Fuck You, Tesco

   Posted by: lyle    in Advertising, Cynicism, Festering Season

Bah, HumbugIn an early front-runner for “Smuggest advert of the Festering Season”, the fuckstick bastards at Tesco have dropped a blinder. Not just smug and insanely early, but as sexist and shit as it’s possible to be.

A rough version of the text (it’s engraved in my brain having seen the cocking advert once) goes as follows…

Toys.

Come December 25th there’ll be Action Man for boys and Barbie for girls.

And yes, we know it’s only October. But Christmas comes quickly round here.

Smug overbearing materialistic shit-flogging sexist fuckbag cunts. Fuck off with your shite, you weaselly tossbags.

iEverything

Bah, HumbugThe latest marketing ‘trend’ seems to be to emulate Apple by branding any given product with an “i” at the start, in the theme of iPod, iPhone, iDontCare etc. etc.

The one that boggles my brain more than usual in the current adverts is the Babyliss iTrim. It’s a fucking razor. Nothing iconic, nothing trendy. A fucking electric razor.  That’s it.

Of course, we’re now in the advertising run-up to the Festering Season, so it’s all go for adverts about shit like this, so I’m sure it’s not going to be the last product this year with an i at the start of the name.

It’s still bullshit though. Sorry, iBullshit.
