    Default What do TV ads tell you?

    I will start this off.

    There is currently that car ad (hehe no idea what car) with the cat people, one steals some fish and drives off.

    This ad tells me the car is so darn expensive that if you buy one you will have to steal your supper

    I dont think ads are aimed at me

    Actually I think the point is that if you gotta steal something, then it's the right car to have for a super quick getaway! I think you're supposed to look past the stealing bit

    Oh ok, I never really "got" what that ad was supposed to mean . I just thought it was a little weird actually (but love the cats being distracted by the light though I have to say).... makes sense though I suppose

    I only caught half of that ad, once.. don't watch much tv.

    but I couldn't stop giggling at the thought of peak-hour and ninja cat drivers.

    LOL I had never even thought of that. Ad's are so not aimed at me.

    Anyone else have funny ad interpretations?

    Actually there is one ad that irritates the stuffing out of me for the message that it is saying or what I get from it for birds eye farmers market where the mother and daughter pick the home grown veges and they are too small so they try to fool the family with the frozen stuff.
    Basically I think that the ad is trying to say that our vege are bigger and better then home grown.

    (I should add that I do love the cat/car one its funny)

    We have an ongoing game/tradition called "What's the lie in that ad?" ... Generally we pick something slightly obscure as the answer, but you can play it with the really obvious things too.

    (On a serious note, I think it's a good thing to teach kids about the gimmicks/lies/techniques in advertising when they're young too. The Gruen Transfer was interesting watching. I think that's coming back again next year.)
