Hence the insufferable parade of sarky cows who put down men in ads which portray women as the stronger sex.

Not to disrespect the snark (RESPECT THE SNARK!

) but the real reason is because studies still show that women do the vast majority of the shopping for a household.

Death to the word 'moreish', those who coined it and those who use it to sell us shit we don't need and is bad for us.

My goodness, where do I start?

The dumb daddy/dumb hubby
Senior citizens acting like teenagers
Monochrome video of sweaty people who look as if they haven't bathed in days
People beating each other up over mundane things
People who fight over the last (mass-produced) item in the store

Speaking as a guy who lives on his own and is a keen cook whose oven earns its keep, Oven Pride is an awesome product. However, I stopped using it out of principle purely because of this advert, which almost literally had me hurling stuff at the TV.

I would rather pay someone else to clean my oven than give this company another penny.

Any advert presented by know-all children - whom you are supposed to find endearing but are actually very annoying.

Worse still, adults acting like, or voiced as, children. Yuck!
