If you're this ugly you should spend a few grand to sort it out - if not for yourself then for the rest of society. That's the message from Sky TV this Christmas.
Are you this ugly?
F*&k 'em
Capitalism demeans us all
These shite billboards were spotted in Sheffield yesterday. They're apparently advertising a TV drama but most motorists probably won't see the small print at the bottom and instead just catch the main headline. No doubt these ads were meant to be controversial - by getting people talking they spread their publicity by word of mouth. But whatever they intended the main message is pretty clear: get surgery.
Anyway lots of scope for subvertising here. These ones are on the ring road down from the Uni roundabout towards Hillsborough though no doubt there are others about.

irony?

Then you'll quickly forget about it and it will added to your subconcious store of information that may affect your decisions and thought processes without you even knowing.
So regardless of the intent of the ad I think this is a particularly harmful message to have broadcast into our community.

Are you really saying that although clever old you was able to spot that this was a TV advert the average person is not as clever so therefore won't be able too !!
Get real, it's obviously a TV / Film / Cosmetic advert, 99% of people will see that straight away and take from either a "I will watch that" or a "I won't watch that" message.

Shouldn't we be more careful about the messages we allow into our society? Not everyone who will see it will have the confidence to see irony.
It's just not appropriate and it saddens me.

This advert is obvious. anyone who takes away some sort of subtle "influence" away from it should probably not be allowed out without a handler.
We attribute far, far too much influence to adverts of this type.
