Phallic "Go Find It" Advert

· ·

Phallic "Go Find It" AdvertSometimes the English are a little fickle about the stuff broadcast on TV and radio. People complain about insults, innuendo and out right misbehaviour (though this last one wasn't actually initially heard by anywhere near as many people as those who complained), but no one seems to have made any complaints about Ford's "Go Find It" advert gracing our TV …

Eukanuba Fetch

Eukanuba FetchThis is pure genius. Take 5 dogs, train them to carry empty dog food bags in their mouths, teach them to walk without distraction between two points and then set them to work in your local shopping centres.

The Snowman

· ·

The SnowmanChristmas isn't Christmas without certain things, and one of those things is the old classic kids movie The Snowman. The most well known part of the whole movie is when the boy and the snowman go "flying through the air" - sing along everyone... "We're walking in the air...".

Unfortunately it's not on TV this year, but fear not, Irn Bru's…
