What's wrong with marketing people nowadays? Watching The Block and seeing ads for mortgage loans, insurance and prepackaged foods all being advertised by 8 year old kids.
Why would anyone tune into a mortgage loan ad with a precocious 8 year old advertising it? Seems ridiculous.

Perhaps you should stop watching commercial TV, BO? ABC or SBS are far better - both in programmes and the lack or choice of commercials.Black Orchid wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 8:22 pmWhat's wrong with marketing people nowadays?

You can watch what you want but it appears you're not enjoying the experience going by your whinging, BO. You don't have to put up with commercials on ABC and the commercials on SBS are better quality than those you describe. Choice is yours.Black Orchid wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 3:35 pmPerhaps I will continue to watch what I want? There's a thought

Re: Whinge thread
Same here but why would anyone wanting a new mortgage tune into an ad with an 8 year old and a doll?

Whinge for the day!
Google Chrome decided to update itself without asking me. I didn't realise you had to check it as "ask" in settings and I hate hate hate the new look. Especially the tabs up top.
I also had to re-login to every website I use and had forgotten half of my passwords. Then I had to deal with half a dozen of those idiotic CAPTCHA things. UGH!!
Don't know why they can't leave well enough alone.
