Best and worst TV ads"I'd like to give that dodo off the 5 Alive adverts a good kicking," says tom.joad. And luckily, there's tasty, tasty Cillit Bang to clean up the blood stains when you've finished. Tell us about TV adverts.

Oh I forgot the other kind of advert I hateThe ones that make me feel guilty for being a bit poor, the ones with little David who hasn't had a glass of clean water for a year or little Aisha who has to walk 10 miles to school and back everyday :(
I hate how they get to you by showing you the sad bit, then the happy bit with the kids playing next to a clean well (wasting the new water might I add) and then back to the sad bit again.
I do care about these things and I understand that they have to make appeals but I just wanted to say that I don't like the way they make me feel, helpless and guilty, like even though I donate to different charities multiple times a year when I have spare cash, these make me feel like I'll go to hell if I don't do more.

I've made a promise to myself that if I ever see one of those adverts and NONE of the poor people look right into the camera at any point, I will donate.My money is still waiting here.
Check them out. They always have one of the children/cripples/starving looking right into the camera (usually the closing shot) to make them feel like they are looking at YOU.
