sh*t adverts

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

i'd never seen the kronebourg/ motorhead ad before. it's cool.
personally i detest 99% of adverts and mostly it's because of the awful music. too many have either twee foreign language songs from the dawn of time (presumably where they dont have to pay the songwriter anything) scatting instead of words and/or music or -worst of all- a classic song rearranged as an utter dirge. and i absolutely hate the car advert backed with a non-cramps version of human fly.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Don't care about that advert :lol: Cinderella's Long Cold Winter is one of the best bluesy metal albums you'll ever hear!
