Title: Currys advertisement
Post by: Nickbat on 04 June 2010, 22:07:27

You'd think that, with all their money, Currys would be extremely careful in selecting only the best agency to make their TV advertisements.

Take a look, if you get the chance, at the advert which as been running today which concentrates on their cut-price flat-screen prices.

Look at the bottom of the picture:

"Ariel upgrade may be required....."

Soap powder, motorcycle...?  ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's not inconceivable that they think people watch soaps on them so the soaps might need upgrading? :(

Most areas of skill are being dumbed-down these days in the UK.  I won't start listing them but you've obviously picked-up on one.

There was a time when lots of people were involved in tv productions, most of whom could spot an error like that in an instant.  It was probably done by a media studies graduate on their first assignment.
