Magnum advert

i get really freaked out by that Magnum 5 senses advert, where the people are sort of grey green tinged and this person's licking the other's neck in one bit but it just makes me think of corpses..
anyone else freaked out by this or other adverts? saying this i also got scared watching an advert for the skeleton key at the cinema :cool:
no but tbh none of their adverts have ever made me want to buy that ice cream, they look really desperate and stupid
magnums are nice though in honesty.

But far too expensive and the multipack ones are TEEEEEEEENY! Yes they're gorgeous, but not worth the price!

Go for Iceland "Majestics" - at the moment you get a 4-pack for £1!!!! That's 25p per "Majestic" (they're practically magnums, and bigger!)

Not advertising or owt lol, I just think they're great :biggrin:

And the advert is stupid, it looks like some sort of Calvin Klein advert...but for ice cream lol! :rolleyes:

Ah yes, I keep forgetting to start a topic about this. I have to see this advert a lot as a result of my work and I always amaze people by saying that the Magnum 5 senses advert is... wait for it - a 12A! An icecream advert has been certified a 12A - funny situation but ridiculous advert. Then again, I've got problem with premium ice cream in the first place...

Dammit, why is the power of suggestion so strong?
Hmm, I want a mini milk. A vanilla one. I discovered the other day that they also make chocolate ones, but they aren't as nice.
I want a guiness. Oh yes i've got one lol.

Anyone tried skinny cows? They're really nice - just like normal icecream, but with half the calories and a third the fat! mmmmmmmmmmmmm

I keep seeing adverts for those! But I like full-fat stuff, it tastes better. And damn you, Woodsy, now I want a Guinness too. Actually, I want a Bishop's Finger, but that's a weird thing to say. And Guinness would go better with my Mini Milk.

Hmm, virtual Guinness...
I'd forgive you for the delay if you gave me a beer.
lol you know I would if I could, which i can't, that's very disappointing. If only I had you in a bar...

A guinness fan? Any Irish connection there?

Doesn't everyone drink Guinness? I am a bit Irish, but I'm a bit everything else as well...my family was Scottish, but fought on the wrong side in some battle and got thrown out of the country, had to flee to Ireland. The village we used to live in is naming its square after us.
An irish village? which county?

lol... yeh it is drank everywhere but you'd probably find those with an Irish connection and the Irish would drink it a lot more. It's still only brewed in Ireland (despite being a romantic that makes no business sense to me) lol.

A bar, a coffee at mine.... lol

I forget which county, but I might be going there in October.

Of course it makes perfect business sense (because obviously I have so much of that...): if it weren't brewed in Ireland, it wouldn't really be Guinness. But everyone drinks it, even the Swiss. Not drinking Guinness would be like not drinking coffee. Or possibly water.
