How does a bunch of badly dressed gugs nodding their heads equate to being against horse racing?

I have a couple more contenders.

Exhibit A.


Who the **** yells as they're about to deliver the ball?
Also, how dodgy is the umpire grinning from ear to ear as he gives his boss out?

Exhibit B.


This kid is not funny, and 'besterest' is not a word.

Dominos cheesy toasty crust or whatever its called

Normally they make an effort to make the pizzas not look completely shit but the one on the ad looks like cat food, some honest advertising for once.

Exhibit A - Who the hell is getting out LBW to her? It would be lucky to still be bouncing by the time it got to the batsman…

You can ring Foxtel and tell them you want to cancel due to the cost, they will bargain with you . Currently we have Platinum, 2x IQ4s and HD, $110/month for 12 months uncontracted. There is a big thread over at Whirlpool--

This is very poor advertising, I guess they just want people to talk about how ridiculous an ad can be.

He has a shave but the shaver doesn't remove the bum fluff off the top of his lip?

I think I'm a good judge of a shaver, even if I shaved in the morning, if I go out in the evening I'll still need to have another shave before heading out :lol:
