VW was rebuilt and resurrected after WW2 by the British Army though.

Of course they were, companies like VW were necessary for repairing German infrastructure and tying them to the West. The history of Nazi influence will always be there though.

And everyone knows the British have a spotless history.

It’s not on TV (as far as I know) but this is a horrific advert for a horrific product. :dread:

I’m sure it won’t take long for other uses to be found for it.

The Just Eat adverts give me AIDs every time. I hate deliberately and objectively irritating adverts the most.

Hurry up Iran and launch the nuke. We do not deserve life.

The current 'u OK hun' Diet Coke ad boils my piss.

Jesus Christ. The worst part of this whole "do it for the 'gram" phase of advertising is that people do actually care about it :dread:

getting likes/followers etc seems to be an alarmingly genuine ambition of so many young people.

I don't get it either, not that I actually want to understand how people like that think (if at all).

People get addicted to the attention:

Neuroscientists are studying the effects of social media on the brain and finding that positive interactions (such as someone liking your tweet) trigger the same kind of chemical reaction that is caused by gambling and recreational drugs.

According to an article by Harvard University researcher Trevor Haynes, when you get a social media notification, your brain sends a chemical messenger called dopamine along a reward pathway, which makes you feel good. Dopamine is associated with food, exercise, love, sex, gambling, drugs … and now, social media. Variable reward schedules up the ante; psychologist B.F. Skinner first described this in the 1930s. When rewards are delivered randomly (as with a slot machine or a positive interaction on social media), and checking for the reward is easy, the dopamine-triggering behavior becomes a habit.

Is that real or a parody?

Currently consumed with loathing by the advert that features a load of British local dialect phrases. Specifically, what appears to be an American woman saying “gert lush”.

I saw that earlier and almost lost the will to live.

Anyone, American or otherwise, saying "gert lush" is enough to turn my strawberry floating stomach. :dread:

What you have written there is a hate crime against Bristolians.

"Releases the same chemical as when you gamble or take drugs!" is the non-parody version of dihydrogen monoxide

I tend to record tv programes now so I avoid having to watch them, but that Just Eat ad is so darn annoying.
