Dubbed Adverts - God! How I Hate Them! :tsktsk:

[Cullers]

Does anyone else share my absolute hatred *seeth* of the increasing number of dubbed advertisements on TV?

More and more adverts are obviously dubbed from a foreign language and whats more its so obvious!

Uncle Bens rice, seemingly every cleaning product or air freshner seems to be cheaply imported advertisements. No doubt car adverts are as well but at least you don't get the worst lip syncing that since 1970's Top of the Pops! I deliberately avoid buying products which are of this genre. grrrrrrr.... rant over! :)

I can't say that I had noticed......but I do tend not to really watch adverts on TV but utilise them to get a cuppa/beer etc.

I agree with you totally, why should we invest our hard earned money in these products if the company can't be bothered to invest their money in an advert aimed at the country they want to sell to.

Another thing that annoys me is car makers that don't swap the direction of the wiper blade sweep for the right hand drive market.

Having said all that, please can you keep buying Uncle Bens products as I work in the factory that produces them and it's their money that keeps my Lexus on the road. :winky:

Lol - fair enough about the Uncle Bens but I'd have thought it was an American company/brand? Don't understand why the advert (I am guessing) was originally done in French.

Two which spring to mind is the car ad with Fernando Alonso,it's almost as bad as a Hong Kong Kung Fu film

and the yoghurt ad with those emaciated women..

Not one of them bints has had much as a mouthful of rice crispies in their gob in the past 6 months never mind a yoghurt.

Yes, you are right, it is an American company.

It is part of the Mars (the chocolate bar) group.

Maybe they have had to save some money to pay for all the new equipment they are installing in our factory at the moment. :winky:

As LOC members I think we should fully support Steve by buying more Uncle Ben's Rice. :D :D :D
