Ok, I have held my tongue on this topic for as long as I can.

What the fuck is it with phone companies (providers, manufacturers, etc) having the most irritating music imaginable in their tv ads?

The advertising people parasites must have a checklist along the lines of
- logo
- product
- brief description
- mumbling bitch with an acoustic guitar as background music

Fuck you apple! Fuck you Telstra! Fuck you Vodafone!

i know the exact ones you mean

even holden do it now. theres these holden ads with the acoustic guitar in the background, while some guy talks about "here at holden, we undestand you want more from a car, with less fuss and to get on with life blah blah blah..." while they show images, not of cars, but of average people doing average things, like getting the shopping out of the car, going to the beach etc etc

i think its like an attempt to humanise the company, whatever that means...

I so agree!

The holden one is really annoying. All the songs sound the same in all those ads. I keep thinking that it must be a Gen Y thing or something...folksy arty twee-ness.

And I hate the new phone one where they put photos of birds and a fishtank all over the city! I think that has the wanky style music too. Lame-O!
