I want to ban that B&Q Advert

Why is it so annoying? That song should have never been released back then and certainly should not be allowed to be played now under UK law.

Why do B&Q insist on torturing me in my home whilst laughing at me in my misery claiming that they 'got the power', and then have the cheek of wanting me to go and give them money at their store? This kind of lunacy shouldn't be allowed!

It's not just B&Q too, I found that these are the most sycned songs of 2014 in adverts:

Most synced songs 2014

> Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler (Innocent, Toyota Yaris Hybrid, Cadbury’s)
> The Final Countdown - Europe (Stride Gum, Tesco, O2)
> This Head I Hold - Electric Guest (Ikea, Ford EcoSport)
> Don’t - Ed Sheeran (Beats, O2 Priority)

Why are we being tortured with The Final Countdown still, the countdown never is the final, it lies.

On the bottom three songs, there is a space between the star and the song title. However, on the first song, there is no space between the star and song title... Is this intentional... or...

The best advert ever created
That slimy new Wonga advert needs banning, making them out to be some kind of homely company

I'll see your gorilla and raise you:

I haven't watched TV since I was little. Don't understand your pain.

Yes. CGI - the legs were stuck on to the man.
