Ridiculous marketing...

[Elev8/Levit8]

Now, I know the opus on ridiculous advertising campaigns has existed since practically the dawn of time, and that it has been writ large across this board on a number of occasions...

Jiglo's thread got me thinking, and I've decided that yer bogroll manufacturers should definitely spare no effort or expense in their pursuit of the ultimate ring-cleansing experience for their customers. I'm all for an extra ply, or air-pocketed cushiony softness. Even a bit of the old dodgy-smelling balm impregnation I will hail as a good thing, and will not turn me nose up at

But what the fuck good is it to emboss fucking stylised cutesy cartoon dogs on a bogroll?

Just exactly how many extra rolls do the overpaid suits at Andrex expect this genius marketing campaign to sell?

Some c*nt somewhere want's firing for that fucking idea if you ask me...

I reckon it's on the right track for making the toilet experience more enjoyable

Maybe they could emboss jokes or poems or the sheets too

LOLOLOL!!!! I thought it was just my nana!! They're like tea cosy's but, erm, poo roll cosy's! To DRESS UP your poo roll!!! God knows where she got them from!!!! Maybe a fashion wear shop for poo rolls. Or more probably a car boot sale along with all the other random ridiculous ornamental crap.

That would have been high fashion in the 60s though. Thats why they still do it. The older you get, the more stuck in your ways you get. No need to change it, the old one works fine "Yes but it's a mangle nan!"


I hate bog roll, if you were an alien, you would never have a clue of the perpose of it. The soft lighting, the clean bed sheets, the dog. Like WEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

lol i'm with ya lozzer...
they should adopt a more functional approach to their adverts, like they do with flash or cillit bang, and show you some big fat sweaty fucker with a filthy arsehole. one swift wipe, and the shite is GONE! Then they could stretch it out a bit like, to show how it doesn't rip after you use it...

just an idea like...
