stinkers but I think I would have to vote for Tesco if I can only pick one.
Admittedly it a a rock and a hard place. If both rock and hard place are ten truly abysmal adverts.
