Default Crash Ad

Here I am,sitting at my computer,drinking a bottle of beer,watching tele,(See Girls,us blokes can Multi-task! ),then the advert comes on where the bloke in the Rover pulls-out on the 'bike........then SMACK!

Very good Advert,still makes me jump and gives me that sick 'feeling'.

It's a good ad, but it makes me cringe.

*shudders*h

sorry speedy don't understand the poll....

whats the question...?

do we prefer seeing ads that shock or not shock ?

or do we think ads that shock or not shock are better advertisments?


Personally I think ads that shock are better because they are the ones you remember. Like the drink driving advert with the guys and the the girl in the pub. I cringe just before she *throws" herself about because of the impact and the end result.

The most shocking ad I saw was the kids with the mobile crossing the road... that looks Sooo real.... (Hopefully someone will tell me its not).... but brilliant ad all the same

As far as the this ad itself goes, I think it's a very good advert. Gets its point across.

Still gives me goosebumps when I watch it too

I heard that it is in fact real. THe kid did get run over, and yeah he died. His parents consented to this footage being used as it gets the message across well.

RIP kidda.
