I *hate* those ads - always thought they'd be one of my 'Room 101's.. There's
the one where that dozy woman knocks a 'display' over in the museum &
replaces it with an air freshener, there's a feminine-hygiene one (can't
remember the product at the mo'), and there's one where 2 women are
advertising an air freshener (Cif?) - they *seem* to be synching the words
ok, but for some reason it just doesn't seem natural..

Some thingsare so bad that they pass through badness and become good again.
Unintentionally.

There are a few american ads that are re-dubbed into British English. So
the words are the same - the lip movements match the words you hear - but
the synch isn't quite there.

Utterly, utterly brilliant.

And interstingly, vice-versa. Years ago I remember some
otherwise-forgettable cosmetics ad that was shown here, that had
various American women saying how great it was. Then I was in New York,
turned on the TV and saw the same advert with the same women, only now
they all had British accents instead.



Cheers,
